  • Patent number: 9111299
    Abstract: A system for indicating the unavailability of an already uploaded video file is provided. The system includes an advertiser system providing a graphical user interface for uploading a video file to a database and an ad serving system communicatively coupled to the database that receives the uploaded video file. A creative asset processing system is communicatively coupled to the ad serving system and advertiser system and receives the uploaded video file to process the uploaded video file by performing bit rate encoding on the uploaded video file. The bit rate encoding generates a plurality of encoded video files of the uploaded video file having respective bitrates. The advertiser system displays a set of menu options on the graphical user interface for each of the encoded video files.

  • Patent number: 8898575
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for indicating unavailability of an uploaded video file that is being bitrate encoded. For instance, upon a determination that the uploaded video file is being bitrate encoded, a graphical user interface may be provided that includes an interface element indicating that the uploaded video file is unavailable for processing except for the bitrate encoding. The interface element may be an icon, a textual message, or any other suitable interface element that is capable of indicating that the uploaded video file that is being bitrate encoded is unavailable. When the bitrate encoding is completed, the interface element may be automatically updated to indicate that the uploaded video file is available for processing.

  • Patent number: 7984330
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are described that are capable of recovering an asynchronous process after an error occurs with respect to the process. For example, the process may be re-initiated upon detection of the error. The re-initiated process is capable of not repeating tasks of the process that were completed prior to the occurrence of the error.

  • Publication number: 20100257062
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are described that provide recommendations for trafficking online advertisements (“ads”) in an online ad network. In a first example implementation, online ads are recommended for trafficking with regard to designated placements. In another example implementation, placements are recommended for trafficking designated online ads. Placements may be associated with ad groups, such that the ad groups may be recommended for assignment of designated online ads, and/or online ads may be assigned to designated ad groups.

  • Publication number: 20100223396
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are described that intelligently determines the status of a process. The process is performed with respect to a creative asset that may be included in an online ad, for example. The status of the process is requested at a poll time that is calculated based on at least one attribute of the creative asset. For example, the calculated poll time may be based on a duration of a video associated with the creative asset, a weight (i.e., bitsize) of the creative asset, etc.
