Customized highlight shows for sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like, having a narrative component, are generated and presented. The events can be sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like. For example, in the context of sporting events, a determination is made as to what types of sports, teams, leagues, players, plays, and/or the like are of interest to the user. A customized highlight show is then generated and presented, containing those specific portions of the sporting events that are likely to be of interest, arranged in a manner that is likely to be entertaining and interesting to the user and that presents a cohesive narrative.

There is disclosed a method and system for uploading media objects unto a web platform, the method executable by a server that hosts the web platform, the server being coupled to an electronic device, the method comprising: acquiring a first media object having a first duration time and a second media object having a second duration time for uploading; queuing for upload the first media object; determining a remaining time available for publishing the second media object, the remaining time corresponding to a difference between a predetermined time limit set by the web platform and the first duration time; in response to the remaining time being below the second duration time, shortening the first media object to reduce the first duration time; in response to the second duration time being below the remaining time, publishing the first media object and the second media object as a merged media object.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing non-intrusive advertising content to users. The method includes receiving user input reflecting user content preferences for receiving desired content related to specific topics in lieu of standard advertising slots while watching playable media content via a set-top box. The method may further include receiving a request for playable media content and then retrieving desired content based on user content preferences. Thereafter, the method may include choosing non-intrusive advertising content and generating datagrams that include the desired content and the non-intrusive advertising content. The datagrams may be concatenated with the playable media content to generate displayable content. The display content may then be provided for displaying.

Systems and methods for managing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are disclosed. Systems may involve automatically generating a honeypot. For example, the system may include one or more memory units storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include receiving, from a client device, a call to an API node and classifying the call as unauthorized. The operation may include sending the call to a node-imitating model associated with the API node and receiving, from the node-imitating model, synthetic node output data. The operations may include sending a notification based on the synthetic node output data to the client device.

A system (1000) is disclosed including a resource allocation optimization (RAO) platform (1002) for optimizing the allocation of resources in network (1004) for delivery of assets to user equipment devices (UEDs) (1012). The RAO platform (1002) determines probabilities that certain asset delivery opportunities (ADOs) will occur within a selected time window and uses these probabilities together with information concerning values of asset delivery to determine an optimal use of asset deliveries. In this regard, the RAO platform (1004) received historical data from repository (1014) that facilitates calculation of probabilities that ADOs will occur. Such information may be compiled based on asset delivery records for similar network environments in the recent past or over time.

A computer-implemented method of identifying whether a target video comprises an abridged version of a reference video includes evaluating condition a) that the target video does not comprise all shots of the reference video; condition b) that the target video includes groups of consecutive shots also included in the reference video; and condition c) that all shots which are present in both the target video and the reference video are in the same order. The method further includes identifying whether the target video comprises an abridged version of the reference video; and outputting a result of the identifying. The target video is identified as comprising an abridged version of the reference video on condition that conditions a), b) and c) are met. Also provided is a data processing apparatus for performing the method; and a computer program and computer readable storage medium comprising instructions to perform the method.

A method for generating video from scratch, including retrieving template video, reading commands of predefined programming language, wherein commands include instruction corresponding to video action and time line at predefined layer of media/video element (properties) and new parameters including information from external data sources. The video action includes at least one of: drawing action, object selection, change of object properties, creating text, motion action relating at least one object, background creation, defining layer of video, animation of the object itself. The method includes generating video layers by applying the relevant actions based on commands instruction, scheduling timing and layer definitions. The actions include changing object properties drawing action, object selection, change of object properties, creating text, motion action relating at least one object, background creation, defining layer of video, animation of the object itself. The method also includes integrating video template with generated video layers, and rendering the frames to generate a video.

The present technology relates to a transmission device, a reception device, a transmission system, and a transmission method capable of improving transmission efficiency of subdata added to main data. A transmission device includes a frame sequence number setting unit that, on the basis of a frame number indicating an order of a subframe in a main frame, assigns to the subframe a frame sequence number indicating an order of the subframe in a frame sequence including a plurality of the subframes, and a multiplexing unit that arranges a data packet at a predetermined position in the subframe on the basis of the frame sequence number. The present technology can be applied to a CCU, for example.
