Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to determine a duration of media presentation based on tuning session duration. Example apparatus a receiver to obtain a first tuning session duration indicative of an amount of time between channel changes of a first media presentation device at a first media presentation location, a presentation session estimator to select a model from storage, the model selected based on a match of the first tuning session duration and a second tuning session duration, the model including a relation between the second tuning session duration and a first presentation session duration of media presented on a second media presentation device at a second media presentation location, and estimate a second presentation session duration of media presented within the first tuning session duration based on the model.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are described. A computing device may receive a user input indicating a data stream, a data metric configured for a tenant of a multi-tenant database system, a rule associated with the data metric, a trigger based on the data metric, or some combination thereof. The computing device may receive, from the data stream, a real-time data stream including information corresponding to the data metric configured for the tenant, where the real-time data stream may be associated with a first user profile stored at the multi-tenant database system. The computing device may evaluate the rule, the trigger, or both based on ingesting the data stream and may perform the action based on the evaluation. Performing the action may involve sending a message to a user device associated with the first user profile in response to at least a portion of the data stream.

There is described an apparatus for providing a recommendation to a first user, wherein the apparatus comprises: a processor arranged to: determine, at a first time, a first set of vectors for a plurality of users, including a vector associated with the first user; determine a set of clusters based on the first set of vectors; detect, at a second time, an event associated with the first user; determine an updated vector for the first user in dependence on the event; place the first user into a cluster of the set of clusters based on the updated vector; and determine a recommended item of content for the first user in dependence on the cluster; and a user interface and/or communication interface arranged to: output the recommendation and/or the recommended item to the first user.

A media stream is delivered to a searcher by identifying a desirable emotional state for the searcher; identifying a current emotional state of the searcher; and estimating a target emotional trajectory that begins with the current emotional state and concludes with the desirable emotional state. Then the target emotional trajectory is matched to an aggregate emotional trajectory of the media stream; the media stream is recommended to the searcher in response to the matching; and a bit stream of the media stream is rendered to the searcher in response to the searcher's acceptance of the recommendation.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for adjusting an output of a media device to a display device based on measurement data from the ambient light source. According to some embodiments, a computer implemented method for adjusting one or more parameters of a content to be displayed on a display device can include receiving, by a media device and from an electronic device, measurement data including ambient light measurement data for an environment of the media device, the electronic device, and the display device. The method can further include adjusting, at the media device, the one or more parameters of the content based at least on the measurement data and outputting, by the media device, the adjusted content to the display device to be displayed.

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods of dynamically modifying execution environment for varying data or executables. The data or executables may be a multimedia file and the execution environment may be multimedia playback settings. In aspects, content comprising various media items may be received by a client device. The media items may be evaluated to determine a set of characteristics for the media items. The set of characteristics may be compared to a user's preferred configuration settings or previously-played media items. Based on the comparison, the set of characteristics may be altered to be consistent with the preferred configuration settings (e.g., a modified set of characteristics may be estimated). The modified media items may then be played under known playback settings. In aspects, the media item under consideration may be played as is using an estimated playback configuration to enable a user-preferable playback experience.

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for providing a call to action in connection with a live video stream. For example, systems and methods described herein enable a broadcaster to configure one or more benefits and one or more calls to action. Systems and methods described herein further provide the one or more calls to action in connection with a live video stream and based on the broadcaster's configurations. In response to a live video stream viewer correctly interacting with a provided call to action, systems and methods described herein provide a benefit to the viewer.

The present invention is directed to a system for providing audience sentiment responses to an event and/or an item of media content. The audience sentiment responses are divided into at least four categories, including sentiments liking and disliking the event and/or the media content, and sentiments desiring more or less of the event and/or the media content. The system further provides analytics regarding audience sentiments, such as the times during the event and/or the points in the media content wherein audiences experienced the greatest shifts in one or more of the sentiment types.

Systems and methods for implementing one or more game features across devices associated with a synchronous multimedia stream are disclosed. One method may include: transmitting interactive game features to multiple devices associated with a synchronous multimedia stream using a server in network communication with at least one database, the method comprising operations including: establishing, on the server, a virtual media streaming session; connecting two or more user profiles of a media streaming platform to the virtual media streaming session; providing, in the virtual media streaming session, an article of multimedia content, wherein the article of multimedia content is simultaneously viewable on user devices associated with each of the two or more user profiles; determining, using a processor associated with the server, whether one or more interactive game features associated with the article of multimedia content are activated; and implementing, responsive to determining that the one or more interactive game features are activated, aspects associated with the one or more interactive game features in the virtual media streaming session.

A computer-implemented is disclosed. The method includes: receiving media data of a live media stream; detecting a trigger associated with the media data of the live media stream; in response to detecting the trigger, generating at least one of audio or video overlay content associated with the trigger; and transmitting, to viewer devices, the at least one of audio or video overlay content with the live media stream.
