Patent number: 9245280Abstract: Effectiveness of video content is predicted using an automated or semi-automated analysis process operating on a computer. Video content is analyzed using image and audio data processing to assign a collection of attributes to a video ad. The collection of attributes is correlated to a historical effectiveness (e.g., click-thru rate) of past video ads in the same or similar attribute space to obtain predicted ad effectiveness. Differences between the collection of attributes and historical attribute spaces of greater effectiveness may also be determined and reported in the form of suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the ad.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Inventors: Hua Zheng, Jean-Paul Colaco, Noelle Huynh, Joyce Zhang, Xuan Wei

Patent number: 9118886Abstract: A method for annotating general objects contained in video content is provided. The method sends video data to a client device and receives a first annotation from the client device defining a boundary around a portion of a first frame of the video data. Then, the first annotation is tracked through multiple frames of the video content. Other annotations determined to be associated with annotation that match the first annotation within a threshold are determined where the other annotations are received from other client devices and located in the first frame or other frames from the first frame. The method combines the other annotations and the first annotation into an object track and associates a tag with the object track. The tag is input by at least one of the client devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: HULU, LLCInventors: Zhibing Wang, Dong Wang, Tao Xiong, Cailiang Liu, Joyce Zhang, Heng Su

Publication number: 20150058120Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines advertisement (ad) impressions previously determined for a site and respective predicted probabilities determined for the ad impressions. A mapping table is generated mapping predicted probabilities to respective precisions using seed data associated with the ad impressions. The method generates optimal options for using the first level and the second level for the segment using the mapping table. The optimal options include a first precision for the first level, a second precision for the second level, and a ratio of ad inventories allocated to the first level and the second level. Then the method selects one of the optimal options. The selected one of the optimal options includes parameters including a first threshold for the first level, a second threshold for the second level, and the ratio that are used to test whether a predicted probability for an ad impression is targeted to the first level or the second level.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2013Publication date: February 26, 2015Applicant: Hulu, LLCInventors: Dong Guo, Xuan Wei, Hua Zheng, Joyce Zhang

Publication number: 20150046935Abstract: In one embodiment, a method trains a predictive model configured to predict a probability that advertisement (ad) impressions belong to a segment that is being targeted where the ad impressions are provided during sending of videos to users. A first threshold is determined in which the probability predicted from the predictive model is compared to determine whether ad impressions belong to the segment. A distribution probability used in the training of the predictive model is determined. The distribution probability is determined based on a characteristic for ad impressions on a site. Then, a changed distribution probability for the site is determined. The method further determines a second threshold in which the probability predicted from the predictive model is compared to determine whether ad impressions belong to the segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2013Publication date: February 12, 2015Inventors: Xuan Wei, Dong Guo, Hua Zheng, Joyce Zhang

Publication number: 20140132833Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines multiple screens of multiple mobile computing devices should be combined in playback of a video. A first mobile computing device receives the video and determines device characteristics based on a positioning of the first mobile computing device in relation to a second mobile computing device. Playback characteristics are determined based on the device characteristics. Then, the first mobile computing device renders a first portion of the video on a first screen based on the playback characteristics where a second portion of the video is rendered on a second screen of the second mobile computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: Hulu, LLCInventors: Zhibing Wang, Deliang Fu, Xao Xiong, Heng Su, Joyce Zhang
