    Abstract: Devices, systems and processes for providing local alerts to users via non-local channels are described. A process may include receiving, by a content distributor system, an alert message. The alert message includes a first alert condition and a second alert condition. The first alert condition and the second alert condition are identified in the alert message, and an alert notice is generated, based on the identified alert conditions, and transmitted to a user device coupled to the content distributor system. The first alert condition specifies an alert type. The second alert condition specifies a time period. The alert message may include a third alert condition specifying an action for a user of the user device to take or refrain from taking during the time period and the alert notice may identify the action. The alert message may include a target condition and the alert notice identifies actions to be performed.

    Abstract: A system for road accident avoidance receives sensor data from computing devices associated with vehicles traveling on a road. The system communicates the sensor data to a blockchain network as blockchain records. The system determines that the sensor data includes an indication of a road accident. The system determines a location of the road accident from the sensor data. The system communicates, to the blockchain ledger, data that indicates the location of the road accident. The system identifies one or more vehicles within a threshold distance of the road accident that are traveling toward the road accident. The system communicates an alert signal that comprises the location of the road accident to each vehicle. The system determines a routing recommendation for each vehicle based on the location of the vehicle and the location of the road accident. The system communicates the routing recommendation to the vehicle.

    Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility that can be used by content owners to assert ownership of content so that copyright friendly websites and services can take action against copyright piracy effectively, efficiently and is scalable is disclosed. The facility makes available to all content owners watermarking/fingerprinting technology so an identifier (e.g., a unique code) can be embedded in the content (e.g., video/audio portion of each video content asset). The facility utilizes blockchain technology to add information related to each unique identifier in a database and allows an authorized user (e.g., the owner) to update the information through a blockchain transaction.

    Abstract: A method for casting to multiple wireless speakers, the method including: receiving at a casting device a request from a user device to cast audio signals to multiple wireless speakers, wherein the audio signals include multiple channels; sending an inquiry request; receiving responses to the inquiry request from multiple wireless speakers; connecting to a plurality of speakers from the multiple wireless speakers; sending test signals to each of the plurality of speakers; receiving information from a microphone for each of the one or more test signals output from each of the plurality of speakers, wherein the microphone is a component of a remote control associated with the casting device; selecting one or more of the multiple channels to send to each of the plurality of speakers based on the received information; and sending the corresponding selected one or more of the multiple channels to each of the plurality of speakers.

    Abstract: Systems, media devices, machine-readable media, and methods facilitate content adaptation to endpoints. First content that includes audio content and video content may be received. An adaptation protocol may be detected as applying to the first content based at least in part on one or more of a destination specification and/or an endpoint specification identified for the first content. The first content may be analyzed based at least in part on the adaptation protocol. A portion of the first content that has a content characteristic specified by the adaptation protocol may be determined. A set of rules governing content modification in accordance with the adaptation protocol may be identified. The first content may be modified in accordance with the adaptation protocol and the set of rules. The modified first content may be transferred so that the modified first content is accessible with an endpoint media device.

    Abstract: A television service provider system includes interactive elements embedded within advertisements or other content related to a particular product or service that a user may select to receive an initially non-redeemable coupon for the product. The system then electronically communicates to the seller or advertiser system the indications of such electronic interactivity between the viewers of content and content related to the product being sold or advertised. The advertiser or seller may then electronically activate and thus convert the non-redeemable coupon into a redeemable coupon. A system for processing retail transactions redeems the coupons for the product for a particular user using an identifier of the user associated with the account of the user with the television service provider.

    Abstract: Devices, systems and process for facilitating a user choice watch party (DFWP) are disclosed. A system includes server that includes computer instructions which instruct the server to initiate a user choice watch party (UCWP), receive a request to designate a first user device, from a set of user devices, as a primary user choice user device (PUCUD), query the set of user devices for devices to participate in the UCWP as secondary user choice user devices (SUCUD), generating a user choice interface (UCI), retrieving two or more user choice primary content (UCPC) options, instructing the PUCUD and the SUCUDs to output to respective users the UCPC options, receiving at least two user choices, determining, based on the user choices and from the two more UCPC options, a selection result indicating a chosen UCPC option to present during the UCWP, and presenting the chosen UCPC during the UCWP.

    Abstract: A gateway device is disclosed that includes a user key; a transceiver to communicate data over a network and with a set top box; and a processor configured for: receiving a protected secure key from a content provider; receiving an encrypted control word key from the content provider. The encrypted control word key is encrypted with a secure key and, once the encrypted control word key is decrypted, the decrypted control word key decrypts an encrypted digital content that is sent to a set top box; retrieving the user key from the memory of the gateway device; using the user key to decrypt the protected secure key to obtain a decrypted secure key; using the decrypted secure key to decrypt the encrypted control word key to obtain the decrypted control word key; and transmitting the decrypted control word key to the set top box for decrypting the encrypted digital content.
