    摘要: A method of modifying playing of media content in a group watch session comprises receiving a command to modify play; determining respective preferences of respective users in the session; and, if it is determined that execution of the command is consistent with the preferences, causing modifying of the playing of at least a portion of the media content based on the received command, e.g., by skipping the portion, jumping to another play position, or rewinding or fast-forwarding through the portion. In this manner, the command is executed, or not executed, based on the preferences of multiple users. The method may include estimating a satisfaction score for the command for the respective users, and comparing the estimated satisfaction scores with a reference score. The portion(s) of the media content for which play is modified may be determined based on the estimated satisfaction scores.

    摘要: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for automated translation of digital multimedia. The present disclosure is configured to receive, from a user input device, a search request; determine the response for the search query in a first natural language, wherein the response comprises digital multimedia; reconfigure the response for display on the user input device in the preferred natural language, wherein reconfiguring further comprises: determining an intermediate natural language based on a lexical similarity with the preferred natural language; translating, using a first natural language translation subsystem, the response from the first natural language to the intermediate language; and translating, using a second natural language translation subsystem, the response from the intermediate language to the preferred natural language; and display the reconfigured response on the user input device in the preferred natural language.

    摘要: A system can be configured to generate customized content data suitable for marketing, advertising, or campaigns. The customized content data can be feedable or can be streamed to devices, such as end user devices. The customized content data can include a static content component, e.g., referring to a product, such as a car, or a service, and a dynamic content component, e.g., a product version, such as a color of the car. The customized content data can alternatively include a static content component and one or more dynamic content components, e.g., a music or music track selected to be combined with the static content component. Two or more components can be combined at the time of rendering the customized content data on an end-user device. The customized content data can also be generated for streaming or transferring to the end-user device.

    摘要: Generative media content (e.g., generative audio) can be played back across multiple playback devices concurrently. A coordinator device can receive a multi-channel stream of media content, with at least some channels comprising generative media content. The coordinator device transmits each of the channels to a plurality of playback devices. A first playback device plays back a first subset of the channels according to first playback responsibilities and a second playback device plays back a second subset of the channels according to second playback responsibilities. The first and/or second playback responsibilities can be dynamically modified over time, for example in response to one or more input parameters.

    摘要: An aspect of the disclosure related to methods and systems configured to detect that an item of streaming primary video content associated with a channel of scheduled streaming content is designated to be streamed to a device. Ancillary content is identified. Alternative versions of respective sections of the ancillary content are identified. Metadata corresponding to the alternative versions of ancillary content, metadata corresponding to the item of primary video content, and/or metadata corresponding to the channel are used in selecting a first section from among the alternative versions of a given section. The ancillary content, including the selected first section from among the alternative versions is streamed to the device immediately before, during, or immediately after the item of streaming video content. The alternative versions may be transcoded to generate multiple encoded iterations of respective alternative versions and the encoded versions are stored in a tree data structure.
