20230096891 · 2023-03-30 ·

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine demographic classifications for census level impression counts and unique audience sizes are disclosed. In an example, the apparatus includes media tag format circuitry to generate a reformatted media tag corresponding to an impression request. The example apparatus also includes model execution circuitry to execute a machine learning model based on the reformatted media tag to generate outputs, the outputs including at least a value representative of a probability of an occurrence of a demographic classification. The example apparatus further includes audience counting circuitry to assign an identification of ones of audience members in a group to the demographic classification based at least on the outputs.

PROGRAM SEARCHING FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS OR BLINDNESS

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for providing content searching for people with visual impairments or blindness. An embodiment operates by receiving a command to search multimedia content including both video content and audio content. One or more scene changes, including a first scene change, corresponding to the video content are determined. The search command is executed on the multimedia content. It is detected that the multimedia content has reached the first scene change responsive to the executing the search command. An audio cue t is audibly output responsive to the detection.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING DIGITAL VIDEO LATENCY

Examples of the systems and methods described herein relate to reducing latency issues associated with playing online digital video on client devices. An example method includes: determining a likelihood that a user will trigger presentment of video content within a portion of digital content, and when the likelihood is determined to exceed a threshold, obtaining a video tag that identifies the video content or caching a portion of the video content prior to presentment of the video content.

Method and apparatus for selection of content from a stream of data

A main stream contains successive content elements of video and/or audio information that encode video and/or audio information at a first data rate. A computation circuit (144) computes main fingerprints from the successive content elements. A reference stream is received having a second data rate lower than the first data rate. The reference stream defines a sequence of the reference fingerprints. A comparator unit (144) compares the main fingerprints with the reference fingerprints. The main stream is monitored for the presence of inserted content elements between original content elements, where the original content elements have main fingerprints that match successive reference fingerprints and the inserted content elements have main fingerprints that do not match reference fingerprints. Rendering of inserted content elements to be skipped. In an embodiment when more than one content element matches only one is rendered. In another embodiment matching is used to control zapping to or from the main stream. In another embodiment matching is used to control linking of separately received mark-up information such as subtitles to points in the main stream.

METHODS AND APPARATUS TO IDENTIFY AND TRIAGE DIGITAL AD RATINGS DATA QUALITY ISSUES
20230032480 · 2023-02-02 ·

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to identify and triage digital ad ratings data quality issues are disclosed. An example apparatus includes score calculation circuitry to: generate one or more aggregate factor scores based on aggregate data from a first impression data point; generate one or more daily factor scores based on daily data from the from impression data point; normalize the one or more aggregate factor scores based on aggregate factor scores of at least a second data impression point; normalize the one or more daily factor scores based on daily factor scores of at least a second data impression point; calculate a final weight score for the first impression data point using the aggregate factor scores and the daily factor scores for the first impression data point; and flag the final weight score if it does not satisfy a threshold score.

Graphical user interface for insights on viewing of media content

Systems and methods relate to display of insights, including a method including: causing a user display to display a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user to select a time range and a single digital display as a locale; and causing, based on the user selecting the time range and the single digital display as the locale, the user display to display, on the GUI, a list of a plurality of media content that have been displayed on the single digital display, each of the plurality of media content being ordered according to analysis insight for the single digital display selected and the time range selected. The analysis insight may include at least impression counts that are counts of views by people of the plurality of media content on one or more digital displays associated with the locale.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SOCIAL MEDIA-BASED CONTENT RECOMMENDATIONS
20220353579 · 2022-11-03 ·

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for recommending content based on content being engaged with by a user's social media contacts. For example, embodiments described herein advantageously provide a user with content recommendations that are based on what other people associated with the user (e.g., via a social media service) are consuming. For instance, content being engaged with by a user's social media contacts are monitored via multimedia devices utilized by the user and his contacts and/or are inferred via social media posts of the user's contacts. Once the content is determined, the user is provided with recommendations for that contact. The recommendations may be provided to the user while the user is watching content and/or browsing for content. The recommendations may also be provided based on periodicity of the media content.

LIVE BROADCAST ROOM PAGE LOADING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND TERMINAL, SERVER AND STORAGE MEDIUM
20220353551 · 2022-11-03 ·

Provided are a live broadcast room page loading method and apparatus, a terminal, a server and a storage medium. The live broadcast room page loading method includes: acquiring live broadcast room functional area loading sequence information; detecting a trigger instruction, wherein the trigger instruction is used for indicating display of a live broadcast room page; and loading and displaying a plurality of functional areas in the live broadcast room page according to the live broadcast room functional area loading sequence information.

METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING NOTIFICATIONS INDICATING RECOMMENDED CONTENT
20230089035 · 2023-03-23 · ·

Methods, systems, and media for presenting notifications indicating recommended content are provided. A notification of recommended content can be provided. An indication that a user device has initiated a casting session with a display device can be received. A request for recommended content to be presented on the display device can be received. A media content item can be identified based on at least one media content item that has been previously selected by a user account associated with the user device. A notification can be generated that includes an indication of the identified media content item and a selectable input that, when selected, causes the identified media content item to begin being presented on the display device.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE-FUNCTION-EQUIPPED DISPLAY APPARATUS
