Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for media metering are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and at least one processor installed in a media presentation device to execute the instructions to at least: cause a video decoder to generate video display rasterizing information, present the video display rasterizing information via an output device of the media presentation device, and in response to monitoring being enabled, generate metering information corresponding to media presented in association with the video display rasterizing information presented via the output device.

Disclosed are various embodiments for a media player customization application. A media player framework defines basic functionality to render media items. Plugins may be added to the media player framework to implement desired functionality. The plugin model allows for a media player to minimize file sizes by only included required functionality.

Compiled code is stored on a mobile device or embedded in an application on the device. Instructions are assembled in a compiled program and stored on a system for subsequent transmission to the mobile device over a network. An application on the mobile device interfaces with the network to request and receive instructions. The instructions are retrieved from the data store and returned over the connection to the mobile device. After receipt by the mobile device, the instructions determine which code is to be activated. New instructions are downloaded to the device and the new instructions activate different code.

A display device includes a display; a processor; a memory; a communicator comprising communication circuitry; and one or more programs stored in the memory and executed by the processor, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for displaying a user interface (UI) on the display, the UI being configured to request a remote support service from an external server providing the remote support service in order for an external device connected over a network to receive the remote support service through the communication circuitry.

Methods and apparatus for control of data and content protection mechanisms across a network using a download delivery paradigm. In one embodiment, conditional access (CA), digital rights management (DRM), and trusted domain (TD) security policies are delivered, configured and enforced with respect to consumer premises equipment (CPE) within a cable television network. A trusted domain is established within the user's premises within which content access, distribution, and reproduction can be controlled remotely by the network operator. The content may be distributed to secure or non-secure output domains consistent with the security policies enforced by secure CA, DRM, and TD clients running within the trusted domain. Legacy and retail CPE models are also supported. A network security architecture comprising an authentication proxy (AP), provisioning system (MPS), and conditional access system (CAS) is also disclosed, which can interface with a trusted authority (TA) for cryptographic element management and CPE/user device authentication.

Techniques are described for expanding and/or improving the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television protocol in robustly delivering the next generation broadcast television services. ATSC 3.0 applications may be launched based on partial validation, e.g., as soon as one level of validation passes, with ensuing layers being authenticated as the application commences launch and with launch being stopped if any layer fails validation.

A method comprising: obtaining (400), in a first apparatus (500), media content, encoding (402), in a neural data compression network of the first apparatus (500), the media content wherein one or more parameters of the neural data compression network are determined based on a type of at least one analysis task to be performed on the media content; and transmitting (404) the encoded media content to a second apparatus (502).

Systems and methods for broadcasting a video stream are disclosed. The systems and methods can receive a video stream from a broadcaster, process the video steam, store the video streaming, and deliver the video stream to a viewer as a live video stream or a video on demand. The viewer may use an access token to access the video stream. The systems and methods may include an error detection mechanism for detecting an interrupt in the video stream. The systems and methods can restore the access token to its original state if an error is detected. The systems and methods can also include one or more link sharing mechanisms for sharing links to a video stream. The shareable links may be associated with share tokens.

The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method that make it possible to do a promotion for a non-subscriber to a pay broadcast service more flexibly. The reception apparatus receives broadcast content that is provided as a pay broadcast service and transmitted in a scrambled manner, acquires a subscription check application for checking presence of a subscription to the pay broadcast service depending on information indicating presence of the subscription check application, the information being included in control information including information regarding a structure of the broadcast content, and controls an operation of the subscription check application. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a television receiver capable of receiving a digital broadcast signal.

Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for media metering are disclosed. An example machine readable storage device disclosed herein includes instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least cause a video decoder to generate video display rasterizing information, present the video display rasterizing information via an output device of a media presentation device, and in response to monitoring being enabled, generate metering information corresponding to media presented in association with the video display rasterizing information presented via the output device.
