    摘要: Provided are methods and systems for inserting custom content. An example method can comprise receiving, at a first computing device, an insertion instruction over a first non-packet-switching protocol information stream. The method can also comprise querying, by the first computing device, a second computing device in response to receiving the insertion instruction. The method can further comprise receiving, at the first computing device, content over a packet-switching protocol information stream in response to querying the second computing device. The content can be customized for an end-user associated with the first computing device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for identification and characterization of latency in a content delivery network. In one embodiment, interaction of users with content is recorded via collection of tuning records; the latency is then utilized to adjust the timing on the tuning records to account for lapses in time for sending these between entities of the network and the user devices, and for processing occurring at the devices. The latency is determined by taking into account a device specific latency component, and a network latency component. The network latency component is determined in one variant by sending a message to the device from the network requesting a response. Once the timing of the tuning records is adjusted, these tuning records may be relied upon as being accurate on a second-by-second basis. Accordingly, tuning records may be obtained and analyzed for content which lasts for a very short period of time.

    摘要: The system and methods described herein provided storyline summaries of missed content to users timed to reduce interruptions of content. A summary application detects missed content, that comprises a plurality of storylines. The summary application also identifies a storyline of current content being generated for presentation and retrieves a storyline-specific summary of a portion of the missed content comprising the current storyline. The summary application then generates, for presentation, the retrieved storyline-specific summary.

    摘要: Techniques performed by a data processing system for conducting a communication session between a plurality of computing devices of a plurality of participants herein include establishing a communication session between a plurality of computing devices of a plurality of participants in which media content associated with the communication session is provided to each of the computing devices of the plurality of participants, receiving, via a network connection, a first media stream from the computing device of a first participant that includes a rendering of a first content item to be shared with the plurality of participants, performing image analysis on pixel data of the first media steam to identify features of the first content item, identifying a first file associated with the first content item based on the features of the first content item, and providing access to the participants to the first file associated with the first content item.
