  • Patent number: 10616648
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of controlling delivery of content to one or more media consuming devices associated with a group of consumers, the method comprising: receiving identification information of each consumer of the group of consumers; identifying each consumer of the group of consumers based on the received identification information; querying a data store to determine characteristics of each of said identified consumers; and controlling the delivery of the content to at least one of said one or more media consuming devices based on the determined characteristics of at least one consumer of the group of consumers, wherein each consumer in the group has an association link with all other consumers in the group, and wherein the content which is delivered is delivered to all consumers in the group.

  • Patent number: 10575039
    Abstract: A content delivery system delivers media content to a content consuming user and comprises computer storage storing a media asset; an analysis component configured to perform an analysis of the user's behavior at a user device to infer a desirable attribute of a modified version of the media asset, the user's behavior comprising the user instigating at the user device requests for content other than the media asset to a computer network, and consuming the requested other content when returned from the network. The requests do not explicitly identify the desirable attribute. The system comprises a modified version generation component configured to receive the media asset and modify the media asset based on the analysis of the user's behavior; and a content delivery component configured to supply the modified version of the media asset to a media output device of the user, the modified version exhibiting the desirable attribute.

  • Patent number: 10123082
    Abstract: In the following, a content delivery system delivers a modified version of a media asset to a current content consuming user. Control information identifying a desired attribute of the modified version of the asset is received from the current content consuming user. The media asset is modified based on the control information and audience reaction data associated with the media asset and generated by analyzing at least a previous content consuming user's reactions to the media asset while the media asset was supplied to a media output device of the previous content consuming user.
