    Abstract: One or more servers may receive, from a first server, a first list of timeslots; receive, from a second server, a second list of timeslots; store the first list of timeslots and the second list of timeslots to form a shared list of timeslots; receive an update to the shared list of timeslots by the first server or by the second server; store the update to the shared list of timeslots; receive a first schedule from the first server; and receive a second schedule from the second server. The first server may generate the first schedule and the second server may generate the second schedule based on information stored by the shared list of timeslots. The one or more servers may provide a particular content file to a user device in accordance with information associated with the first schedule or the second schedule.

    Abstract translation: 一个或多个服务器可以从第一服务器接收时隙的第一列表; 从第二服务器接收第二时隙列表; 存储时隙的第一个列表和第二个时隙列表,形成时隙的共享列表; 由第一服务器或第二服务器接收对时隙的共享列表的更新; 将更新存储到时隙的共享列表中; 从第一台服务器接收第一个进度表; 并从第二台服务器接收第二个时间表。 第一服务器可以生成第一调度,并且第二服务器可以基于由时隙的共享列表存储的信息来生成第二调度。 一个或多个服务器可以根据与第一调度或第二调度相关联的信息将特定内容文件提供给用户设备。

    Abstract: Devices, methods, and storage media provide for identifying, by an ad insertion device, at least one prospect for inserting a selected ad via a set of hidden channels during a target programming timeslot based on ad schedules for a plurality of networks; determining based on hidden channel usage data for a programming timeslot corresponding to the target programming timeslot, that a likelihood of availability of at least one hidden channel of the set of hidden channels during the target programming timeslot exceeds a first threshold level; and sending an instruction to an interface device to insert the selected ad via the at least one hidden channel during the target programming timeslot.

    Abstract: Devices, methods, and storage media provide for receiving ad schedules for an upcoming programming timeslot for a network lineup; identifying an opportunity to insert a selected ad via a set of hidden channels during the upcoming programming timeslot based on the ad schedules; retrieving, based on the identifying, stored hidden channel usage data for previous programming timeslots that correspond to the upcoming programming timeslot; determining whether an availability likelihood of a hidden channel during the upcoming programming timeslot exceeds a threshold; retrieving, when the threshold is exceeded, ad insertion collision data for the previous programming timeslots; determining, based on the collision data, whether a likelihood of a collision occurring on the hidden channels during the upcoming programming timeslot exceeds another threshold; and sending, when the other threshold is not exceeded, an instruction to a user interface device to insert the selected ad via the hidden channel during the upcoming programming timeslot.

    Abstract: A device detects that a first user device is calling a second user device while the second user device is calling the first user device, and sends a notification to the first user device or the second user device indicating that the first user device and the second user device are calling one another. The device receives a response to the notification indicating that the first user device and the second user device are to be connected for a call, designates the first user device or the second user device as a call originator, and connects the first user device and the second user device for the call.

    Abstract translation: 当第二用户设备正在呼叫第一用户设备时,设备检测到第一用户设备正在呼叫第二用户设备,并且向第一用户设备或第二用户设备发送指示第一用户设备和第二用户的通知 设备正在呼叫对方。 设备接收到对通知的响应,指示第一用户设备和第二用户设备将被连接用于呼叫,将第一用户设备或第二用户设备指定为呼叫发起者,并且将第一用户设备和第二用户设备 用于呼叫的第二用户设备。
