Patent number: 11089345Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for programmatic generation of media content digests includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a media content digest software code. The hardware processor executes the media content digest software code to identify a media content for use in generating a content digest, the media content including a timecode of the media content, to access a metadata describing the media content and indexed to the timecode, and to identify one or more constraints for the content digest. In addition, the hardware processor executes the media content digest software code to programmatically extract content segments from the media content using the metadata indexed to the timecode and based on the one or more constraints, and to generate the content digest based on the media content from the content segments.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: John M.

Patent number: 11064268Abstract: According to one implementation, a media content annotation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a first version of media content and a second version of the media content altered with respect to the first version, and to map each of multiple segments of the first version of the media content to a corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content. The software code further aligns each of the segments of the first version of the media content with its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content, and utilizes metadata associated with each of at least some of the segments of the first version of the media content to annotate its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Miquel Angel Farre Guiu, Matthew C.

Patent number: 10817565Abstract: A media content tagging system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a tag selector software code configured to receive media content having segments, each segment including multiple content elements each associated with metadata tags having respective pre-computed confidence scores. For each content element, the tag selector software code assigns each of the metadata tags to at least one tag group, determines a confidence score for each tag group based on the pre-computed confidence scores of its assigned metadata tags, discards tag groups having less than a minimum number of assigned metadata tags, and filters the reduced number of tag groups based on the second confidence score to identify a further reduced number of tag groups. The tag selector software code then selects at least one representative tag group for a segment from among the further reduced number of tag groups.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Miquel Angel Farre Guiu, Matthew Petrillo, Monica Alfaro, Pablo Beltran Sanchidrian, Marc Junyent Martin, Evan A.

Patent number: 10754712Abstract: In various embodiments, a broker application automatically allocates tasks to application programming interfaces (APIs) in microservice architectures. After receiving a task from a client application, the broker application performs operation(s) on content associated with the task to compute predicted performance data for multiple APIs. The broker application then determines that a first API included in the APIs should process the first task based on the predicted performance data. The broker application transmits an API request associated with the first task to the first API for processing. After receiving a result associated with the first task from the first API, the client application performs operation(s) based on the result.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Charles Petrillo, Monica Alfaro Vendrell, Marc Junyent Martin, Anthony M.

Patent number: 10747801Abstract: There is provided a media content ontology system and method. The system includes a computing platform having a processor and a memory, a content genome database stored in the memory, and ontology software for execution by the processor. The ontology software is configured to map a media content asset to first and second content classifications based on respective first and second data, and to generate first and second content genome database entries associating the media content asset with other, correspondingly mapped, media content assets. In addition, the ontology software is configured to cross-index the first and second content genome database entries to enable identification of each of the first and second content classifications and the media content asset based on any one of the first or second content classifications or the media content asset.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Anthony M.

The broker application transmits an API request associated with the first task to the first API for processing. After receiving a result associated with the first task from the first API, the client application performs operation(s) based on the result.. Advantageously, because the broker application automatically allocates the first task to the first API based on the content, time and resource inefficiencies are reduced compared to prior art approaches that indiscriminately allocate tasks to APIs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Matthew Charles PETRILLO, Monica ALFARO VENDRELL, Marc JUNYENT MARTIN, Anthony M.
