Patent number: 11539987Abstract: One high-level aspect of a content-modification system and related methods may involve facilitating content modification by a content-presentation device of received broadcast content in a controlled manner, while under circumstances in which some events that can impact timing may be unpredictable. In particular, certain operations by a content-presentation device may involve matching received content with specific expected content as determined by one or another component of the content-modification system, in order to confirm proper conditions are met for the content-presentation device to proceed with, or continue, content-modification operations. It can happen the matching procedure becomes subject or susceptible to timing irregularities, or jitter. In some instances, jitter may impact the ability to derive the benefits of content modification. Accordingly, example embodiments herein are directed to systems and method for compensation and/or mitigating the effects of jitter.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: ROKU, INC.Inventors: Shashank Merchant, Bruce William Randall, Brian Johnson, Chungwon Seo, Seunghyeong Lee, Paul Jeffrey Holmquist
