Patent number: 11887114Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 11868441Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael S. Levin, Christopher Lynn, Alexandra Paige, Constantinos Hoppas, Matthew Nash, Rachel A. Price

Patent number: 11838561Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael S. Levin, Alexandra Paige, Tatiana Stepanov, Christopher Lynn, Dana Cacciatore, Carlos Costa, Rebecca Mason, Janice Navea, Joshua Butler, Stephane Krzywoglowy

Publication number: 20230188774Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Michael S. Levin, Christopher Lynn, Alexandra Paige, Carlos Costa, Craig Gardner, Megan Mauck, Dominic Insogna, Vanessa Cavorti, Beth Kramer, Karthik Rengasamy, Rebecca Mason

Publication number: 20220406021Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael James LEBEAU, Björn WANBO, Gregg WYGONIK, Saransh SOLANKI, Sarang BORUDE, Jonathan KANTROWITZ, Alexandra Paige RUBIN, Wenjin GU, Austen McRAE, Anis Ahmed SANKIGIRI KHADER

Patent number: 11122309Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael Levin, Christopher Lynn, Christopher Price, Richard Dale, Constantinos Hoppas, Gianna DiGiovanni, Alexandra Paige
