  • Patent number: 10728620
    Abstract: A cloud-based automated content curation system includes a content curation platform having a hardware processor and a memory, a master control automation unit stored in the memory, and a web-based affiliate operations portal. The hardware processor is configured to execute the master control automation unit to receive content feeds from and business rules for each of multiple affiliate content providers, and to receive traffic log data and replacement content metadata for each of the affiliate content providers via the web-based affiliate operations portal. The hardware processor is also configured to execute the master control automation unit to curate multiple digital rights cleared content streams from each content feed based on the respective traffic log data, replacement content metadata, and business rules for each of the affiliate content providers, and to generate Internet Protocol (IP) transport streams for distributing the digital rights cleared content streams.

  • Patent number: 10162854
    Abstract: A collaborative cloud-based content curation system includes a content curation platform having a hardware processor, a memory, a master control automation unit stored in the memory, and a web-based affiliate operations portal. The hardware processor executes the master control automation unit to receive a content feed and trigger insertion instructions from an affiliate content provider, and to receive traffic log data for the affiliate content provider via the web-based affiliate operations portal. The master control automation unit curates a digital rights cleared content stream from the content feed, produces a corresponding electronic programming guide (EPG), and generates an IP transport stream for distributing the digital rights cleared content stream and the EPG. The master control automation unit also receives, after distribution of the digital rights cleared content and the EPG, a traffic log update data, and updates the EPG in real-time.
