Abstract:

A method for content insertion is provided. In this method, a first media data is received from a server and a placement request is transmitted to a content provider service. As a result, a placement response is received from the content provider service. The placement response includes data identifying a second media data associated with the first media data. The second media data is retrieved and merged with the first media data. After the merge, the first and second media data are transmitted to the server.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709218

Abstract:

A method and system for providing a content object is disclosed with an in-stream ad unit inserted into the content object for a content object player. The content object is audio and/or video. A media services platform (MSP) knows of one or more in-stream slots in the content object where in-stream ad units may be placed. The MSP queries a display ad server (DAS) to specify the in-stream ad unit, however the DAS does not natively support in-stream ad units in this embodiment. The MSP maps one or more in-stream slots in the content object to corresponding display ad locations. The MSP places the in-stream ad unit into the slot of the content object to create a processed content object. The MSP optionally transcodes the processed content object. The processed content object is downloaded or streamed to the content object player.

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

Techniques for delivering content to an end user device are disclosed. A policy server performs an ingest process in which multiple versions of a content object are created. The multiple versions of the content object are associated with a single network identifier which can be distributed to publishers of the content object. When the content object is requested using the single network identifier, the policy server determines a preferred version and delivery orchestration scheme from among the multiple versions for delivery to an end user device based on several criteria. The policy server may thereafter orchestrate delivery of the preferred version of the content object to the end user device. The single network identifier may be associated with an edge location in a content delivery network (CDN) and the policy server may orchestrate delivery in cooperation with servers at the CDN edge location.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

US Classification:

709219

Abstract:

A method for implementing an automated feedback loop to control content publication in accordance with a digital presence in a CDN may include storing and distributing content in response to user requests using a plurality of edge servers with first content being provided in a plurality of first content variants on edge servers. The method may also include managing and analyzing a digital presence as provided by the CDN using a digital presence controller, and analyzing, user interactions with the plurality of first content variants on the plurality of edge servers. The method may additionally include receiving second content, and causing a plurality of second content variants to be provided to the plurality of edge servers, the plurality of second content variants being determined based on the analysis of the user interactions with the plurality of first content variants.

US Classification:

725109

Abstract:

A distributed system in a data network for processing real time data streams from multiple data sources includes perceptors accessible over the data network each being configured to perform a specific task. Each perceptor receives one or more of the real time data streams and provides an output data stream indicative of the results of performing the specific task. In addition, the distributed system includes also multiple applications accessible over the data network. Each application is configured to receive one or more of the output data streams of the perceptors and each application is configured to provide a response based on analyzing the received output data streams of the perceptors. The distributed system also includes a stream server accessible over the data network. The stream server receives the real time data streams and is configured to provide any of the received real time data streams to any of the perceptors.
