摘要： A method provides content decisions for a personalized channel that is to be deliverable to a prescribed set of client devices as a linear channel streaming adaptive bit rate (ABR) video. In the method, a request is received for a content asset to be inserted in the linear video stream at a specified time. The linear video stream is to be presented on the personalized channel. Responsive to the request, a network location is provided for accessing a specified content asset to be inserted in the linear video stream at the specified time.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed that allow for providing targeted asset/advertisements for broadcast-wide programming feeds. The systems and methods allow network platforms to select among asset options provided with a content stream and/or replace assets in the content stream. In one arrangement, after selecting an asset, the asset is inserted into the content stream and the content stream is disseminated to subsequent network platforms (e.g., local platforms). At this time, the local platforms may insert local assets into the content stream in predetermined local asset insertion spots.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for selectively enforcing required insertion or viewing of secondary content, such as advertisements or promotions, in a content distribution network. In one embodiment, the network is a managed network (e.g., cable television, satellite, or the like), and the method includes identifying secondary content with a particular attribute or property (e.g., an advertisement that a user has watched before), and selectively enabling one or more “trick mode” functions relating to that secondary content. In one implementation, audio codes or watermarks are inserted into the secondary content and detected when the content is accessed or rendered; if the detected content matches a database or listing of previously played content for that user or premises, the trick mode functionality (e.g., FF or “skip”) is enabled, thereby allowing the user to bypass the content.

摘要： An apparatus and a method by which a content such as an advertisement corresponding to a user at the reception apparatus side can be selectively outputted to the reception apparatus are provided. A transmission apparatus transmits signaling data (MPD) having a user information setting region, a control information file capable of being accessed or generated applying user information-set data generated by a process for the MPD, and a user information-corresponding advertisement capable of being acquired and reproduced on the basis of description data of the control information file. The reception apparatus sets user information to the user information setting region of the MPD, applies the generated user information-set data to acquire a control information file of a user information-corresponding advertisement, applies the description data of the acquired control information file to acquire the user information-corresponding advertisement, and outputs the user information-corresponding advertisement.

摘要： The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and machine-readable media for concurrent communication. One method includes displaying an interactive application on a first device of a user during a break in an entertainment segment displayed on a second device, sending a request for interaction from the user through the interactive application, pausing the interactive application when the break in the entertainment segment is over, and notifying the user when an additional break begins so the user can commence interacting with the interactive application.

摘要： Television is the largest advertising category in the United States with over 65 billion spent by advertisers per year. A variety of different targeting algorithms are compared, ranging from the traditional age-gender targeting methods employed based on Nielsen ratings, to new approaches that attempt to target high probability buyers using Set Top Box data. The performance of these different algorithms on a real television campaign is shown, and the advantages and limitations of each method are discussed. In contrast to other theoretical work, all methods presented herein are compatible with targeting the existing 115 million Television households in the United States and are implementable on current television delivery systems.
