Patent number: 11882322Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for managing content replacement in a content modification system, which can be applicable to dynamic advertisement insertion. A media device can provide a first segment of a linear sequence of content segments to a display device. The first segment can include an ending frame adjacent to a start frame of a second segment of the linear sequence of content segments, where the second segment is to be replaced by a replacement segment. Based on a determination that the replacement segment is unavailable, the media device can provide one or more additional copies of the ending frame of the first segment to the display device while the replacement segment to replace the second segment is unavailable.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Roku, Inc.Inventor: Matthew George Grover

Patent number: 11811838Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a characteristic for media content. A number of entropy slots is determined that is based on the characteristic for the media content. An entropy slot in the media content is where a segment from a first version of the media content or a second version of the media content can be delivered. The method creates the first version of the media content having a first number of segments and creates the second version of the media content having a second number of segments based on the number of entropy slots. The second number of segments that correspond to the number of entropy slots is less than the first number of segments. The first version of the media content and the second version of the media content is output to create different sequences of segments that are attributable to different requests.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: HULU, LLCInventor: Nicholas Brookins

Patent number: 11347431Abstract: The technology describes synchronization of writer and reader applications in a streaming data storage system, such as to facilitate a mode switch in which event writers can change event contents being appended to stream segments and event readers can process the event contents according to the new mode. A signal event is generated by a signaler for stream segments to which data event writes are being written, which changes the data writers' writing mode. The data storage system rejects appends of events after the signal that do not correspond to the new writing mode. The data storage system also writes a signal indicator to the segments being read at a location in each segment that is between the events written before the signal and the events written after the signal. Reader applications are synchronized based on encountering the signal indicator so as to appropriately switch to a new processing mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Mikhail Danilov, Andrei Paduroiu
