    摘要: A method includes comparing each textless video clip to a plurality of portions of the video file corresponding to the full length video file; determining each textless video clip being similar to only one portion of the video file as being a matched pair; for each matched pair identifying if their text content is different, wherein identification of a different text content dictates that the textless video clip corresponds to a portion of the video file having overlaid text; training a classifier to predict whether an area of text detected in the full length video is overlaid text; determining the probability of each portion of the full-length video having overlaid text; determining each textless video clip being similar to more than one portion of the video file as being a potential matched pair; and resolving the potential matched pairs with the determined probability.

    摘要: A method of playing media content including an advertising period at a playback device. The method includes: storing the media content in the playback device for playback to a user of the playback device; storing an indication of the playback time of the advertising period relative to the playback time of the media content; storing a plurality of candidate adverts for playing in the adverting period of the media content; playing the stored media content to the user; identifying, on playing of the stored media content, a point in time corresponding to the playback time of the advertising period; applying, responsive thereto, playback rules to determine an advert to be played from the candidate adverts; and playing the determined advert at the playback time of the advertising period.

    摘要: A method of generating matching metadata vectors for identifying content items in a store searchable by input vectors, the method comprising: receiving multiple training inputs, each training input comprising a content identifier indicative of a content item, and at least one natural language description of the content item; for each training input: converting the natural language description into at least one text component; generating at least one vector, each vector corresponding to one text component; generating a set of component parts for each vector, each component part corresponding to a coordinate initialized with a random value; adjusting each random coordinate based on the relationship of each component part to other vectors; determining a weighting for each vector with respect to the item; and defining a metadata vector for each item comprising the vectors containing the adjusted coordinates for that item and the weighting for each vector.

    摘要: There is disclosed a computer system for analysing content, comprising: a detection module connected to receive at least one piece of digital content, the detection module being operable to access a set of compliance rules and compare the received at least one piece of digital content with the set of compliance rules, the detection module further being configured to generate an alert if the result of the analysis indicates a breach of at least one of the rules; a moderator module connected to receive the alert, the moderator module configured to enable output to a moderator based only on the piece of digital content which caused the alert to be generated, whereby the moderator can assess a modification to be made to the piece of content which caused the alert to be generated.

    摘要: A computer implemented method for detecting user engagement with auxiliary content consumed by a user at a viewing device, the method comprising, at the viewing device generating requests for auxiliary content associated with media content selected by the user to be consumed; receiving auxiliary content from an auxiliary content store and playing out the auxiliary content to the user; displaying at least one user engagement element associated with the auxiliary content, the user engagement element defining an expected user activity; generating user engagement data based on the engagement of a user with the user engagement element in accordance with the expected user activity, and formulating a message to be transmitted to an auxiliary content controller, the messaging including a user identifier and the user engagement data.

    摘要: There is disclosed a technique of associating device activity to a broadcast programme, comprising: receiving a model for a broadcast programme identifying portions of content and portions of breaks in the content; monitoring, via a client software module running on users' mobile devices, said device's active or inactive states; receiving an activity stream of a user device; comparing the activity stream to the model of the broadcast programme to identify a correlation between them; inferring a user of the user device as watching the broadcast programme based on a level of the correlation.

    摘要: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of triggering an instance of companion software to perform an expected action related to a piece of media content during a delivery of that media content by a media device to a content consuming user, the method comprising: the instance of the companion software receiving a synchronization signal transmitted when, in delivering the media content, the media device reaches a reference point in the media content, wherein the synchronisation signal conveys a time instant of that reference point; measuring a current elapsed time from the time instant of the reference point; accessing computer storage holding an association of the expected action with a time instant of a trigger point in the media content; and triggering the expected action when the current elapsed time substantially matches the time instant of the trigger point.
