  • Patent number: 10839573
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a content integration system. The content integration system is configured to retrieve a source digital content, retrieve a target digital content, identify a region within the target digital content for placing or integrating the source digital content, and place or integrate the target digital content onto the identified region of the source digital content. The content integration system can be configured to place the source digital content into the target digital content in an aesthetically-pleasing, unobtrusive, engaging, and/or otherwise favorable manner. The content integration system can be particularly useful for advertisements, enhanced expression, entertainment, information, or communication.

  • Patent number: 10522186
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for digital content integration. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a target digital content item that includes a plurality of frames, identifying a set of candidate host frames for inserting source digital content items from the plurality of frames based on one or more attributes of the target digital content item, determining a candidate score for each respective candidate host frame of the candidate host frames, and generating host time defining data including identifications and the candidate scores of the candidate host frames, where the candidate score indicates a degree of transition of the target digital content item at the candidate host frame. One or more candidate host frames are then selected based on the candidate scores for inserting one or more source digital content items into the target digital content item.

  • Patent number: 9106760
    Abstract: An electronic device such as a smart phone, in combination with an application program residing at least partially therein and run at least partially thereby effectively enables selective retroactive recording to capture already-passed audible events when an audible trigger is recognized. When used in conjunction with an internet-based social media network or an interested contact list, audible events that meet certain pre-determined criteria may be automatically shared.
