Patent number: 11812113Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for redirecting to content after an interruption includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a content redirection software code. The hardware processor executes the content redirection software code to track a playout status of a primary content being provided by the system, and detect a pause to playout of the primary content due to receipt of an interrupt content by the system. In addition, the hardware processor executes the content redirection software code to, during playout of the interrupt content by the system, save the playout status of the primary content at the pause. The hardware processor further executes the content redirection software code to detect completion of interrupt content playout by the system, and enable a return to the primary content after the pause.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Vladislav Feldman, Michael J.

Patent number: 10812839Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for automatically generating a recorded version of a live video program. A live program extraction application executing on a live program extraction system receives an automation list associated with the live video program from a traffic and automation system and an integration message associated with the live video program from an integration control system. The live program extraction application generates a first data entry that includes a timecode based on at least one of the automation list and the integration message. The live program extraction application stores the first data entry into a data record associated with the live video program. The live program extraction application transmits the data record to a broadcast system. The broadcast system automatically replaces a portion of the recorded version of the live video program based on the timecode included in the first data entry.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Vladislav Feldman, Joseph Kenny, Michael Strein

Patent number: 10791047Abstract: A network navigation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a routing software code, and communicatively coupled to multiple hardware nodes of a communication network. The hardware processor executes the routing software code to monitor performance data for each hardware node, identify a network destination for a content stream, identify a source hardware node for providing source content of the content stream based on the performance data, and identify hardware transmission nodes for delivery of the content stream based on the performance data. The source and transmission nodes determine a first network route for delivery of the content stream. The routing software code also receives test data for the first network route during delivery of the content stream, and determines a second network route for delivery of the content stream if the test data fails to meet a predetermined test standard.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprise Inc.Inventors: Efthimis Stefanidis, Vladislav Feldman, Michael J.

Patent number: 10791378Abstract: In one embodiment, a change over application distributes video content received from multiple origination sources. The change over application computes a first score based on a portion of first origination video content received from a first origination source, where the first origination source is associated with a first IP address. The change over application then determines a second origination source of second origination video content based on the first score and a selection criterion, where the second origination source is associated with a second IP address. Subsequently, the change over application transmits portions of the second origination video content received from the second origination source to the destination as portions of the distribution video content. Advantageously, unlike previous approaches to optimizing distribution video content, because a processor executes the change over application, dedicated hardware is not required.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Michael Strein, Efthimis Stefanidis, Vladislav Feldman

Patent number: 10764611Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a content distribution system that verifies a media presentation (or portions thereof) using a broadcast schedule. In one embodiment, the content verification system evaluates the media presentation to identify a unique identification data for the presentation such as a fingerprint or watermark. Using the broadcast schedule, the content verification system can identify what content the media presentation should (or is expected) to contain. The content verification system can retrieve a previously stored unique identifier from a database corresponding to the content identified using the broadcast schedule. If the stored unique identifier matches the unique identifier derived by the content verification system, the system verifies the content in the media presentation is correct. The verified media presentation can then be transmitted to a content distribution network—e.g., a broadcast network or video-on-demand provider.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Efthimis Stefanidis, Vladislav Feldman, Michael J.
