Patent number: 11442979Abstract: The present disclosure describes an autonomous mechanism for implementing a flexible image repository that includes an image retrieval service and an image repository management application. The flexible image repository performs delta processing to provide a subset of stored images to a subscriber device when the image retrieval service receives an image update request. The subscriber device thus receives updates to the image repository in a manner that reduces bandwidth requirements at both the server and the client, allowing client-side images to be updated more frequently. A content manager may update the flexible image repository via the image repository management application, which tags images according to a naming convention prior to inserting the images in the image repository.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventors: Jaison P. Antony, Heitor J. Almeida, John Markowski, Peter Caramanica, Alejandro Hoyos

Patent number: 11153618Abstract: In a video delivery context, collection and analysis of viewing data can provide insight into viewer interaction with video and the Internet. The viewing data can be transmitted in a controlled manner to a data repository. The system can selectively target specific viewers/households to obtain viewing data, which can be combined with demographics, anonymized, and encrypted. Embodiments enable precision selection of media opportunities, by determining detailed characteristics associated with broadcasts including movement of audiences and specific viewer behavior, such as visits to websites on the Internet. The effective yield of broadcasts, including promotional spots and advertisements, can be determined and predicted based on concrete data at a level of detail down to individual viewers. Accordingly, embodiments enable improvement of the effectiveness and return on investment for programming, promotional spots, and advertisements.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventors: Gemma Toner, Colleen Moraghan, Richard Neill, Alejandro A. Hoyos, John McKenna, Laurie Martone, Rohit Bansal
