摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed to mitigate stalling of streaming content due to rebuffering so that, e.g., the content consumer does not experience gaps in playback. In some embodiments, by buffering streaming content simultaneously at two bitrate levels—e.g., one of the lowest bitrates and a better-quality bitrate, within the bandwidth limitations—rebuffering-caused gaps in playback of a higher quality (HQ) stream may be filled with a lower quality (LQ) stream. For instance, client-side dual buffers may store n segments from the HQ stream during a given time and a multiple of n number of segments from the LQ stream, thus allowing for many of the LQ segments to be output if the HQ stream is rebuffering. If a segment of content is beginning to be played back as an LQ segment, there is no reason to buffer the same segment from the HQ stream. Moreover, after a segment of content is played back (or decoded) as either HQ or LQ, the corresponding HQ segment and/or LQ segment may be discarded from the dual buffer, e.g., to create buffer space for upcoming segments.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for improving live streaming. A content item comprising a plurality of segments is received at a computing device at a first time. The content item is stored, and it is identified that a first segment of the plurality of segments is below a quality threshold. The first segment is processed to improve the quality of the first segment, and the content item is updated with the improved-quality first segment. At a second time, a request to access the content item is received, and the updated version of the content item is transmitted in response to the request.

摘要: A computer-implemented method and an apparatus are provided for presenting an option to purchase an NFT based on a scene of a media asset to an advertiser. One example computer-implemented method includes obtaining, from a first source, a scene of a media asset, determining that the scene comprises a product, obtaining, from a second source, a non-fungible token (NFT) based on the scene, matching the NFT to an advertiser based on the product, and presenting an option to purchase the matched NFT to the advertiser.

摘要: Systems and methods are described for determining that a plurality of user profiles, stored in the memory, are associated with an account of a media application; generating for presentation a media asset during a first consumption session associated with the account; generating for presentation a selectable option to associate a current progress point of the media asset with one or more of the plurality of user profiles associated with the account; receiving a selection of one or more of the plurality of user profiles via the selectable option; during a second consumption session, receiving a request for accessing the media asset; and in response to determining that the second consumption session is associated with the selected one or more user profiles, resuming the media asset from the progress point associated with the selectable option.

摘要: Methods and systems for saving resources when outputting a media asset such as a video are provided. The media asset is split into a first portion with a first importance and a second portion with the second importance. The first portion is displayed with a first set of output parameters (e.g., resolution, bit rate, frame rate, display size) and the second portion is displayed with a second set of output parameters that correspond to a lower quality than the first set of output parameters (e.g., a lower resolution, a lower bit rate, a lower frame rate, a lower display size).

摘要: Systems and methods are described for receiving a first request, associated with a first user profile, to record a content item, and storing, at a server and based on the first request, a first copy of the content item, accessible via the first user profile. A second request to record the content item may be received, associated with a second user profile, and content consumption history associated with the second user profile may be identified. Based on such content consumption history, a determination may be made to refrain from storing a second copy of the content item based on the second request. In response to receiving a request, associated with the second user profile, to access the content item, the content item may be played at a device associated with the second user profile based on the stored first copy of the content item.

摘要: Systems and methods for overlaying virtual objects in a virtual environment based on user interest and user interactions are disclosed. The methods analyze a live view of a surface viewed through camera or a transparent lens and determine if the policies of the surface allow overlaying of virtual objects. The method fetches a virtual object and calculates a score based on user interest, user gaze, and user engagement. Virtual objects that meet the policies of the surface and a scoring criterion are overlayed on the surface in the virtual environment and enhanced based on a plurality of enhancement factors. Virtual objects are also overlayed in frames of a live broadcast based on their scores. Virtual objects displayed on a conference call interface, which may be meeting tools or icons associated with other conferencing functionality, are enhanced, or removed from the user interface based on their utilization.

摘要: Systems and methods are described to receive a query from a user and provide a reply that is appropriate for an age group of the user. A query for a media asset is received, where such query comprises an inputted term, and the query is determined to be received from a user belonging to a first age group. A context of the inputted term within the query is identified, and in response to the determining, based on the identified context, that the inputted term of the query is inappropriate for the first age group, a replacement term for the inputted term that is related to the inputted term and is appropriate for the first age group in the context of the query is identified. The query is modified to replace the inputted term with the identified replacement term, and a reply to the modified query is generated for output.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for automatically recommending content. One example method includes receiving, from a computing device, a request for content and generating an initial result set in response to the request. A user profile associated with the request is identified. Based on the initial result set and the user profile, a positivity index score for the initial result set is determined. Based on the positivity index score, a type of additional content to add to the initial result set is determined. A modified result set is generated by adding the additional content to the initial result set. At least a portion of the modified result set is transmitted to the computing device.

摘要: Systems and methods are described for adapting a second user input device to resemble a first user input device while preserving new functionalities not available in the first user input device. The systems and methods may identify, based on identifiers of the first and second user input devices, a first and second set of device functionalities provided by the devices. The systems and methods may compare the sets of device functionalities to determine a set of common device functionalities and, in response, modify the display of an input of the second user input device to correspond to visual attributes of an input of the first user input device.
