A new scalable approach to conflict-free deployment of changes across networks. The conflict rules or constraints may be modeled using policies and algorithms to determine an optimized schedule for change deployment.

A method for virtual live streaming, a device, and a storage medium thereof are provided. The method includes: polling a broadcasting task list, and triggering a start event for a virtual live streaming task in the broadcasting task list in a case that the virtual live streaming task meets a preset start condition, where the broadcasting task list is to maintain a state of a live streaming task on a network live streaming platform; creating a live streaming room in response to the start event, and associating the live streaming room with a virtual anchor account to which the virtual live streaming task belongs; generating a stream-pushing address, calling a streaming media resource pre-configured for the virtual live streaming task and pushing the streaming media resource to the stream-pushing address; and adding an access portal of the live streaming room into a live streaming room list.

Provided is a system that identifies a tag in a media content of a media stream based on a user-attribute of a client device. A candidate time-period is identified in a playback duration of the media content based on the identified tag in the media content. Based on a degree of correlation between the identified tag in the media content and a corresponding context for the media content at the candidate time-period, an overlay-graphic item corresponding to the identified tag is presented at the candidate time-period in the media content.

A system is provided that publishes a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. The system generates an updated schedule based on a low-latency preview of a live input stream. The system further generates a disparate live media output stream manifest based on manipulation of manifests of the live input stream and a pre-encoded media asset based on the updated schedule.

The system and methods described aid content delivery by providing requested content using a hybrid delivery of unicast and multicast content. A content delivery system receives, from user equipment, a request for content and identifies multicast sources for the content. The content delivery system determines a recent multicast source from the multicast sources, the recent multicast source having begun more recently relative to the other sources. The content delivery system transmits, to the user equipment, an identity of the recent multicast source and provides a beginning portion of the content to the user equipment via a unicast stream.

This disclosure provides a scheduling transmission method and an apparatus. According to the method, a scheduling priority of a terminal is determined based on an instantaneous rate of the terminal and a service type of a first service of the terminal, and the first service is transmitted with the terminal based on the scheduling priority of the terminal. The instantaneous rate of the terminal is positively correlated with the scheduling priority of the terminal, and a target video frame correct ratio of the first service is greater than a first threshold. The solutions of this application can be widely used in the fields of communication technologies, artificial intelligence, Internet of vehicles, Internet of smart home, and the like.

Provided is a system that includes a circuit to generate an interactive item based on a request received from a first distribution network or a second distribution network. The interactive item is overlaid over a media item present in media content. The circuit then activates the generated interactive item overlaid over the media item of the media content. Further, the circuit receives an event trigger, from a client application engine operational on a user device associated with a user, for a selection of the activated interactive item. A personalized list is generated for the event trigger for the selection of the interactive item. Further, the generated personalized list is transmitted for a display for a defined time duration, to one of the first distribution network, the second distribution network or the client application engine operational on the user device.

Provided is a system that includes a memory for storing instructions and a circuitry for executing instructions for management and delivery of OTT services over different content-streaming systems. The circuitry determines a media item in media content of a distribution network. An interactive item is overlaid over the media item in the media content of the distribution network. A personalized list is further generated based on a selection of the interactive item overlaid over the media item in the media content of the distribution network The circuitry further selects a user-selectable option in the generated personalized list with the media content on a client application engine for a defined time duration and determines a measure of an intent score of the user.

A system is provided that receives a request based on a detection of at least one of digital fingerprints and digital watermarks in media content. The system searches for one of fingerprint information or watermark information in a registry for the at least one of the digital watermarks or the digital fingerprints in the media content, based on analysis of at least one of a context, a user preference, or a defined goal of different segments in programming media content and non-programming media content of the media content. The fingerprint information or the watermark information enables the first processor to keep track of a user engagement with the media content. The fingerprint information or the watermark information is transmitted to a client device. Delivery of a service is enabled by a second processor of the client device via a fulfilment server to perform an action on the non-programming media content.

Systems and methods for validating live programming content based on data are provided. A system can access an initial schedule for a live broadcast event provided by a broadcast provider computing system, and identify an initial start time for the live broadcast event and a duration for the live broadcast event. The system can receive an update relating to the live broadcast event from a data source. The system can determine that the initial schedule is invalid based on the update, and set a flag for the live broadcast event indicating that the initial schedule has changed. The system can then modify a selection policy for content to display with the live broadcast event responsive to the flag.
