A first acquisition section acquires a content image from an information processing apparatus. A second acquisition section acquires a camera image from the information processing apparatus. A synthesis processing section generates a distribution image by combining the content image with the camera image. A transmission processing section transmits the generated distribution image to an image sharing server.

A pay television satellite broadcast includes validation data that can be used to validate authenticity of live global positioning system (GPS) data. The validation data may be included within entitlement messages and encrypted for security and selective reception by authorized receivers. A navigation system may compute checksums of received live GPS data and compare with the validation data for a match. A decision about whether or not to use the live GPS data may be taken based on whether or not the computed checksums match the validation data received via the pay television satellite broadcast signals.

The present disclosure relates to a method and an ad decision sever for determining personalized messages during a provisioning of digital content. The method comprises to provide a set of personalized messages candidates by executing a relevance algorithm, which matches message metadata and content metadata. The method continues with receiving calculated network costs for the set of personalized message candidates in order to determine a set of personalized messages, which are optimized with respect to the received network costs by applying a multivariate optimization algorithm.

Methods, systems, and media for identifying abusive user accounts based on playlists are provided. In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, a method for identifying abusive content is provided, the method comprising: determining at least one feature associated with a playlist created by a user-generated channel; calculating a playlist score associated with the playlist based on a playlist classifier, wherein the playlist classifier comprises a function that maps the at least one feature to the playlist score; calculating a channel score associated with the user-generated channel based at least on the calculated playlist score; determining that one or more content items associated with the user-generated channel is to be demoted based on the calculated channel score, wherein the one or more content items comprises the playlist; and causing the one or more content items to be demoted.

Method for providing at least one client device (10), from a server (20) configured to control access to audio/video content, with management messages (40), comprising:—determining a first set (41) of management messages pertaining to said client device (10),—transmitting said first set through a first communicatio n channel (51) in a repetitive manner,—receiving, from said client device, a notification (15) comprising at least a client device identifier (11),—determining a second set (42) of management messages, said second set comprising all or part of the first set,—determining a token (45) associated with the second set,—receiving, from the client device, a confirmation (15′) comprising data pertaining to the token,—verifying the data pertaining to the token and, in case of a positive verification, removing all or part of the second set from the transmission through the first communication channel.

Systems and methods for displaying primary content without any overlaid secondary content, and instead transmitting the secondary content to the viewer as a message through another communication channel. For example, a news banner is removed from display on a viewer’s television, and the text of the news banner is encapsulated in a message sent to the viewer’s primary social media account. In this manner, the viewer may watch the primary content uninterrupted by the secondary content, and is thus presented with fewer distractions and a potentially more enjoyable viewing experience.
