摘要： A broadcast response system provides, e.g., a radio broadcast listener with the ability to obtain media content such as music or speech while listening to the radio. The user can respond to items in the radio broadcast such as advertisements, fund raising drives, or interactive listener polls during the broadcast. Data such as song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored, can be transmitted using, e.g., the RBDS/RDS data stream. A reference number representing song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored can also be employed for ease of implementation. This reference number can reside in a lookup table to be accessed by broadcast response server.

摘要： In various embodiments, an audio streaming service may provide a plurality of channels. On a particular channel, different types of content can be streamed to audio devices connected to that channel, including channel content, group content, and individual content. Channel content refers to same content that is streamed to all of the audio devices that are connected to the channel. Group channel refers to content that is selected for subgroups of the devices, and individual content refers to content that is selected for an individual device. Channel content may be transmitted to all the devices, then a period of group or individual content is provided, and then the devices are synced back into receiving the same channel content during a syncing window. Listeners can also interact with the content, such as skipping songs or adding songs to their personal collection.

摘要： A camera selection system and method for automatically selecting an appropriate camera to use for capturing photos and videos is provided. The method includes the steps of detecting that a camera application has been opened, activating a first camera and a second camera of the mobile device, analyzing a feed received from the first camera and a feed received from the second camera to detect whether a face is present in a field of view of the first camera or the second camera, determining that the user intends to use the first camera based on a detection of the face in the field of view of the first camera, deactivating the second camera in response to the determining and displaying the feed received from the first camera on the main display of the mobile device for viewing by the user while using the camera application.

摘要： Example systems and methods to determine media effectiveness are disclosed. An example system includes a synchronizer to time shift first neuro-response data gathered from an audience member exposed to media a first amount to align the first neuro-response data with second neuro-response data simultaneously gathered from the audience member to form aligned data, the first neuro-response data representing a first response to a first sensory component of the media and the second neuro-response data representing a second response to a second sensory component of media. The synchronizer is to time shift the second neuro-response data a second amount. The first amount is based on a first cognitive delay of a brain of the audience member and the second amount is based on a second cognitive delay of the brain. The example system includes an analyzer to determine an effectiveness of the media based on the aligned data.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for providing content presentation elements in conjunction with a media content item. In one implementation, a processing device receives a request for a media content item. The processing device identifies one or more elements of a content presentation context associated with the request. The processing device provides, in response to the request, at least one of the one or more elements of the content presentation context in conjunction with the media content item.
