Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that utilize machine learning techniques to dynamically adjust the placement of secondary content that is displayed across numerous user devices over time are described. The user devices may comprise electronic computing devices, such as a mobile phones and digital televisions. The secondary content may be displayed within open slots of webpages or display screens in response to being selected for display during a real-time bidding process for the open slots. In some cases, in response to a bid request for an open slot within a webpage or display screen, a computer-implemented bid generation system for determining the selection and placement of secondary content may identify the secondary content to be displayed within the open slot, determine a bid amount for the identified secondary content, and transmit a bid response that includes the bid amount and the identified secondary content.

Abstract: A method for media content streaming includes: determining, from a plurality of media content items, multiple predicted media content items and multiple playback positions, based on history data of a user; transcoding a portion of each of the multiple predicted media content items to generate multiple passive adaptive streamlets for each of the multiple predicted media content items at different bitrates; receiving a command to start playback of a first predicted media content item selected from the multiple predicted media content items; outputting a first passive adaptive streamlet selected from the multiple passive adaptive streamlets of the first predicted media content item; while outputting the first passive adaptive streamlet, requesting, receiving, and transcoding a second portion of the first predicted media content item to generate an active adaptive streamlet of the first predicted media content item; immediately following outputting the first passive adaptive streamlet, outputting the active adaptive streamlet.

Abstract: A satellite internet system includes an edge device that services a neighborhood or relatively close terrestrial area. The edge device receives satellite transmissions, and caches at least some of the received content in a disk drive or other local data storage. In some implementations, the data cached in local storage relates to popular media programs or other content that is likely to be requested by multiple customers operating within range of the edge device. The edge device communicates with customer devices in the area via a terrestrial wireless network. Customer devices obtain cached data directly from the edge device via the terrestrial network, when possible, rather than receiving a dedicated stream of the same data via satellite, thereby reducing bandwidth consumption on the satellite link.

Abstract: A method for brand recognition in video by implementing a brand recognition application coupled to a streaming media player, for identifying an observed set of brands streamed in a broadcast video; receiving, by the brand recognition application, a broadcast video stream of a series of images contained in consecutive frames about an object of interest; extracting a set of brand features from each of image received by applying a trained brand recognition model with neural networks in order to detect one or more features related to each displayed object of interest in each frame, wherein the object of interest is associated with a brand image contained video content displayed to a viewer; and displaying, by a graphic user interface, information from the brand recognition application comprising at least time detected of the brand image in the video content of the broadcast video.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving the delivery of streamed audiovisual content derived from over-the-air digital television signals by reducing streaming start latency are described. In response to detecting a request from a client device to begin a streaming session for a video stream captured by an over-the-air antenna, a streaming device in communication with the client device via a wired or wireless networking connection may transmit a reduced resolution version of the video stream to the client device, establish encryption and decryption keys for a secure connection with the client device while the reduced resolution version of the video stream is transmitted to the client device, communicate a point in time after which an encrypted version of the video stream will be transmitted to the client device, and transmit the encrypted version of the video stream to the client device starting at the point in time.

Abstract: An example method includes the steps of receiving an encoded video packet including a packet header and generating a modified packet header. The modified packet header is generated by setting a first value in the packet header to indicate zero reference frames, and by setting a second value in the packet header designating an i-frame as unused for reference. The i-frame is decoded in response to the modified packet header to extract the i-frame without caching the i-frame in a decoded picture buffer. A thumbnail image is generated and includes an image from the i-frame. The thumbnail image is stored directly in memory.

Abstract: A technique is described for generating a unified list (e.g., a list ribbon) of programs from a variety and disparate channels, the list for display on an over-the-top (OTT) client device. As an example, the unified list can be generated from OTT live channels and from over-the-air OTA and/or Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) live channels. Further, the unified list can include OTT recordings on the cloud and OTA/ATSC recordings on the local hard drive connected to an OTA local DVR. Thus, the OTT device Client obtains the list from the DVR backend, instead of going to the local OTA client box for the local recordings.

Abstract: A robust, computationally-efficient and secure system is described for streaming content from a server to a client device via the Internet or another digital network. Various aspects relate to automated processes, systems and devices for securing a media stream with efficient yet effective digital cryptography. In particular, content may be transmitted in transport stream (TS) format in which all packets are encrypted (e.g., using a cipher block chain), in which control packets are exempted from encryption (e.g., using an electronic codebook), or in any other manner.

Abstract: A media content storage and delivery system, and related operating methods are presented here. A disclosed method of delivering user-provided content that is linked to on-demand media content involves: causing playback of on-demand media content at a first presentation device; receiving uploaded media content, wherein uploading of the uploaded media content is initiated during playback of the on-demand media content at the first presentation device; and linking the uploaded media content with the on-demand media content. After performing the linking, the method causes playback of the on-demand media content at a second presentation device, and causes playback of the uploaded media content after playback of the on-demand media content at the second presentation device, or after pausing playback of the on-demand media content at the second presentation device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing video generated by a camera with media content generated by a media source external to the camera. A calibration procedure is performed in which a time delay is determined that includes a camera delay associated with the camera. A display device displays a sequence of images comprising a first image displayed for a first time period and a second image displayed for a second time period. The camera captures a plurality of captured images capturing display of the sequence of images and a transmitter device coupled to the camera transmits the captured images to a hub. The hub determines a target image of the captured images corresponding to display of the second image. The time delay is determined based on a difference between a time associated with the target image and a time associated with the second image.
