Abstract: A computer system provides a method for delivering a video stream to a viewer and delivering, in synchrony with the video stream, social media content created during the current and previous viewings of the video stream by first-time viewers of the video stream.

Abstract: A computer system provides a method for distribution of a video stream together with associated media content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable synchronized encoding of streaming audio or video content between multiple encoders, in a manner that provides for redundancy of the system to vary based on a demand for the output content. End user devices or content distribution systems can monitor how content is output on end user devices, and report such output to a content encoding system. The encoding system can then redundancy provided for streaming content based on the demand by end users. Streams that are in high demand can be processed with high redundancy among devices that provide seamlessly interchangeable content, thus reducing the likelihood of perceived failure for such streams. Streams that are in low demand can be processed with low redundancy, reducing the computing resources used to process the stream while minimizing the overall impact of a processing failure, should one occur.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for controlling the distribution of supplementary content by generating a first control signal when known content is initially detected in a broadcast stream, and after generating the first control signal, generating a second control signal when the detected content is no longer detected in the broadcast stream. The first and second control signals may be used to control the distribution of supplementary content.

Abstract: A computer system is used to distribute an application using a data resource. An application using a data resource is created using an authoring environment. The application is converted into a certified master application template. The certified master application template is used to create a certified application and certified data resource. The certified application and certified data resource are distributed. During the distribution of the application, the certified master application template is modified and a new certified data resource is created. The new certified data resource is distributed.
