  • Patent number: 11887114
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pulsing and controlling quality of content are provided. An automated QC system that automatically monitors (e.g., pulses) content for any changes by third-party servers and subsequently deactivates problematic content may improve user experience in relation to viewing content and enhance revenue gains for the content provider. For example, a confidence tool may identify problematic changes to the content via a pulsing mechanism, in which content is identified for deactivation until changes to the content meet the specification of the content presentation services. Active (e.g., live) or in-flight (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11868441
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting duplicate frames is provided. An automated duplicate frames detection service may extract one or more frames from content and determine a hamming distance between each of the extracted one or more frames and adjacent frames. In response to determining the hamming distance is less than a threshold hamming distance, the duplicate frames detection service may determine duplicate frames. In turn, the duplicate frames detection service may determine the duplicate frames are created without intent in response to determining the average distance between the one or more duplicate frames meets threshold criteria and provide an indication of the one or more duplicate frames without intent to a client device.

  • Patent number: 11838561
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling quality of content are provided. Programmatic ad buying may facilitate and expedite ad buying via an automated process. However, quality control via a conventional ad buying process is done with manual intervention. A confidence tool may request, from a programmatic content library of a content provider, to analyze a content tag associated with programmatic content. The confidence tool may determine whether the content tag meets confidence criteria (e.g., specifications of a content presentation service). The confidence tool may notify the content provider of whether the content tag meets the confidence criteria. Based on this notification, the content provider may approve the content to be run or reject the content to prevent problematic content from running on the content presentation service.

  • Publication number: 20230188774
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling quality of content is provided. A confidence tool of an automated quality control system may receive a request to analyze a tag indicating content to be presented by a content presentation service. The tag may be indicative of a link to the content and a tracking pixel associated with the content. The confidence tool may determine whether the tag meets criteria (e.g., pixel whitelisting criteria, specification of a content presentation service). The confidence tool may notify a user whether the tag meets the criteria to prevent problematic content from being presented by the content presentation service.

  • Publication number: 20220406021
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a mapping communication system that creates a 3D model of a real-world space and places a virtual camera in the 3D model. As the mapping communication system detects changes in the space, it can provide scan updates to keep the 3D model close to a live representation of the space. Further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to traveling a user to an artificial reality (XR) environment using an intent configured XR link. Yet further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to improving audio latency by performing audio processing off-headset for artificial reality (XR) experiences.

  • Patent number: 11122309
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for deactivating problematic secondary content are provided. This approach involves a deactivator component receiving data associated with an indication of a change to one or more secondary contents, a secondary content playback report, and/or a secondary content quality of experience (QoE) via data sources. After identifying the problematic secondary content, the deactivator component may request a secondary content provider to deactivate the problematic secondary content by deactivating a target resource associated with the secondary content instance, the secondary content, the secondary content unit, or the placement. In particular, the deactivator component may also provide feedback or reason for deactivating the secondary content.

  • Patent number: 9259072
    Abstract: A fingernail polishing device is disclosed. The device is a base portion on which a user can rest his or her hand, and a bottle holder portion that is fastened to the top of the base portion and securely holds a bottle of nail polish or nail polish remover while the user polishes the nails of the hand resting on the base portion. The base portion can curve upward and around to partially grip the user's fingers. The bottle holder may be an elastic flexible cup shaped to hold a bottle. The two parts can be detachable or integrated together.
