Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing media content to be rendered as a presentation for a user at a set of one or more media devices (60, 600) in an arrangement at a point in time, the presentation being based on layout rules (66b) defining suitability and configuration of media objects (55) for rendering, the arrangement and one or more user-associated characteristics and/or attributes constituting a context for the presentation which is formed of selected media objects from a set, the context having one or more constraints (66c), each constraint defining a property of the context affecting the rendering of at least a subset of the selected media objects (55). The method comprises configuring, for each media object, a characteristic satisfying a utility condition based on a measure of utility of the media object (55) in the context at the point in time, the measure of utility being evaluated in respect of the constraints (66c) of the context; and identifying the selected media objects from the set based on the measures of utility and layout rules (66b).

Abstract: Methods and systems for deciding whether, when, for how long, and/or where insertable image content will be displayed on top of a video presentation (i.e. existing image content) are disclosed. This can be for the imminent placement of insertable image content or a delayed placement of insertable image content. The decision making process depends upon the generation of a ‘cool map’. A cool map is a weighted map of the screen real estate that shows the areas that it would be practical to place insertable image content.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for media content distribution. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is disclosed comprising steps of: providing a plurality of media objects, including a default object, for selection by, unicast communication (27) to, and rendering by consumer entities (30a, 30b, 30c); receiving metadata (26) for a plurality of the consumer entities indicating an extent of use of at least a subset of the media objects by said consumer entities; applying a rule relating to the consumption of media objects by the consumer entities to the metadata; and responsive to the application of the rule, generating a composite of the default object and at least one other object for multicast communication (25) to at least a subset of the consumer entities.

Abstract: A wireless access point (10) connected to a fixed telecommunications network (12) broadcasts codes relating to one or more network identities (100, 101) identifying availability of wireless connection to the access point, If connection to the telecommunications network (12) is lost, it suspends one of the identity codes (100) and replaces it with a special identity code for a network identity (102) configured to co-operate with a mobile terminal (53) equipped to recognise the special identity code and transmit a message over another communications link (6, 49) to alert a service centre (7) to the fault (13).
