Abstract: Systems and methods of combining digital video are described. A system can receive digital video comprising frames. The system can analyze the frames to identify a subset of consecutive frames that have a static portion defined by a spatial region with matching pixels across two or more frames. The system can tag the digital video with an indication of the subset and a trigger that causes transmission, at a temporal offset during playback prior to the subset, of a request for content used to overwrite the static portion. The system can receive the request from the client device, the request transmitted by the client device based on the temporal offset during playback prior to the subset. The system can select and transmit a content item responsive to the request to cause the client device to render the content item at the static portion of the subset.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining watch time loss regions in media content items. In one aspect, features for a video are input into a trained model that is trained to output watch time loss regions. The trained model is trained using labels corresponding to known watch time loss regions in training videos and features of training videos that correspond to the known watch time loss regions. A watch time loss region defines a time window of a video during which a likelihood of a user stopping playback of the video is more than a threshold likelihood. In response to inputting the feature for the first video into the trained model, data regarding watch time loss regions for the video is obtained from the model and provided to an entity involved in providing the video to a user.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for generating notifications based on the interests of guests. Guests may request notifications on their host's television, and the system will generate notifications based on the guest's interests and preferences as stored in the guest's user profile. In doing so, the guest will be notified of events of interest, such as when a favorite sports team scores a point or when an important scene in a favorite movie is playing. The system monitors the network of the apartment or house and detects when a guest device is accessing the network. The system then accesses the guest's interests and identifies a set of programs based on these interests. The system then monitors these programs and generates notifications on the display device when an event of interest has occurred in one of the identified programs.

Abstract: A digital content storage and delivery system (DCSDS) includes a network interface to communicate data between the DCSDS and a destination device via a network data communication link having limited bandwidth. An input interface receives digital content for handling by the DCSDS. A storage architecture stores recorded video content on behalf of subscriber end users for on-demand playback via the network data communication link, and it caches live streaming video content for distribution via the network data communication link. The DCDS may monitor bandwidth usage of the network data communication link, determine current bandwidth demand for playback of recorded video content stored at the storage architecture, and reserve at least some of the limited bandwidth of the network data communication link to satisfy the determined current bandwidth demand. The available bandwidth is allocated to support distribution of live streaming video from the DCSDS.

Abstract: Visual content of media programs is recognized using text-based scripts of the media programs. A script of a media program includes sets of words to be spoken by actors during the media program, and also descriptions of points of interest of the media program. A file of subtitles or captions of a media program includes sets of words actually spoken by actors during the media program along with marks or stamps of times when such words were spoken. The sets of words of a script and in subtitles or captions are processed to determine where such words align. The sets of words of the script are then marked or stamped with times from the subtitles. The descriptions may then be processed to predict the visual content from such descriptions, and times at which the visual content appears within the media program are determined from the sets of words.
