摘要： Certain exemplary embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and/or methods for distributing advertisements from a central advertisement network to one or more peripheral devices at a location via a local advertisement server. In certain exemplary embodiments, the local advertisement server within a location receives advertisements from the central advertisement network and rebroadcasts them to peripheral devices within that location. Advertising information may be tracked and reported, e.g., for accounting, revenue-sharing, and/or other purposes in certain exemplary embodiments. Thus, in certain exemplary embodiments, the distribution of advertisements is provided to peripherals via a non-web- and non-PC-dependent network. Moreover, in certain exemplary embodiments, reporting and advertising related communications are substantially bi-directional regardless of device type. Certain exemplary embodiments provide revenue sharing among some or all of the central advertising network provider, the proprietors of locations, operators tasked with maintaining the local ad server and/or the peripheral devices, etc.

摘要： The present invention is directed to statistical methods for measuring cross-screen efficacy as it relates to advertising. The improved statistical methods provide the ability for advertisers and advertising agencies to predict the behaviors of consumers based on their aggregated cross-screen behavior. The system creates a new output that includes optimized user segments and classifications. A second part of the output is improved measurement and prediction of future consumer behaviors based on the processed multisided data on cross-screen behavior.

摘要： An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped; the ad is unskippable. This technique is referred to as “bounceback” since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, it is moved to after the end of the skip. This technique is referred to as “slip-ad” since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic.

摘要： A video device configured to display video content includes a downstream network circuit for accessing and exchanging data with a computing system over a network, a downstream signal processing circuit for receiving video signals over a broadcast medium and converting the video signals into a video content stream, and one or more processors for causing a display to present the video content, and while displaying the video content, identifying a vendor, determining that the vendor is a registered biller, determining that the user has a bill due with the vendor, and overlaying an indication of the bill onto the video content, where the overlay includes an interactive element enabling the user to provide a user input to cause a payment to be made to the vendor. A bill pay request is generated and sent through the downstream network circuit to cause a payment to be made to the vendor.

摘要： A video player includes the user interface comprising: a video display; a texture strip visually representing a series of frames of a video, the texture strip comprising a sequence of textured frame representations, each textured frame representation in sequence of textured frame representations representing a corresponding frame from a series of frames; a control to allow a user to use the texture strip to seek frames in the series of frames in a random manner. An input is received via the control, the input including an indication of a selection of a location in the texture strip, the location in the texture strip having a corresponding temporal location in the series of frames. Based on the input, a frame selected from the series of frames is displayed in the video display, the selected frame located at the corresponding temporal location in the series of frames.

摘要： Aspects of the disclosure relate to measuring and managing data traffic in one or more networks. In some embodiments, a monitor may measure the traffic at one or more locations within the network(s) or devices associated therewith to determine whether the traffic exceeds a threshold. When the traffic exceeds the threshold, one or more actions may be taken, such as issuing or transmitting a command or directive. The command or directive may advise a device or an application to throttle or reduce an input or stimulus responsible for generating the traffic. In some embodiments, a throttling may be effectuated to reduce the data traffic.
