    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining outcomes for promotional messages presented to viewers using digital on-screen graphics are described. A service provider may present digital on-screen graphics on content presentation devices, which may be detected by an outcome management system. The digital on-screen graphic may be displayed in association with a primary content offering, such as a television program. The outcome management system may monitor content presentation devices, including those exposed to the digital on-screen graphic, to determine the effectiveness of the digital on-screen graphic. For instance, the outcome management system may determine whether content presentation devices exposed to the digital on-screen graphic subsequently accessed a content offering promoted therein.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for managing content presentation information associated with the distribution of content assets to content presentation devices are generally described. A presentation information management system may be configured to verify whether a content asset was presented via a content presentation device according to a distribution plan. In some embodiments, the management system may be configured to generate a content identifier for each content asset accessed by the management system and to receive presentation information when the content asset is presented through a content presentation device. The content identifier may be configured to allow the content asset to be recognized within the management system, such as at the content presentation device, when the content asset is presented at the content presentation device.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for packaging media and data for transmission over a broadband communications network link for display at a terminal destination. Features of the method included creating desired media segments for transmission to the terminal destination and for creating targeting information, for example in whole or in part in the form of metadata, for transmission to the terminal destination. Other features include packaging the created media segments and the created targeting information in a single package and unpacking the single package for display of the targeted media at the terminal destination. In another aspect, the invention can provide a method for unpacking media and data for display at a terminal destination implementing, at the terminal destination, receiving a single package containing media segments and instructions regarding handling of the media segments, quickly unpacking the media segments and the instructions from the single package and, based on the unpacked instructions, assembling one or more of the media segments for display at the terminal destination.

    Abstract: A method of preparing data streams to facilitate seamless switching between such streams by a switching device to produce an output data stream without any switching artifacts. Bi-directional switching between any plurality of data streams is supported. The data streams are divided into segments, wherein the segments include synchronized starting points and end points. The data rate is increased before an end point of a segment, to create switch gaps between the segments. Increasing the data rate can include increasing a bandwidth of the plurality of data streams, for example by multiplexing, or compressing the data.The present invention can be used, for example, with MPEG or AC-3 encoded audio and MPEG encoded video segments that are multiplexed into MPEG-2 transport streams.Also included are specific methods for preparing MPEG video streams and multiplexing MPEG video with MPEG or AC-3 audio streams to allow a receiver to create seamless transitions between individually encoded segments.

    Abstract translation: 一种准备数据流以促进切换装置在这种流之间无缝切换以产生输出数据流而不产生任何切换伪影的方法。 支持任意多个数据流之间的双向切换。 数据流被分成段,其中段包括同步的起点和终点。 数据速率在段的终点之前增加,以在段之间创建交换机间隙。 增加数据速率可以包括例如通过复用或压缩数据来增加多个数据流的带宽。 本发明可以用于例如MPEG-3编码的MPEG-2编码视频片段,其被复用到MPEG-2传输流中。 还包括用于准备MPEG视频流和用MPEG或AC-3音频流复用MPEG视频的特定方法,以允许接收机在单独编码的段之间创建无缝转换。
