Abstract: Media-presentation-conscious scheduling protocols are disclosed that may associate a geographical location containing a thing with an identifier of the thing and allow later-found media works that pertain to the identifier to be presented at a mobile device before the device reaches a waypoint of the location. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may respond to a predicted connectivity impairment of a traveling device by obtaining supplemental content to mitigate a predicted capacity shortage. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may interrupt live stream content, insert on-demand content, and later return to live stream presentation automatically.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for generating a set of recommended media works based on an identified seed media work. The seed media work is used to identify a set of co-occurring media works, which are defined as media works that have been intentionally interacted with within a predetermined time window as the seed media work by a single user. After the co-occurrence set is created, it is ranked and filtered. Media works identified in the co-occurrence set may then be selected based on their ranking.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing content items to users are disclosed. In an example, a system is configured to divide a content item into a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion begins at a chronological beginning of the content item and ends at a predetermined number of digital units from the chronological beginning of the content item. The system is also configured to encode the first portion according to an encoding format and store the first portion at a first data storage location remote from the computer system. The system is further configured to encode the second portion according to the encoding format and store the second portion at a second data storage location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing content items to users. A first content item is divided into an opening portion and a remainder portion. The opening portion begins at a chronological beginning of the first content item and ends a predetermined number of digital units from the chronological beginning of the first content item. The opening portion may be encoded according to an encoding format. The opening portion may be stored at a first remote data storage location. In response to a request for the content item from a user device, the first remote data storage location is instructed to stream the opening portion to the user device. The remainder portion may be encoded according to the encoding format and streamed to the user device.
