Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for selecting video channels is implemented on a computing device and includes: presenting at least one set of detected facial images, detecting user selection of a selected set of detected facial images, where each of the at least one set is associated with one of the video channels; and sending a video channel switching command to a video channel playing device, where the video channel switching command indicates a switch to the video channel associated with the selected set of detected facial images.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for presenting alternate content during a channel change on a video content playing device includes: receiving a viewer's request to tune to a particular channel, retrieving tuning context data from a memory of the video content playing device, where the tuning context data is indicative of a context in which the viewer tunes to the particular channel, processing the tuning context data using a channel function associated with the particular channel to identify alternate content likely to be of interest to a viewer of the particular channel, identifying a network address for the alternate content associated with the particular channel in accordance with a result of the processing, retrieving the alternate content according to the network address, and presenting the alternate content on the video content playing device before presenting the program currently being broadcast on the particular channel.

Abstract: A method comprises collecting, by a computing device located at an edge of a network, data items corresponding to information transmitted by endpoints using the network, generating, by the computing device, a probabilistic hierarchy using the data items, generating, by the computing device using the probabilistic hierarchy and natural language data, a similarity metric, generating, by the computing device using the probabilistic hierarchy, the natural language data, and the similarity metric, an ontology, detecting, by the computing device using the ontology, an anomaly, and in response to detecting the anomaly, sending a notification.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for broadcast state agnostic timeline metadata presentation on a companion device is implemented on a computing device and includes: receiving timeline metadata associated with a video content item in a pseudo-live mode, where the timeline metadata is received from a timeline metadata provision system according to a timeline for an original broadcast of the video content item, and presenting the timeline metadata as it is received from said timeline metadata provision system, where the presenting is in parallel to an original or non-original broadcast of the video content item playing on an associated viewing device.
