Abstract

It is provided a method for providing synchronized content playback to at least two display devices at the presentation level, wherein, at least one content flow is provided to the at least two display devices. It comprises steps of receiving status report messages from the at least two display devices, wherein the status report message comprises information about the position of content flow currently being playbacked at the presentation level of a display device; and if determining the at least one content flow currently being playbacked on the two or more display devices make viewer feel out of synchronization based on the received status report messages, performing adjustment for the at least one content flow so as to eliminate viewer's subjective feeling of out of synchronization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a method for synchronous content playback. Background technique [0002] Rich media applications are becoming more and more popular because users can actively participate in them. With the convergence of TV networks and the Internet, this trend spread from computers to TV screens. Rich media applications have a reputation for user interaction: viewers can not only watch multiple types of related media content at the same time, such as video, audio, images, animations, text, etc., but also freely switch between multiple devices or Divert the media stream. For example, when a car appears in a movie, the user can obtain an advertising video about the car; while watching a museum video, the user can simultaneously obtain the virtual world content of the museum. Looking to the future of TV programming, one display device cannot provide enough display space for multiple simultaneou...
