  • Patent number: 12292924
    Abstract: A differential media uploading system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a timeline file including a playlist track for a video file, and determine whether any pre-existing video frames stored in a media mastering system include a respective image depicted by a video frame contained in the video file. When it is determined that any of the pre-existing video frames include the respective image, the hardware processor executes the software code to disregard the video frame. When it is determined that none of the pre-existing video frames include the respective image, the hardware processor executes the software code to encode the video frame to provide an encoded video frame and upload the encoded video frame to the media mastering system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8244729
    Abstract: A method and system for automating electronic merchandising and product recommendation by creating a third party merchandising product database populated with data obtained directly at the point of sale. According to one embodiment, collection or direct importation of such data from an existing physical source or a product or merchandising database, which can be complex and costly, is not required. As a result, the cost of creating a usable merchandising system and database is reduced.
