Abstract: Provided is a system that identifies a tag in a media content of a media stream based on a user-attribute of a client device. A candidate time-period is identified in a playback duration of the media content based on the identified tag in the media content. Based on a degree of correlation between the identified tag in the media content and a corresponding context for the media content at the candidate time-period, an overlay-graphic item corresponding to the identified tag is presented at the candidate time-period in the media content.

Abstract: A system is provided that publishes a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. The system generates an updated schedule based on a low-latency preview of a live input stream. The system further generates a disparate live media output stream manifest based on manipulation of manifests of the live input stream and a pre-encoded media asset based on the updated schedule.

Abstract: A system is provided that determines a media item for an insertion in a first media feed of a first channel based on a pre-encoded media content, metadata related to the pre-encoded media content, and audience-based parameters. The audience-based parameters comprise demographics data, targeted audience data, device type data, and trending information that includes media items based on current trend in a social network platform. Each media segment of the pre-encoded media content corresponds to a different quality level and content encryption mode. A second channel is generated from the first channel based on the audience-based parameters, the media item inserted in the first media feed, and a second programming schedule. The second programming schedule corresponds to a modified first programming schedule based on the audience-based parameters. Based on at least the media item, the second media feed of the second channel is generated for distribution to a consumer device.

Abstract: A system is provided that determines a media item for an insertion in a first media feed of a first channel based on at least a pre-encoded media content, metadata related to the pre-encoded media content, and audience-based parameters. The audience-based parameters include content recognition-based information that corresponds to a live feed of one of a plurality of channels. Each of a plurality of media segments of the pre-encoded media content corresponds to a different quality level and content encryption mode. Based on the audience-based parameters, the media item inserted in the first media feed, and a second programming schedule, a second channel is generated from the first channel. The second programming schedule corresponds to a modified first programming schedule based on the content recognition-based information. Based on at least the media item, a second media feed of the second channel is generated for distribution to a consumer device.

Abstract: An example method for providing an interactive advertisement in association with a media presentation comprises storing a commercial identifier in association with an interactive advertisement identifying a commercial associated with the interactive advertisement. The interactive advertisement is associated with interactive advertisement data comprising a related content identifier identifying a related content object. Before a commercial segment begins, a list of commercials to be provided during the commercial segment is received comprising the commercial identifier. After determining that the commercial associated with the interactive advertisement is to be provided during the commercial segment and responsive to determining that the commercial segment is eligible for hosting the interactive advertisement, providing at least a portion of the interactive advertisement data, the portion of the interactive advertisement data configured to provide access to the related content object. The commercial and access to the related content object are provided for simultaneous display.

Abstract: A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes media segments corresponding to key events. A live production and playout system of disparate sub-systems is synchronized to a reference clock. A timecode from the reference clock is used as a reference time to log content related to key events that occur within the live production and playout system. A live event logging system is synchronized to the reference clock same as the live production and playout system. Based on location of the live event logging system, a time offset is introduced to compensate for a delay. When delay is variable, the reference clock is decoded from a live input stream to associate each key event with a corresponding timecode. Based on a programming schedule comprising the key events that occurred in the live input stream, the disparate live media output stream manifest is published.

Abstract: A system is provided for concurrent presentation of non-programming media assets with programming media content at a client device. The client device receives a response for occurrence of an event opportunity point from the media presentation and distribution system based on a selection criteria for the event opportunity point. A display view of the client device is modified, and a non-programming media asset is presented from a second media stream for a defined duration and different version of the programming media content in first partition, concurrently with the programming media content over second partition. The different version of the programming media content corresponds to the programming media content encoded based on a region within the modified display view allocated to the first partition. The presentation is based on user preference for specific item in the programming media content and user selection of the non-programming media asset displayed in past engagement.

Abstract: A cross-platform management system that handles cross-platform management of client requirements receives a request corresponding to a plurality of client-defined requirements to be achieved in a flight. The request for the plurality of client-defined requirements is associated with request parameters. The system generates a proposal plan corresponding to the received request based on adjustment of the one or more request parameters. The proposal plan corresponds to a distribution of target audience across a set of delivery platforms. The system executes the generated proposal plan for a first time period in the flight on one or more delivery platforms. The system re-optimizes the generated proposal plan and controls execution of the generated proposal plan for a second time period in the flight by an in-flight re-distribution of the target audience across one or more delivery platforms of the set of delivery platforms.

Abstract: A system is provided that receives a request based on a detection of at least one of digital fingerprints and digital watermarks in media content. The system searches for one of fingerprint information or watermark information in a registry for the at least one of the digital watermarks or the digital fingerprints in the media content, based on analysis of at least one of a context, a user preference, or a defined goal of different segments in programming media content and non-programming media content of the media content. The fingerprint information or the watermark information enables the first processor to keep track of a user engagement with the media content. The fingerprint information or the watermark information is transmitted to a client device. Delivery of a service is enabled by a second processor of the client device via a fulfilment server to perform an action on the non-programming media content.

Abstract: A system is provided that determines reserve inventory units required for each promotional campaign. Based on one of input parameters to meet defined parameters for defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until end of a specified upcoming time-frame, inventory units are allocated from defined amount of inventory units among each inventory utilization type. Incremental value of revenue from each inventory utilization type is optimized and ratings for previously allocated inventory units assigned to a promotion inventory utilization type is increased. Previously allocated inventory units are periodically adjusted and re-distributed among each inventory utilization type based on difference in demand value of an estimated inventory units forecasted for upcoming specified duration and actual value of the inventory units for current duration. Based on remaining inventory units and each inventory utilization type, schedule of a channel is communicated to a user device, via a network.
