Publication number: 20240114209Abstract: A system that handles delivery of a service through a client device or a secondary device paired with the client device, includes an interactive service provider and the client device. The interactive service provider inserts at least one of digital watermarks, fingerprints, and trigger identifiers at event opportunities in media content. The client device detects at least one of the inserted digital watermarks, the digital fingerprints, and the inserted trigger identifiers in the media content. The client device further renders overlay graphics on the media content and activates at least one of input devices in vicinity of the client device or the rendered overlay graphics. The client device receives trigger responses over an activated overlay graphic, via the activated input devices. The client device further displays an interactive view on the client device, to enable delivery of services in response to the received trigger responses.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J. Arnzen, Nicolas Paul Webb

Publication number: 20240064373Abstract: Provided is a system that identifies a tag in a media content of a media stream based on a user-attribute of a client device. A candidate time-period is identified in a playback duration of the media content based on the identified tag in the media content. Based on a degree of correlation between the identified tag in the media content and a corresponding context for the media content at the candidate time-period, an overlay-graphic item corresponding to the identified tag is presented at the candidate time-period in the media content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J. Arnzen, Nicolas Paul Webb

Publication number: 20240040193Abstract: A system is provided for concurrent presentation of non-programming media assets with programming media content at a client device. The client device receives a response for occurrence of an event opportunity point from the media presentation and distribution system based on a selection criteria for the event opportunity point. A display view of the client device is modified, and a non-programming media asset is presented from a second media stream for a defined duration and different version of the programming media content in first partition, concurrently with the programming media content over second partition. The different version of the programming media content corresponds to the programming media content encoded based on a region within the modified display view allocated to the first partition. The presentation is based on user preference for specific item in the programming media content and user selection of the non-programming media asset displayed in past engagement.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J Arnzen, Nicolas Paul Webb

Publication number: 20240031649Abstract: Provided is a system that includes a circuit to generate an interactive item based on a request received from a first distribution network or a second distribution network. The interactive item is overlaid over a media item present in media content. The circuit then activates the generated interactive item overlaid over the media item of the media content. Further, the circuit receives an event trigger, from a client application engine operational on a user device associated with a user, for a selection of the activated interactive item. A personalized list is generated for the event trigger for the selection of the interactive item. Further, the generated personalized list is transmitted for a display for a defined time duration, to one of the first distribution network, the second distribution network or the client application engine operational on the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J Amzen, Nicolas Paul Webb

Patent number: 11856263Abstract: A media presentation and distribution system includes a verification server that handles dynamic verification of playback of media assets on a client device. The client device generates support information for a media asset based on an associated asset identifier that is detected during a playback of the media asset on a client device. The client device further encrypts the support information for the media asset based on a client private key associated with the client device and an asset public key for the media asset. The playback of the media asset on the client device is verified based on a verification message, the support information, an encrypted verification message, and the associated asset identifier. A defined asset delivery criteria is satisfied and a deviation or an error with the playback of the media asset is identified based on the verification of the playback of the media asset.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J Arnzen, Nicolas Paul Webb

Publication number: 20230412883Abstract: A system identifies a candidate time interval in programming media content for a playback of a media content along with the programming media content. The identification is based on an analysis of a request received from a client device. The media content is based on user intent information and a plurality of targeting parameters associated with a user. Based on a specified version of the programming media content currently played at the client device, the media content is modified. Personalized media content corresponding to the candidate time interval in the programming media content is generated based on the modified media content and one or more constraints associated with the user. The personalized media content is presented along with a modified display view of the programming media content at the candidate time interval.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J.

Publication number: 20230156278Abstract: A system is provided that receives a request based on a detection of at least one of digital fingerprints and digital watermarks in media content. The system searches for one of fingerprint information or watermark information in a registry for the at least one of the digital watermarks or the digital fingerprints in the media content, based on analysis of at least one of a context, a user preference, or a defined goal of different segments in programming media content and non-programming media content of the media content. The fingerprint information or the watermark information enables the first processor to keep track of a user engagement with the media content. The fingerprint information or the watermark information is transmitted to a client device. Delivery of a service is enabled by a second processor of the client device via a fulfilment server to perform an action on the non-programming media content.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Donald Jude Loheide, Matthew Paul Giles, Gregory McClain Stigall, Nishith Kumar Sinha, Cindy Loren Campbell, James J.
