  • Patent number: 12244883
    Abstract: A system is provided for generating a live output stream manifest based on an event. Each of a set of discrete service engines ingest a portion of a programming schedule comprising a playlist of media content. Based on processing of source manifests encapsulated by the media content, a collection of disparate manifest units is obtained. The collection of disparate manifest units is stored as indexed disparate manifest units in a data store based on a set of indexing parameters. Based on an event including a set of indexed disparate manifest units retrieved from the data store, a live output stream manifest is generated during a current iteration in response to a client request comprising a set of client request parameters. The retrieval of the set of indexed disparate manifest units is performed just-in-time based on a query that corresponds to the set of client request parameters.

  • Patent number: 12219213
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12192579
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250008175
    Abstract: A system is provided for publishing a plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests using live input streams and pre-encoded media assets. A first instruction, comprising input manifest locations, is allocated to a first worker based on an instruction type and a priority level. At least one of a first manifest data or a second manifest data is read by the first worker from a corresponding input manifest location. A second instruction is allocated to a second worker. A next manifest segment is inserted to a disparate live output stream manifest by the second worker based on reading an ingested manifest metadata. Accordingly, a plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests is generated for each of a plurality of channels based on the disparate live output stream manifest.

  • Publication number: 20240422203
    Abstract: A system is provided for establishing a shared media session for client devices that receives event data and media corresponding to a shared media session and previous shared media sessions from a recording client device communicably coupled to a distributed communication network. A persistent record of the event data and media is generated until the shared media session is terminated by at least one of a first client device or by abandonment of the distributed communication network by the first client device and by second client devices. A new disparate live media output stream is generated with multiple distinct channels based on augmentation of a disparate live media output stream in the shared media session. The augmentation is based on an interaction from a user on actions in the shared media session.

  • Publication number: 20240422389
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12167054
    Abstract: A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes media segments corresponding to key events. A live production and playout system of disparate sub-systems is synchronized to a reference clock. A timecode from the reference clock is used as a reference time to log content related to key events that occur within the live production and playout system. A live event logging system is synchronized to the reference clock same as the live production and playout system. Based on location of the live event logging system, a time offset is introduced to compensate for a delay. When delay is variable, the reference clock is decoded from a live input stream to associate each key event with a corresponding timecode. Based on a programming schedule comprising the key events that occurred in the live input stream, the disparate live media output stream manifest is published.

  • Publication number: 20240406238
    Abstract: A system is provided for generating a live media segment asset. Manifest data and indexed metadata are inserted to a live media segment asset manifest based on an identifier in a received request. The indexed metadata is associated with a media segment from an indexed media content referenced in a first programming schedule. A live media segment asset is generated based on a context parameter and the insertion of the manifest data and the indexed metadata. The indexed media content is referenced by the identifier for the generation of the live media segment asset.

  • Publication number: 20240340474
    Abstract: A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes one or more media segments corresponding to key events. A play time of pre-produced media asset metadata is converted to a reference time of a reference clock based on normalized event metadata. The normalized event metadata references time is provided by the reference clock and a plurality of play events from a live playout and production system. Start and end messages for publishing the normalized event metadata are transmitted each time a pre-produced media asset is started and stopped during a playout in a disparate live media output stream. The normalized event metadata is published based on conversion of timestamps for one or more key events to the reference time of the reference clock.
