Appl. No.:

09/823863

Inventors:

Eddie M. Schwalb - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camus WA

International Classification:

H04N007/025

US Classification:

725 32, 725 42, 725131, 725136, 725151

Abstract:

Methods and systems for the mass customization of Digital Television broadcasts through the broadcasting of commercials in the form of software applications. Ad-applications are injected into various sub-streams of the transport stream and received in a dormant state by the client-side set-top box. When a commercial is to be shown, a broadcaster broadcasts a generic time-stamped trigger to a dispatching application that performs a keyword matching algorithm to decide which ad-application among those received at the receiver is to be executed. The dispatching application uses the results of the latter comparison to decide which specific dormant ad-application to route to; it then converts the generic trigger into a chosen-ad trigger that is routed to the chosen ad-application. Upon receipt of the chosen-ad trigger, the chosen ad-application executes, thereby displaying an ad customized to the individual viewer's interests.

Abstract:

A method and system for the mass customization of Digital Television broadcasts that involves the broadcasting of synchronized sub-streams. Each sub-stream is divided into segments of equal length and marked by time-stamped tags. The sub-streams include keywords describing the video content, and the sub-stream keywords are compared with viewer keywords at the client-side set-top box to derive a match score. The set-top box then switches to the sub-stream having the best match score. Thus, the client-side set-top box can automatically select commercials that best fit the personal interests of each viewer, resulting in better targeted commercials and simultaneously benefitting the viewer and advertiser.

Inventors:

Xin Wang - Fremont CA, US
Lee Chen - Saratoga CA, US
John Chiong - San Jose CA, US

Assignee:

A10 NETWORKS, INC. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 27

Abstract:

The inventive system includes a host, a network including a security gateway, and a public application. Established are an access session between the network and the host and an application session between the public application and the network. An application session record is created for the application session, and includes the user's public user identity used to access the public application, the user's private user identity used to access the network, a host identity, and an application session time, To determine the private user identity for the application session, the security gateway sends a query with the host identity and the application session time. These are compared with the host identity and access session time in an access session record, if they match, then the private user identity in the access session record is returned, and it is stored as the private user identity in the application session record.

Abstract:

Provided are methods and systems for balancing servers based on a server load status. A method for balancing servers based on a server load status may commence with receiving, from a server of a plurality of servers, a service response to a service request. The service response may include a computing load of the server. The method may continue with receiving a next service request from a host. The method may further include determining, based on the computing load of the server, whether the server is available to process the next service request. The method may include selectively sending the next service request to the server based on the determination that the server is available to process the next service request.
