Abstract: Systems and methods for updating advertisements embedded in a media asset scheduled for download at a future time. The media guidance application may receive a request from a user to download a media asset at a future time, where the media asset includes a plurality of embedded advertisements. The media guidance application may determine whether to update an embedded advertisement in the plurality of embedded advertisements. After determining to update the embedded advertisement, the media guidance application may replace the embedded advertisement with an updated advertisement in the media asset.

Abstract: Techniques for synchronized interleaved watermarking are described. In various embodiments, a headend provisions control words (CWs), generates entitlement control messages (ECMs) for producing the CWs, where each of the ECMs is associated with a watermark identifier (WMID) symbol index assigned to a watermark cryptoperiod, moves portion(s) from a video stream to auxiliary streams, generates versions of the portion(s) to embed watermark symbols within the watermark cryptoperiod, where each version represents a respective watermark symbol, and encrypts the versions using the CWs at start of the watermark cryptoperiod. On the client side, a client device storing a WMID obtains the video and encrypted auxiliary streams and the ECMs referencing the WMID symbol index and selects and decrypts an auxiliary stream using a CW during the watermark cryptoperiod based on the respective watermark symbol, the WMID symbol index, and the WMID before re-multiplexing the video and auxiliary streams for rendering.

Abstract: A plastic item, such as a beverage bottle, conveys two distinct digital watermarks, encoded using two distinct signaling protocols. A first, printed label watermark conveys a retailing payload, including a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) used by a point-of-sale scanner in a retail store to identify and price the item when presented for checkout. A second, plastic texture watermark conveys a recycling payload, including data identifying the composition of the plastic. The use of two different signaling protocols assures that a point-of-sale scanner will not spend its limited time and computational resources working to decode the recycling watermark, which lacks the data needed for retail checkout. In some embodiments, a recycling apparatus makes advantageous use of both types of watermarks to identify the plastic composition of the item (e.g., relating GTIN to plastic type using an associated database), thereby increasing the fraction of items that are correctly identified for sorting and recycling. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for analyzing using artificial intelligence engines depicted in audio visual content. The system is configured for determining that a user has accessed a first audio visual content on an audio visual content providing platform, performing a frame-by-frame analysis to determine one or more resources depicted in the first audio visual content, identifying one or more third party systems associated with the one or more resources, crawling the one or more third party systems associated with the one or more resources, extracting resource information associated with the one or more resources from the one or more third party systems based on crawling the one or more third party systems, and embedding the resource information associated with the one or more resources in the first audio visual content.

Abstract: A system and method for bandwidth management by controlling the bit rate of a signal stream in real time according to available link bandwidth. Applications include multiple-channel video data streams over a limited-bandwidth link such as a Digital Subscriber Line. A video signal is transrated at the head end to multiple streams having different bit rates, by a multirating device which sends the multiple streams over a network, along with metadata containing information about the data structure and parameters of the streams. At the network access edge, a demultirating device uses the metadata to select the stream with the highest video quality whose bit rate does not exceed the available bandwidth of the end-user's access link. This scheme provides multiple unicast signals to different end-users in place of a single multicast signal, supports multiple high-definition channels over a limited bandwidth link, and is compatible with standard encryption methods.

Abstract: A media presentation and distribution system includes a verification server that handles dynamic verification of playback of media assets on a client device. The client device generates support information for a media asset based on an associated asset identifier that is detected during a playback of the media asset on a client device. The client device further encrypts the support information for the media asset based on a client private key associated with the client device and an asset public key for the media asset. The playback of the media asset on the client device is verified based on a verification message, the support information, an encrypted verification message, and the associated asset identifier. A defined asset delivery criteria is satisfied and a deviation or an error with the playback of the media asset is identified based on the verification of the playback of the media asset.
