Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for utilizing a network identifier that is based on a media item. A computing device receives a network identifier for a network. The computing device detects that the network identifier is based on a media item and generates a user interface having information related to the media item.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate network page generation based on resource demands. A request for a network page is obtained at a server from a client. When the network page is to be generated by the client, network page generation code for generating the network page is sent to the client in response to the request and in place of the network page. The network page generation code includes code that obtains multiple data elements from the server. The network page generation code also includes code that generates a network page. The data elements are included within the network page. When the network page is to be locally generated, if the network page is static, loaded the network page from a data store and send to the client. If the network page is not static, generate the network page server-side, and send to the client.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments relating to the identification of events that occur within a media item. In one embodiment, among others, a media item is rendered for display on client devices. A plurality of messages are received from client devices, wherein each of the messages comprises a timestamp indicating a time relative to a media item. The existence of an event in the media item is determined based at least in part on a clustering of at least a subset of the messages received.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for a request monitoring application. Content identifiers are generated according to a known sequence or pattern. Requests for invalid content identifiers are logged. Response behavior to subsequent requests is modified when a number of requests from a source having invalid content identifiers meets a threshold.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for presenting collections of items related to subjects in a performance to viewers. The collections are assumed to be identified prior to the performance by individuals with knowledge of subjects expected to appear in the performance. The subject's appearance may be detected based on a user input indicating the appearance or by a subject recognition algorithm. The collections may be presented to a customer in a display also rendering the performance or in a separate display. The customer may select the collections and/or items therein for performing an action with the item, such as, for example purchasing the item.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a content item metric or a performer metric. The metric can assess a lasting value of a content item or performer by identifying a distribution of a population of users expressing an interest in the content item or performer according to a demographic attribute, such as age.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments relating to the identification of events that occur within a media item. A plurality of messages are received from client devices, wherein each of the messages comprises a timestamp indicating a time relative to a media item. The existence of an event in the media item is determined based at least in part on a clustering of at least a subset of the messages received. Points are awarded to a subset of users based at least in part upon the timestamp and the clustering of messages received.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for tracking, in at least one computing device, a presentation of a plurality of items for a user, each item being associated with at least one respective category of a plurality of categories, and determining a user histogram that is customized for a user. A visual symbol may be generated based at least upon the user histogram for each category, each visual symbol comprising a visual characteristic for associating the visual symbol to the category and a graphical dimension of the visual symbol, wherein the graphical dimension correlates with the respective degree of interest associated with the category. Each visual symbol may be appended to one another to form a graphic identifier and a user interface encoded for rendering, where the user interface comprises the graphic identifier.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate client-side network page generation. A request for a network page is obtained at a server from a client. When the network page is to be generated by the client, network page generation code for generating the network page is sent to the client in response to the request and in place of the network page. The network page generation code includes code that obtains multiple data elements from the server. The network page generation code also includes code that generates a network page. The data elements are included within the network page.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for associating and synchronizing extrinsic data with video content at particular points of time in the video content. A user interface is rendered that facilitates a selection from extrinsic data items that are associated with a video content feature that is currently being presented to a user. A user selection of a particular extrinsic data item is received through the user interface, and a time in the video content feature is determined corresponding to the user selection. An association is then generated between the particular extrinsic data item and the time in the video content feature.
