摘要： Provided are a system and method for media content rights transferal based on protocol for management of media content rights using distributed media rights transaction ledger. One of first gateway node or first node of plurality of nodes, associated with one of first or second initiating participant, respectively, receives request or determine need for media content rights transferal of media content. Associated instance of distributed media rights transaction ledger is traversed, address of one of second node or second gateway node associated with identifier of one of a first or a second receiving participant is determined, initial media content rights transaction is issued, and new media content rights response transaction is received. Accordingly, media content rights transferal transaction is executed. Each instance of distributed media rights transaction ledger is appended with initial media content rights transaction, new media content rights response transaction, and media content rights transferal transaction.

摘要： A media presentation and distribution system (MPDS) that handles rules-based presentation of non-programming media items, receives a user request (which includes user parameters) for delivery of programming media content at a first client device and transmits a media stream that includes the programming media content with a plurality of identifiers present with the programming media content. The MPDS further receives a request that includes one or more user preferences from the first client device, based on a detection of the plurality of identifiers. The MPDS further determines a set of non-programming media items for delivery to the first client device. The MPDS further controls presentation of a part of the media stream on a second client device that is paired with the first client device based on a movement of the second client device in a communication range of the second client device with the first client device.

摘要： A system is provided for establishing a shared media session for client devices that receives event data and media corresponding to a shared media session and previous shared media sessions from a recording client device communicably coupled to a distributed communication network. A persistent record of the event data and media is generated until the shared media session is terminated by at least one of a first client device or by abandonment of the distributed communication network by the first client device and by second client devices. A new disparate live media output stream is generated with multiple distinct channels based on augmentation of a disparate live media output stream in the shared media session. The augmentation is based on an interaction from a user on actions in the shared media session.

摘要： A media presentation and distribution system communicatively coupled to a client device, which handles enablement of a client-side dynamic presentation of at least one non-programming media asset along with programming media content. The client device receives a first media stream of the programming media content in response to a request, associated with at least one user preference for the programming media content, to the media presentation and distribution system. The client device identifies at least one tag in the programming media content and transmits at least one event opportunity point for selection to the media presentation distribution system. Based on the selection, the client device modifies a display view of the client device for a defined duration, and presents the at least one non-programming media asset, from a second media stream for the defined duration, concurrently with the programming media content over the modified display view of the client device.

摘要： A media presentation and distribution system includes a verification server that handles dynamic verification of playback of media assets on a client device. The client device receives an asset stream of media assets that comprises one or more tags embedded in the media assets. The client device detects an asset identifier associated with each of the media assets during playback of each media asset on the client device, based on identification of a tag of the one or more tags. The verification server verifies the playback of the media assets on the client device based on received support information from the client device. The playback of the media assets are verified to satisfy defined asset delivery criteria and to identify and debug a deviation or one or more errors with the playback of the media assets.

摘要： A media presentation and distribution system (MPDS) communicatively coupled to a client device, which handles media content distribution via a content delivery network, to a client device associated with a user: identifies candidate time intervals in programming media content played at the client device based on at least a request received from the client device. The MPDS retrieves media content from a media store in the MPDS. The media content is retrieved based on at least one of the user intent information and a plurality of targeting parameters associated with the user. The MPDS dynamically generates personalized media content that corresponds to the candidate time intervals in the programming media content and further instructs playback of the dynamically generated personalized media content at the identified candidate time intervals based on the specified version of the programming media content played at the client device.

摘要： Provided are a system and method for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes one or more media segments corresponding to key events. The system comprises one or more processors that generate a programming schedule, based on a synchronization of one or more disparate sub-systems in the system, includes one or more key events that occurred from a starting point until a current live point in a live input stream. Further, a reference clock provides a reference time to synchronize the one or more disparate sub-systems. Based on the programming schedule, one or more processors insert the current live point and one or more media segments corresponding to the one or more key events that occurred prior to the current live point included in a live input stream manifest into a disparate live media output stream manifest, which is further published based on the insertion.

摘要： A system generates disparate live output stream manifests. For a disparate live media output stream manifest generated based on a first live input stream, programming schedules and/or events in a first live input stream manifest are identified. Based on a transition due to the identification, a second live input stream manifest and/or a pre-encoded media asset manifest is inserted in the disparate live output stream manifest. For the disparate live media output stream manifest s generated based on a first pre-encoded media asset, the programming schedules and/or the events in a first pre-encoded media asset manifest, and/or events in the second live input stream manifest defined in the programming schedules are identified. Based on another transition due to the identified events, a second pre-encoded media asset manifest and/or a live input stream manifest is inserted in the disparate live output stream manifest. The disparate live output stream manifest is published.

摘要： Media content items is provided to content consumers for playback and consumption includes plurality of nodes interacting with each other in accordance with defined protocol in communication network. A first node receives a request for playback of a media content from a content consumer. A second node owns the requested media content and provides media content rights to the first participant and/or the content consumer. The first node further provides media content metadata to the consumer device for consumption. A plurality of instances of a distributed media rights transaction ledger, associated with respective node, includes a plurality of media content rights transactions corresponding to an acquisition of the media content rights by the first participant and/or content consumer prior to the consumption of the media content. The plurality of media content rights transactions is categorized, defined, and managed by plurality of nodes in accordance with the defined protocol.
