    Abstract: A media channel can include a mix of media items and invitational content packages. At some point during the playback of the media channel, an invitational content package can be presented. In response to detecting the occurrence of an interactive segment triggering event during the presentation of the invitational content package, an invitational content interactive segment and a next media item can be simultaneously presented. This can be accomplished by splitting the media channel into multiple streams, such as an audio stream and a visual stream, and presenting an element of the interactive segment within a first stream and an element of the media item within a second stream. To decrease the likelihood that a user may equate the invitational content with the media item, a bumper content item, such as audio that says, “now back to the music,” can be presented just prior to playback of the media item.

    Abstract translation: 媒体频道可以包括媒体项目和邀请内容包的组合。 在播放媒体频道的某个时刻，可以呈现邀请内容包。 响应于在呈现邀请内容包期间检测到交互式段触发事件的发生，可以同时呈现邀请内容交互区段和下一个媒体项目。 这可以通过将媒体信道分成多个流（例如音频流和可视流）并且在第一流内的媒体项目的第一流和元素内呈现交互式段的元素来实现。 为了降低用户可以将邀请内容与媒体项目相等的可能性，可以在播放媒体项目之前呈现保险杠内容项，例如说“现在回到音乐”的音频。

    Abstract: A content management system and/or client device can enable a user to initiate a quick play mode where a content category and content medium are selected for the user. A client device and/or a content management system can select a content medium for a user based on one or more factors, such as the content category. Certain content categories of content can be preferably delivered in certain content mediums. In some embodiments, a content management system and/or client device can select a content medium for a user based on contextual data gathered from the user. Contextual data can be data describing the user's current state and/or environment. For example, contextual data can include data such as the time of day, geographic location, etc.

    Abstract: The subject technology provides for synchronized playback of different media content streams. The disclosed techniques may include determining, while certain audio content is being outputted, whether a triggering event has occurred at a media device. Responsive to a determination that the triggering event has occurred, audio information including identification information and a current output status of the audio content may be obtained, and a visual content stream for visual content corresponding to the audio content may be obtained. At the media device, the visual content stream may be processed based on the audio information to determine a starting time point indicating a time point within the visual content from which to start outputting the visual content. The visual content may be outputted such that the output of the visual content begins at the starting time point and is synchronized in time with the audio content.

    Abstract: Improved techniques and systems for delivery and acquisition of digital assets are disclosed. The techniques and systems are especially suitable and useful for delivering digital assets (e.g., media assets) that are available for acquisition and electronic delivery from online stores to electronic devices. In accordance with one aspect, when a digital asset is acquired from an online store via an electronic device associated with a user, the digital asset can be arranged for delivery to a number of other of electronic devices also associated with the user. It will be appreciated that the digital asset can be delivered and acquired without requiring explicit user input or instruction in accordance with another aspect. Other aspects of the techniques and systems include customization of configuration and user interfaces that are provided to facilitate acquisition of digital assets in a more efficient manner.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for providing content in response to a request includes a processor configured to receive a voice request for content associated with a home environment, the voice request corresponding to a user account, and determine, based on the voice request, not to provide the content via the device. The processor is further configured to select, in response to the determining, a second device from among multiple devices associated with the home environment, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on configuration settings associated with the home environment, and provide for the second device to output the content based on a profile of the user account.
