Publication number: 20240089524Abstract: A system is provided that determines a media item for an insertion in a first media feed of a first channel based on a pre-encoded media content, metadata related to the pre-encoded media content, and audience-based parameters. The audience-based parameters comprise demographics data, targeted audience data, device type data, and trending information that includes media items based on current trend in a social network platform. Each media segment of the pre-encoded media content corresponds to a different quality level and content encryption mode. A second channel is generated from the first channel based on the audience-based parameters, the media item inserted in the first media feed, and a second programming schedule. The second programming schedule corresponds to a modified first programming schedule based on the audience-based parameters. Based on at least the media item, the second media feed of the second channel is generated for distribution to a consumer device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Donald Jude LOHEIDE, Carlos Jorge M. MONTEIRO, Nishith Kumar SINHA, Nicolas Paul WEBB, James J. ARNZEN, Mark Cooper POPE, V

Publication number: 20230291970Abstract: A system is provided for inserting a pre-encoded media asset in a media feed of a first channel based on an input on a notification associated with a media item and a defined selection parameter. Based on the pre-encoded media asset inserted in different channels and the defined selection parameter, a plurality of new channels is created. Based on a re-use of the pre-encoded media asset for one of the plurality of new channels, the plurality of new channels is created independent of an encoding operation prior to a distribution of program streams of the plurality of new channels to a plurality of consumer devices. The plurality of new channels is delivered over a distribution network without being required to be re-encoded.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Carlos Jorge M.

Patent number: 11134309Abstract: A system that distributes channels, to be viewed on consumer devices, receives a media feed and a first programming schedule of a first channel from a source device, and selects pre-encoded media assets for insertion in the media feed based on defined selection parameters. New channels are dynamically created based on the inserted selected pre-encoded media assets in the new channels and based on the defined selection parameters. The defined selection parameters correspond to user-preferences received from the plurality of consumer devices on which the first channel is viewed, and/or a received input that corresponds to user-selections on the consumer devices. The defined selection parameters may include audience-based parameters from an external data source. The first programming schedule is modified based on the differential insertion of the selected one or more pre-encoded media assets in different channels to generate a plurality of programming schedules for the plurality of new channels.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2016Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Carlos Jorge M Monteiro, Mark Cooper Pope, V, James J Arnzen, Nicolas Paul Webb
