Patent number: 12164606Abstract: A central asset registry and associated satellite registries tie Digital Asset Management (DAM) repositories and satellite repositories into a unified enterprise system. The system removes rights and asset relationship tracking from the DAMs and the satellites by gathering asset metadata tags and capturing digital asset rights and relationships between assets to improve speed, scalability, and flexibility in analyzing and traversing networks of rights and relationships of digital assets. The central asset registry and the satellite registries use a pluggable architecture and track and store multi-dimensional relationships as an asset hierarchy. The asset hierarchy and rights model depicts rights and relationship data between the assets and provides a flexible array of asset types and properties for addition of new assets, new asset types, and new rights without re-factoring the other data, nodes, and edges. The system uses asset metadata to create edge relationships between the assets.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2023Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventors: Beth Jackson, William C. Hurst, Chris Goodacre, Melissa Roberts, Lisa Seeto, Pedro Lopez, Jarrod Clift, Brant Boehmann, Dennis Killingsworth

Patent number: 11979623Abstract: Systems and methods create new viewership estimates to drive linear ad schedule optimizations. The systems use machine learning techniques to predict granular-level television viewership metrics for any consumer segment measurable at a national level. The systems provide capabilities beyond merely estimating and forecasting television viewership for age- and gender-based demographic segments. The systems accurately estimate viewership for any consumer segment, including behavioral, demographic, and other segmentation techniques and provide reliable viewership predictions. The systems model viewership by training an ensemble of machine learning models using historical consumer segments data and TV viewership data.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventor: Diana Saafi

Patent number: 11196980Abstract: The invention includes systems and methods to provide a non-intrusive 360 view without a camera at the viewpoint. The invention processes video feeds from an array of cameras to track an object in the video feeds and generates an immersive media from the video feeds. The system identifies a primary object and tracks the primary object with an array of mounted sets of at least two cameras. Each of the sets including a camera directed at the object and another camera directed at a background of the object. The system then stitches the video feeds to generate the immersive media.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventor: Leon Vogelzang

Patent number: 10878296Abstract: The invention relates to image processing systems, methods, and storage media for recognizing a scene type. The invention performs dynamic content analysis to extract features from an image and creates labels that include a text-based description of the items and the environment of the image. The invention then trains multiple predictive models and determines characterization labels for the image or scene. The invention can create multi-label classifications as well as multi-class classifiers. The text-based labels created by the invention extend generic classification labels into a domain-specific manner of defining and naming groups of images. The characterizing labels can be tagged to the image as metadata for further organization and consumption of the images or scenes.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventor: Shane Murphy
