Abstract: Systems and methods for providing targeted advertising to media display devices that may be located away from a user premises based on user preferences. A computing system may detect presence of multiple user devices within a proximity of the computing system, and a user profile associated with each particular user device may then be accessed. A net demographic profile associated with the multiple user devices may be determined, and then advertising content may be selected for presentation by a display device based upon the net demographic profile.

Abstract: An automated test platform is disclosed for use in developing and troubleshooting customized software for multimedia content receivers. The automated test platform allows developers to script test cases that permit interaction with multiple content receivers at the same time. The test platform can be applied generally to any client-server system. The automated test platform is used to create scripts, run the scripts on multiple content receivers, and view test results. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided that allows technicians without any programming experience to build and run complex interactive test sequences in a modular fashion. Such an automated test platform can be used to test cable and satellite television set top boxes, as well as DVD players, streaming media receivers, and game consoles.

Abstract: A video services receiver and related operating methods are disclosed here. In accordance with one disclosed methodology, the video services receiver receives a segment of video content, and processes a plurality of contiguous sub-segments of the segment of video content to generate a corresponding plurality of characterizing signatures. Each of the characterizing signatures identifies a respective one of the contiguous sub-segments. The video services receiver compares the characterizing signatures to video content signatures maintained in a database. When the results of the comparing satisfy predetermined matching criteria, the video services receiver initiates an operation that influences presentation attributes of the segment of video content.

Abstract translation: 这里公开了视频服务接收器和相关的操作方法。 根据一个公开的方法，视频服务接收器接收视频内容的一部分，并且处理视频内容片段的多个连续的子片段以生成相应的多个表征签名。 每个特征签名标识相邻的一个连续的子段。 视频服务接收器将特征签名与维护在数据库中的视频内容签名进行比较。 当比较结果满足预定的匹配标准时，视频服务接收器启动影响视频内容片段的呈现属性的操作。
