Abstract: A device can obtain historical accident data identifying accidents within a geographic region. The device can classify geographic areas within the geographic region as being sparse accident-prone zones (APZs) or dense APZs by processing the historical accident data using a clustering technique and clustering parameters. The device can generate data identifying geographic boundaries of the sparse APZs and the dense APZs. The device can provide the data identifying the geographic boundaries to be stored using a data structure. The device can receive telematics data associated with a vehicle within the geographic region. The device can determine whether the vehicle is in or approaching a particular APZ based on whether a location of the vehicle is within the particular APZ or based on whether the vehicle is likely to enter the particular APZ. The device can provide an alert to the vehicle or a user device associated with the vehicle.

Abstract: A microservice monitoring platform can determine a service health status for a microservice based on a service type associated with the microservice. The microservice can be hosted in a first cloud computing environment by a first data center. The microservice monitoring platform can determine a feature health status for a cloud-based feature based on the service health status for the microservice, wherein the cloud-based feature is hosted in the first cloud computing environment by the first data center and uses the microservice. The microservice monitoring platform can transmit, based on the feature health status, an instruction to route a service request, associated with the cloud-based feature, to one of the first data center or a second data center that hosts the cloud-based feature in a second cloud computing environment.

Abstract: A device includes a display unit that displays a tile display comprising multiple rows and columns of tiles upon a display unit of a device, wherein each of the tiles represents an item of content or a group of items of content. The device associates multiple different linear axes with the tile display, wherein the multiple different linear axes intersect at a center tile of the tile display and wherein multiple different properties are associated with the center tile. The device receives user input associated with selecting one of the linear axes of the tile display; identifies a search parameter based on the selected one of the linear axes and based on at least one of the multiple different properties associated with the center tile; and causes the tile display to include search results resulting from a search of the content catalog with the identified search parameter.

Abstract: A device includes a display unit that displays a tile display comprising multiple rows and columns of tiles upon a display unit of a device, wherein each of the tiles represents an item of content or a group of items of content. The device associates multiple different linear axes with the tile display, wherein the multiple different linear axes intersect at a center tile of the tile display and wherein multiple different properties are associated with the center tile. The device receives user input associated with selecting one of the linear axes of the tile display; identifies a search parameter based on the selected one of the linear axes and based on at least one of the multiple different properties associated with the center tile; and causes the tile display to include search results resulting from a search of the content catalog with the identified search parameter.

Abstract: Parameters associated with client devices may be determined, and a subset of the parameters associated with a particular client device may be identified. The subset of the parameters may include information related to hardware, software, and/or an identifier associated with the particular client device. A template associated with requesting a web service may be populated based on the subset of the parameters to form a web services request associated with the particular client device. The web service may be requested using the services request. A response to the services request, related to providing the web service to the particular client device, may be received, and the response may be evaluated with respect to the subset of the parameters, to determine whether the web service is compatible with the particular client device.

Abstract: A device obtains an on-demand catalog associated with an on-demand media service, a broadcast schedule associated with a broadcast media service, and a status associated with a media client. Based on information contained in the status and information contained in the broadcast schedule, the device identifies a media content being played by the media client using the broadcast media service. Based information contained in the on-demand catalog, the device further identifies an on-demand option for playing the media content using the on-demand media service. The device provides, to the media client, a suggestion, identifying the on-demand option, which permits a user, of the media client, to play the media content using the on-demand media service.

Abstract: A method includes receiving at least one manifest file, playlists and video chunks for at least one channel of a live media stream. The method includes validating, by a processing device, the live media stream to ensure that the at least one manifest file, the playlists and the video chunks are available. Validating the live media stream includes determining whether the at least one live media stream complies with at least one predetermined standard. The method includes validating the live media stream to ensure that the files are not stale and live. The method also includes validating the live media stream to ensure that the video chunks are properly sequenced, and validating the live media stream based on Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) headers for the video chunks to determine whether errors are received associated with the live video stream.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes a media content delivery system generating a supplemental content stream associated with a primary media content stream, the supplemental content stream including one or more supplemental content instances temporally aligned with one or more content moments in a media program represented by the primary media content stream, and facilitating concurrent streaming of the primary media content stream and the supplemental content stream to a media content access device, the streams configured for concurrent presentation by the media content access device in a user interface. A presentation of the supplemental content stream in the user interface may be transparent to a user during a presentation of a segment of the media program that is not part of the one or more content moments in the media program and visible to the user during the presentation of the one or more content moments in the media program.
