    摘要: An electronic device and method for media content to be replaced other media content is disclosed. The method includes receiving first media content comprising a set of media content segments. The method includes receiving second media content comprising a first media content segment. The method includes receiving scheduling information identifying a second media content segment of the set of media content segments to be replaced with the first media content segment. The method includes determining that the first content feed is transmitted according to a first broadcast timing and that the second content feed is transmitted according to a second broadcast timing. The method includes syncing the first broadcast timing with the second broadcast timing. The method includes replacing the second media content segment with the first media content segment when the first content feed and the second content feed are synced.

    摘要: A method for a frame certainty metric for automatic content recognition. The method includes determining a frame match between media device frames of a media device stream relative to broadcast frames of a broadcast media stream and determining whether to shift the frame match by determining the following: a first frame certainty metric based on a first media device fingerprint and a target broadcast fingerprint; a second frame certainty metric based on a second media device fingerprint sequentially adjacent the first media device fingerprint and the target broadcast fingerprint; a third frame certainty metric based on a third media device fingerprint sequentially adjacent the first media device fingerprint and the target broadcast fingerprint; and a greatest frame certainty metric. The method further includes identifying the media device fingerprint corresponding to the greatest frame certainty metric as a target media device fingerprint matching the target broadcast fingerprint.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a method for determining viewer data from interactive overlays. The method includes receiving media content from a content feed. The media device includes a unique identifier (UID). The method also includes determining a media program associated with the received media content based on a fingerprint of the received media content. The method further includes overlaying interactive overlay content onto the media program of the media content in an overlay area. The overlay area corresponds to a spatial position within at least one frame of the media content. The method also includes receiving a feedback response from a viewer based on the interactive overlay content. The method further includes determining viewer information from the feedback response of the viewer. The method further includes associating the viewer information of the feedback response with the UID of the media device.

    摘要: Automatic content recognition (ACR) and media content encoding technologies are described. A content device can include a processing device and a capture interface. The processing device can be on a circuit board. A capture interface can be coupled to the processing device and include a data port. The processing device can be operable to execute a capture daemon. The capture daemon can include a capturer to receive media content from a content feed and generate content frames of the media content. The capture daemon can also include an encoder to receive the content frames from the capturer and encode the media content. The capture daemon can include an uploader to receive the encoded media content from the encoder and communicate the encoded media content to a broadcast sever. The capture daemon can also include an ACR fingerprinter to receive the content frames from the capturer and generate ACR fingerprint information.

    摘要: A method, graphical interface and computer-readable medium for generating a preview of a reformatted preview segment of a selected input file. A preview pane is displayed in a single window and includes preview controls including a file timeline indicator configured to graphically depict a length of a selected input file. Preview in and out markers are displayed and configured to define a preview segment of the selected input file. The preview segment is reformatted into a reformatted preview segment according to the reformatting process associated with the selected input file. The reformatted preview segment is displayed in the preview pane.

    摘要: A method for flagging advertisement frames for automatic content recognition is provided. The method includes receiving broadcast fingerprints indicative of broadcast frames of a media stream comprising a series of broadcast scenes. The method also includes receiving advertisement fingerprints indicative of ad frames of ad scenes. The method further includes determining a scene change between a first broadcast scene and a second broadcast scene. The scene change is based on a Pearson correlation coefficient between an initial broadcast fingerprint of an initial broadcast frame of the second broadcast scene and a last broadcast fingerprint of a last broadcast frame of the first broadcast scene. The method also further includes determining whether the second broadcast scene is one of the ad scenes. When the second broadcast scene is one of the ad scenes, the method associates an identification of the second broadcast scene as the one of the ad scenes.

    摘要: A system and method includes an automatic content recognition (ACR) headend to perform ACR recognition on a video stream that is also being streamed to a smart TV, to detect timing of an upcoming ad spot to be delivered within the video stream. An addressable TV (ATV) engine can be in communication with the ACR head end and to: determine, from data of an ad campaign, whether a first ad to be delivered to the ad spot is off target for the ad spot; notify the ad replacer client to replace the first ad with an addressable ad when the first ad is off target for the ad spot; and provide, to the ad replacer client, criteria with which to constrain an ad request to obtain a second ad that is on target for the ad spot.
