  • Patent number: 11868441
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting duplicate frames is provided. An automated duplicate frames detection service may extract one or more frames from content and determine a hamming distance between each of the extracted one or more frames and adjacent frames. In response to determining the hamming distance is less than a threshold hamming distance, the duplicate frames detection service may determine duplicate frames. In turn, the duplicate frames detection service may determine the duplicate frames are created without intent in response to determining the average distance between the one or more duplicate frames meets threshold criteria and provide an indication of the one or more duplicate frames without intent to a client device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11122309
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for deactivating problematic secondary content are provided. This approach involves a deactivator component receiving data associated with an indication of a change to one or more secondary contents, a secondary content playback report, and/or a secondary content quality of experience (QoE) via data sources. After identifying the problematic secondary content, the deactivator component may request a secondary content provider to deactivate the problematic secondary content by deactivating a target resource associated with the secondary content instance, the secondary content, the secondary content unit, or the placement. In particular, the deactivator component may also provide feedback or reason for deactivating the secondary content.
