    摘要: In one embodiment, a method determines multiple screens of multiple mobile computing devices should be combined in playback of a video. A first mobile computing device receives the video and determines device characteristics based on a positioning of the first mobile computing device in relation to a second mobile computing device. Playback characteristics are determined based on the device characteristics. Then, the first mobile computing device renders a first portion of the video on a first screen based on the playback characteristics where a second portion of the video is rendered on a second screen of the second mobile computing device.

    摘要: Estimating ad inventory in an online video streaming system accurately handles interdependencies among targeted attributes. The estimating includes determining a probability distribution of samples taken from electronic data records of ad impressions in an interactive online video streaming service, among a population comprising each different combination of targeted attributes recorded for each of the samples. In addition, the estimating may include populating an electronic data structure with data relating the each different combination of the targeted attributes to corresponding forecasted number of available impressions in a defined time period, based on the probability distribution and a forecasted total number of available impressions in the time period. Then, estimating the ad inventory is based on the electronic data structure and targeting attributes for an ad campaign, optionally including summing forecasted impressions for combinations of the targeted attributes that include all of the defined set of targeted attributes.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes storing a caption file including a set of visual representations of captions for a media program and a video file including video information for the media program. A server receives a request for the media program where the request is associated with a user device. The method determines the caption file and the video file for the media program based on the request. The server then sends visual representations of the captions from the caption file out of band with video information from the video file over a network to the user device. The user device is configured to overlay a visual representation of a caption over a portion of the video information.
