Abstract: The present disclosure describes method for automated video quality assurance. Test video and corresponding reference video comprising plurality of test frames and reference frames is received. Plurality of test frames is compared with plurality of reference frames. Synchronized output list having one or more test frames is generated until each test frame matches each reference frame in sequential order. When test frame fails to match reference frame (i) an unmatched test frame or reference frame is shifted; and (ii) set of subsequent test frames is compared with set of subsequent reference frames. When set of subsequent test frames matches set of subsequent reference frames, synchronized output list is updated by adding set of subsequent test frames. When set of subsequent test frames fails to match set of subsequent reference frames, each of remaining test frames is compared with reference frames and synchronized output list is updated.

Abstract: The present disclosure recites techniques for content delivery in an MABR system.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for performing auxiliary search on streaming media content. The techniques according to the present disclosure may comprise streaming media content to a display of a user and, receiving at least one query associated with a frame of the streamed media content. The techniques further comprise comparing the at least one query with metadata associated with the streamed media content to generate one or more results, and providing the one or more generated results to the display.

Abstract: A smart action system can provide a user with an improved experience by monitoring for one or more environmental parameters. The one or more environmental parameters can be associated with a smart action. The smart action can cause one or more actions such as a selection of one or more notifications and/or any other action associated with a network device. The smart action can, for example, change an aspect of a network device, such as to adjust a volume control, provide a reminder to a user regarding a schedule, such as related to a medicine or other health condition, and/or any other action.

Abstract: Techniques for efficient content delivery in an MABR system. Precisely, the disclosure recites a method comprising receiving, at an MABR client device, a manifest request from an ABR player, wherein the manifest request is initially redirected to the MABR client device by a rendezvous service upon updating the manifest request with a channel ID and an upstream CDN base information. The method further recites translating, by the MABR client device, the manifest request with a representation ID and obtaining a stream ID from the translated manifest request. The method further discloses performing look up in a cache for media content, requested in the translated manifest request, using the obtained stream ID.

The techniques further comprise comparing the at least one query with metadata associated with the streamed media content to generate one or more results, and providing the one or more generated results to the display.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are drawn to a digital rights management (DRM) server device for use with a stream of encoded audio/video data and an n×m array of client devices, n being a first positive integer, m being a second positive integer. Each client device being configured to display a respective display content, at least one of the n×m array of client devices being configured to play audio content. The DRM server device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory. This causes the DRM server device to register the n×m array of client devices, establish digital rights for the registered n×m array of client device, receive the stream of encoded audio/video data, and provide the stream of encoded audio/video data to the registered n×m array of client devices based on the established digital rights.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically distributing value received from the client for access to the media content is disclosed. The method comprises: defining a blockchain network, accepting a request for a media content transaction from the client, determining if the requested media content transaction complies with the value distribution agreement, and executing the requested media content transaction of the smart contract according to the determined compliance of the transaction with the value distribution agreement.
