摘要： A method of generating matching metadata vectors for identifying content items in a store searchable by input vectors, the method comprising: receiving multiple training inputs, each training input comprising a content identifier indicative of a content item, and at least one natural language description of the content item; for each training input: converting the natural language description into at least one text component; generating at least one vector, each vector corresponding to one text component; generating a set of component parts for each vector, each component part corresponding to a coordinate initialized with a random value; adjusting each random coordinate based on the relationship of each component part to other vectors; determining a weighting for each vector with respect to the item; and defining a metadata vector for each item comprising the vectors containing the adjusted coordinates for that item and the weighting for each vector.

摘要： There is disclosed a technique for providing multimedia content comprising: compressing a multimedia stream; and generating an error correction model for providing an alternative version of the compressed multimedia stream by: decompressing the compressed multimedia stream; determining errors in the decompressed version by comparing to the input multimedia stream; and correcting the errors to minimise the difference between the decompressed version and the input multimedia stream.

摘要： Digital signage system control is provided by delivering media content from a digital signage system to display devices. A terminal's display of a custom channel producer may be controlled to display media asset options. The selection by the custom channel producer of media assets is detectable based on selection of displayed media asset options of media assets. The selected media assets are stored in a media store external to the system. The media store stores media assets that are deliverable to a viewing device responsive to a viewer's selection of the viewing device. The display parameters of further media asset stored in a media store external to the system may be validated and selected by the custom channel producer to produce a custom channel that includes the selected media assets with further media assets that are dependent on the display parameters. The custom channel is deliverable to the display devices.

摘要： A content delivery system delivers media content to a content consuming user and comprises computer storage storing a media asset; an analysis component configured to perform an analysis of the user's behavior at a user device to infer a desirable attribute of a modified version of the media asset, the user's behavior comprising the user instigating at the user device requests for content other than the media asset to a computer network, and consuming the requested other content when returned from the network. The requests do not explicitly identify the desirable attribute. The system comprises a modified version generation component configured to receive the media asset and modify the media asset based on the analysis of the user's behavior; and a content delivery component configured to supply the modified version of the media asset to a media output device of the user, the modified version exhibiting the desirable attribute.

摘要： In some embodiments a content delivery system for controlling media content provided by at least one media device for media consumption by at least one consumer is described. In an embodiment the system comprises at least one sensor for sensing body data of the at least one consumer, a receiver for receiving sensed body data from the sensor, a data store storing media content for selection, at least one media device for outputting said selected content to said at least one consumer, and at least one processor configured to query said data store and control the selection of said media content based at least in part on the sensed body data, and control the output of said selected media content to said at least one media device. The sensed body data may indicate the mood or emotional state of the consumer.
