Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for drone flight path automation for site inspections. A user can operate a drone in a sequence around a site and capture data. The data is logged and used to generate an automated flight path, so that for future flights, the drone can fly an automated flight path along the same flight path sequence as the logged flight path and capture data of the site. For example, automated flight paths allow drones to capture data in the same way on each flight so inconsistencies in measured data of the site can be identified, since the flight paths are the same. In some implementations, the captured data is used to generate a three-dimensional (3D) interactive model of the site. The 3D interactive model can be used for acquiring certifications for the site from permitting authorities or inspectors.

Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for detecting interruptions while streaming media content. An interruption detection system can monitor streaming media content to detect when an interruption (e.g., commercial break, advertisement, etc.) will occur in the streaming content. The interruption detection system can query the content delivery platform to determine whether the same content is available on another channel. When the same video content is available on another channel, the interruption detection system can switch to the second channel when the interruption begins and continue to stream the media content for the user. The interruption detection system can detect when the interruption is ending on the first channel and notify the user of the amount of time until the interruption is complete. When the commercial is complete, the interruption detection system can switch back to the original channel.
