Abstract: A method for replacing audio data within a recorded audio/video stream is presented. In the method, a first audio/video stream including audio data, video data, and supplemental data is stored. Location information is received which references the supplemental data to identify a location within the first audio/video stream. The location information is received in a data file separately from the first audio/video stream. Also received is an audio data segment. At least a portion of the audio data of the first audio/video stream is replaced at the identified location with the audio data segment to produce a second audio/video stream. At least a portion of the second audio/video stream is then transferred for presentation.

Abstract: A method for providing a unique remote experience of a live event includes receiving in near real time at a headend processing system from a control center at an event location raw media data captured at a live event occurring at the event location. Copies of the raw media data from the headend processing system are disseminated in near real time to a plurality of server nodes of a geographically distributed content delivery network connected together via communication network. The raw media data is processed to produce one or more customized presentations of the live event in the form of streaming audio/video (A/V) files of one or more subsets of the raw media data pursuant to one or more data structures corresponding, respectively, to one or more subscriber accounts. The streaming A/V files are transmitted over a communication network to one or more respective subscriber presentation devices.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for provisioning services to a hospitality user in a hospitality establishment are provided. An example method includes creating a user profile for the hospitality user. The user profile includes a user ID and user credential, service type data and user preference data pertaining to a service. The method further includes receiving a request for authentication from a wireless device associated with the hospitality user and connected to a wireless network of the hospitality establishment. The request includes a user-provided credential. The method further includes performing a cloud-based authentication process to determine an authentication status of the hospitality user, sending the authentication status of the hospitality user to a hospitality property management system (PMS) of the hospitality establishment, determining a user registration status of the hospitality user, and providing access to the wireless network to the wireless device, based on the user registration status.

Abstract: Methods, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate streaming in a local network with a client-server architecture are disclosed. A primary media device may be configured to: operate as a server in a local network, receive first audio/video (A/V) content via an Internet connection, and receive second A/V content via a satellite network connection. Each secondary media device of a set of one or more secondary media devices may be configured to: operate as a client with respect to the primary media device in the local network, receive the first A/V content from the primary media device, receive the second A/V content from the primary media device, and provide the first A/V content and the second A/V content to at least one television of a set of one or more televisions.

Abstract: A computer network security manager device connects to a first wireless router and then connects to a plurality of devices (e.g., a plurality of IoT devices). The computer network security manager device then performs device agnostic activation of the plurality of devices to enable the plurality of devices to perform respective functions of each device. The security manager device prevents the plurality of devices from connecting directly to the first wireless router and only allows other devices on the Internet to communicate with the plurality of devices according to specific firewall rules. In response to receiving an indication that the first wireless router to which the network security manager device is connected is out of service or no longer exists, the network security manager device prevents other devices on the Internet from being able to communicate with the plurality of devices.

Abstract: It may occur that various addressable ads are used to help fill an entire addressable break which have little or no monetary value for being played (often referred to as “evergreen or “filler” ads). Such ads and other types of candidate ads for replacement are replaced in real time with programmatically delivered Internet Protocol (IP) based ads (IP ads). Upon encountering an indication of an upcoming ad break including one or more evergreen ads in an addressable ad playlist, an ad request may be automatically transmitted that puts those evergreen ad spots up for bidding by various advertisers, and then such ads may be replaced by IP ads that in total have a duration equaling the duration of the evergreen ads being replaced and that are based on, among other things, a user's or household's receiving device location, a current channel a particular receiving device at that location is tuned to, a particular program that is playing on that channel, a genre of the program, individual user and/or household demographics including, but not limited to: age category, marital status, income range, gender, education level, occupation, and number of people in the household, etc. The selected IP ad(s) are then, in real time, seamlessly inserted or “stitched”, as described herein, into a media content stream comprising or consisting of the television programming (e.g., live linear satellite (SAT) stream) or other media content stream.

Abstract: System and method for utilizing a machine learning mechanism to train a category-determination model that is used to predict a category of a website for selecting secondary content for the website. A secondary content request is received for a target website being presented to a user. The category-determination model is employed to determine a category for the target website. A plurality of top shows is then selected for the category, from which a specific show is selected. The secondary content is selected for the target website based on the selected show. And the selected secondary content is presented to the user via the target website.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for selecting a redundant network source at a gateway. The system can include a gateway with the ability to support combining multiple network sources to increase the network speed or bandwidth from the gateway or selecting a redundant network source to increase the network speed or bandwidth for a particular application. The system can increase the network speed by adding a second network source for a particular application (e.g., video steaming, video call, etc.) or an application requiring lower latency than the current network source provides. The additional network source can send all the data packet traffic of the application or the application's traffic is split between the additional network source and the current network source of the gateway.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are provided to facilitate content receiver control for particularized output of content items based on intra-content metrics. Observation data, corresponding to indications of detected content receiver operations associated with a content receiver and mapped to a first set of content items, may be processed. A first set of intra-content metrics may be detected. An audiovisual pattern of intra-content metrics may be mapped based on correlating the set of observation data with the first set of intra-content metrics. A second set of content items may be processed to detect a second set of intra-content metrics. A subset of the second set of content items may be selected based on a visual category and/or an audio category of the audiovisual pattern of intra-content metrics. The subset may be specified to cause a content receiver to modify operations to record and/or output content corresponding to the subset.
