Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for semantic analysis and use of song lyrics in a media content environment. Semantic analysis is used to identify persons, events, themes, stories, or other meaningful information within a plurality of songs. Example use cases include the selection and delivery of media content in response to input searches for songs of a particular nature; the recommendation or suggestion of media content in social messaging or other environments; or the delivery of an advertisement content based on a matching of song lyrics with advertisement topic words.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for semantic analysis and use of song lyrics in a media content environment. Semantic analysis is used to identify persons, events, themes, stories, or other meaningful information within a plurality of songs. For each song, a story graph is generated which describes a narrative within that song's lyrics. The story graph is then used to determine a feature vector associated with the song's narrative. In response to receiving an input vector, for example as a search input for a particular song track, the input vector can be matched against feature vectors of the plurality of songs, to determine appropriate tracks. Example use cases include the selection and delivery of media content in response to input searches for songs of a particular nature, or the recommendation or suggestion of media content in social messaging or other environments.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a mobile device for facilitating inputting a command to a service application in the mobile device. The mobile device comprises an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The method comprises determining a time interval in which a user of the mobile device will agitate the mobile device in accordance with a command. The method also comprises filtering an information feed from the IMU during said time interval to remove signals which are outside of a predetermined spectrum and thus regarded as noise. The method comprises finding distinguishable signals within the filtered feed, said distinguishable signals forming a command pattern. The method comprises associating the command pattern with the command.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are a system and method for providing advertisement content in a media content or streaming environment. A media device, operating as a client device, can receive and play media content provided by a media server. An advertisement server can be used to determine advertisements or other promoted content to be delivered to the client in connection with the provided media content. An optimization service extends the advertisement server's in-built delivery optimization engine or functionality, for example by providing line-item tweaks to manipulate advertisement priority, effective price, or creative rotations; or by providing real-time bidding or pricing tweaks to allow content provider advertisements to compete dynamically with advertisements trafficked by the advertisement server. The advertisement delivery process can be adjusted for particular users, or to address behavioral attributes.
