Publication number: 20190238946Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein relate to generating a unified playlist for media content originating from different content providers. According to various embodiments, a connection request from a media aggregation system is sent to an over-the-top (OTT) content service provider. A connection is established between the media aggregation system and the OTT content service provider. A connection is also established between the media aggregation system and a cable/satellite/terrestrial (CST) content service provider. Program information from the OTT content service provider and program information associated with the CST content service provider are combined to generate a unified playlist at the media aggregation system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Applicant: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Cory Carpenter, Fidel Zawde, Curtis Calhoun

Publication number: 20140136526Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to allow for content discovery using closed caption content search and ranking. Search mechanisms analyze titles, descriptions, social media content, metadata, etc., and intelligently organize content for presentation to a viewer. Image recognition and audio recognition algorithms can also be performed to further identify entities or validate results from the analysis of metadata. Other closed captioning content may be analyzed to determine the relevance of a piece of media content to a particular search term found in the piece of media content. Results are ranked based on the prominence of search and related terms in titles, descriptions, and closed caption contents along with the popularity of the media content itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: MobiTV, Inc.Inventor: Curtis Calhoun
