Abstract: A computer-implemented system for seamless content delivery to an appliance equipped with a screen includes at least one memory, one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and a seamless content delivery system (SCDS), operated by the processor. The SCDS is configured to receive a request to play a video on the screen, the video stored in a first format that the appliance cannot display, restructure the video into a second format supported by the appliance, and play the video in the second format on the screen. A computer-implemented method for seamless content delivery to an appliance equipped with a screen includes receiving a request to play a video on the appliance, the video stored in a first format that the appliance cannot play, restructuring the video into a second format that the appliance can play, and playing the video in the second format on the appliance.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for real-time creative creation includes retrieving a creative definition object (CDO) that contains a set of instructions related to one or more creative assets, each associated with a set of layout and behavior instructions, retrieving the assets, rendering the assets according to the set of instructions and displaying the output. A computer-implemented system for real-time creative creation includes at least one memory and one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and a rendering module activated by a streaming application equipped with a video player. The rendering module is configured to retrieve a CDO that contains instructions related to one or more creative assets, each creative asset associated with a set of layout and behavior instructions, retrieve the creative assets, render them according to the set of instructions and display the rendered creative on a display.

Abstract: Controlling data read operations by performing at a first point in time a first read operation to read any portion of a file, determining a time interval based on the read portion, and performing, responsive to the time interval having elapsed from the first point in time, a second read operation to read any portion of the file.

Abstract: A system for automatically displaying content based on key moments includes: rules and database; a key moments machine learning module connected with at least one match detector module of at least one external entity; a key signals detector module connected with at least one content owner, the rules and database; and the key moments machine learning module; and a viewer connected with the at least one match detector module. The key signals detector module is configured to receive a video from at least one of the at least one content owner, and detect at least one key signal in the video. The key moments machine learning module is configured to receive the detected at least one key signal and detect at least one key moment; and at least one of the at least one match detector module is configured to receive the detected at least one key moment and decide when to display the content to the viewer.

Abstract: This invention relates to users competing at predicting occurrence that happen during a live sports event. Users buy credits, and enter a betting zone wherein a counter with round points starts to increase. When an incident happens, the users in the betting zone and hold the highest amount of round points wins. Thus, users are encouraged to foresee upcoming occurrence as early as possible, and enter the betting zone so as to gain as many round points as possible.
