  • Patent number: 9525900
    Abstract: A system and method for managing video data and metadata associated with the video data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a content management system receives video data and metadata associated with the video data, such as a title, a thumbnail image and a subject matter identifier. Instructions for a media player used to present the video data using a destination site are also generated to simplify distribution of the video data to one or more destination sites. The content management system further enables a user to edit the stored video data to customize placements of advertisements or other data within the video data by identifying one or more cue points in the video data. A data store is coupled to the content management system to store the video data and the metadata associated with the video data.

  • Patent number: 9398348
    Abstract: Metadata associated with video data by a content management system is transmitted to one or more advertising servers to tailor advertisements, or other data, presented in addition to the video data. In one embodiment, a user specifies the metadata associated with the video data, and the management system communicates the metadata to one or more advertising servers. Responsive to a user changing a subset of the metadata using the content management system, the changed subset of the metadata is communicated to the one or more advertising servers, which modify advertisements associated with the video data responsive to the changed metadata. Hence, changes to metadata associated with video data are pushed from the management system to an advertising server, allowing the advertising server to more quickly modify the advertisements associated with the video data.

  • Publication number: 20150208127
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method including receiving programming data from programming data stores, each of the received programming data having a data store identification, converting each of the programming data to a common data format, the common data format being different than a data formats of the received data, maintaining a list of unique identifications of converted programming data, associating converted like programming data received from the programming data stores with one of the unique identifications, wherein like programming data received from different programming data stores is associated with the same program content, selecting one of the programming data stores associated with the like programming data as a programming data source for each of the associated unique identifications, and generating a unified view of the converted programming data including each of the associated unique identifications and each of the selected data sources.
