  • Patent number: 11960509
    Abstract: Media content may be recommended based on feedback weightings. Input data describing the presentation of a media content items in association with content management accounts may be represented as data points. Each data point may identify feedback data for a media content item previously recommended for presentation in association with a content management account. The feedback data may identify a viewer reaction to the recommended media content item. A weighting factor based on the feedback data for the media content item presented in association with the content management account may be applied to produce a recommendation.

  • Patent number: 9491406
    Abstract: Techniques allow seamless transitioning of a mesh-based videoconference to a bridged videoconference. Criteria are defined for use in a triggering point function that may be evaluated to determine whether to make the transition. Escalation logic in an escalation manager may be used to manage the transition, allowing some participants to connect via a multipoint control unit, which is in turn a participant in the mesh-based videoconference, with the escalation manager relaying media streams from the mesh-connected participants. The mesh-connected participants may then drop their mesh connections without disruption to the videoconference. Escalation logic in the endpoints may be used as an alternate to an escalation manager unit.

  • Publication number: 20150058903
    Abstract: Geographic context may be used to recommend media content items for consumption by users of a media content management system. A request for a media content recommendation may be associated with a content management account and a geographic location. The media content management system may determine whether the geographic location includes individuals who are not associated with the content management account. If the geographic location includes such individuals, the system may recommend content suitable for sharing such as games, music playlists, movies, or television programs.
