    Abstract: A media content storage and delivery system, and related operating methods are presented here. A disclosed method of delivering user-provided content that is linked to on-demand media content involves: causing playback of on-demand media content at a first presentation device; receiving uploaded media content, wherein uploading of the uploaded media content is initiated during playback of the on-demand media content at the first presentation device; and linking the uploaded media content with the on-demand media content. After performing the linking, the method causes playback of the on-demand media content at a second presentation device, and causes playback of the uploaded media content after playback of the on-demand media content at the second presentation device, or after pausing playback of the on-demand media content at the second presentation device.

    Abstract: A unique code per pairing of each remote control to each controlled device (such as a TV or other media device) is used in infrared (IR) commands sent by the remote control for the device to detect if the remote control has been moved to a different room. The remote control supports both IR and short range wireless radio (e.g., Bluetooth®) commands. Both IR and Bluetooth® commands are sent on every key press of the remote control unit. When the IR command is received by the device, the device will check if the unique code is from a remote control unit currently paired to the device. If the unique code is not from a remote control unit currently paired to the device, the device will initiate pairing with the remote control unit and execute the command.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for selecting supplemental content for a viewer based on supplemental-content analytics for the view. Supplemental-content analytics are generated for the viewer based on historical viewer interactions with previously provided supplemental content by the viewer. While content is being provided to the viewer, a determination is made to pause the content and provide supplemental content to the viewer. The supplemental content is then selected and provided to the viewer based on the supplemental-content analytics for the viewer.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for tracking reward associated with content consumption are provided. An example method includes receiving streaming content of at least one content item from a content provider, outputting, via an application being executed on the streaming device, streaming content to a display for playback of the output content, periodically generating a plurality of heartbeat messages during execution of the application. Each heartbeat message is timestamped and includes a header containing information about the at least one content item, and one or more entries indicating a current playback state regarding the output of the streaming content when the heartbeat message is generated. The method further includes transmitting the plurality of heartbeat messages to a user engagement tracking device connected to the user device and receiving a notification indicating a total duration of content output to the display during execution of the application.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, zero touch provisioning (ZTP) in a cloud based 5G system are provided. In some embodiments, the ZTP includes receiving a request to perform ZTP on the component in the 5G system; generating a ZTP request based on the request; obtaining a ZTP payload according to the ZTP request; determining one or more ZTP operations based on the ZTP payload; determining instances of the component in the 5G system for the ZTP operations; distributing the ZTP payload to the first and second instances of the component in the 5G system to carry out the ZTP operations; determining one or more results of the ZTP operations; generating feedback information based on the one or more results of the ZTP operations.
