Proxy file pointer method for redirecting access for incompatible file formats

Номер: US20120165965A1
Автор: Robert S. Robinson
Принадлежит: Robinson Robert S

A media file playback system, method and computer readable medium which provides for the playback of a media file (e.g., audio files, video files, etc.) through a separate media organizer (e.g., Apple's iTunes®, Windows® Media Player, etc.) when the target media file is in a format that is incompatible with the media organizer (e.g., the Free Audio Lossless Codec files or FLAC format). The media file playback system generates a “proxy” pointer file that is compatible with the media organizer and prompts the system to play the incompatible media file. Advantageously, a user that would otherwise be unable to playback an incompatible file through the media organizer due to limitations of the media organizer (e.g., the restriction against playing FLAC files through the Apple iTunes® software application), is able to execute playback using the media file playback system via interactions with the familiar and centralized interface provided the media organizer.

An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped; the ad is unskippable. This technique is referred to as “bounceback” since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, it is moved to after the end of the skip. This technique is referred to as “slip-ad” since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic. 1. A method for guaranteed play of content , the method comprising:receiving, at a point in playing a video on a user device by a video player executing on a processor, a skip command to omit playing a first portion of the video that includes first content and second content;determining, by the video player, that the first content cannot be moved from the first portion of the video and that the second content comprises a proxy movable from the first portion of the video;determining, by the video player, a start of the first content;moving, by the video player, the proxy from the first portion of the video to a location in a second portion of the video subsequent to the first portion of the video; andresuming play of the video beginning at the start of the first content and prior to the location of the proxy in the second portion of the video to ensure that the first content and the second content are played on the user device.2.

An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped; the ad is unskippable. This technique is referred to as “bounceback” since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, it is moved to after the end of the skip. This technique is referred to as “slip-ad” since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic. 1receiving a command to advance the play of a video to a slip location in the video that skips a proxy advertisement in the video, the receiving performed by a video player device having a transcoder embodied in at least one physical unit;responsive to the command to advance the play of the video to the slip location, moving the proxy advertisement to the slip location in the video, the moving performed by the video player device, the proxy advertisement including an ad request, wherein the video player device sends the ad request to an advertisement server and receives an advertisement from the advertisement server; anddelivering the advertisement from the advertisement server to the slip location in the video indicated by the proxy advertisement, the delivering performed by the video player device, the video player device to play the advertisement at the slip location..

MOVIE ADVERTISING PLAYBACK SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Номер: US20140241700A1
Принадлежит: Open Text S.A.

An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer of the movie wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, then only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped, that is, the ad is unskippable; this technique is referred to as “bounceback” since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, then the ad is moved to after the end of the skip; this technique is referred to as “slipad” since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic. 1. A method for ensuring that an advertisement is played in a video , comprising:receiving at a video server an instruction to advance a video to a forward location in the video subsequent to a current playing location in the video, an advertisement predetermined to be played in the video at a location between the current playing location and the forward location;determining a slip location at which to advance play of the advertisement in the video, the slip location equal to the forward location or any location subsequent to the forward location; andadvancing the current playing location in the video to the forward location and playing the advertisement at the slip location.2.

For a given item of media material, the UMID remains unchanged and uniquely identifies the item when such a file is imported or accessed multiple times. The UMID may be generated by hashing together selected portions of the metadata and essence of the media file. The amount of metadata and essence sampled is chosen to provide a high degree of assurance that the UMID will be unique, but is kept small enough so as to avoid causing a perceptible lag when the UMID is generated.

Номер: US20170223391A1
Принадлежит:

An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped; the ad is unskippable. This technique is referred to as “bounceback” since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, it is moved to after the end of the skip. This technique is referred to as “slip-ad” since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic. 1. A method of video production , comprising:receiving a command to advance the play of a video to a slip location in the video that skips a proxy advertisement in the video, the receiving performed by a video player device having a transcoder embodied in at least one physical unit;responsive to the command to advance the play of the video to the slip location, moving the proxy advertisement to the slip location in the video, the moving performed by the video player device, the proxy advertisement including an ad request, wherein the video player device sends the ad request to an advertisement server and receives an advertisement from the advertisement server; anddelivering the advertisement from the advertisement server to the slip location in the video indicated by the proxy advertisement, the delivering performed by the video player device, the video player device to play the advertisement at the slip location.2.

Methods and systems for generating and applying scene-stable metadata for a video data stream are disclosed herein. A video data stream is divided or partitioned into scenes and a first set of metadata may be generated for a given scene of video data. The first set of metadata may be any known metadata as a desired function of video content (e.g., luminance). The first set of metadata may be generated on a frame-by-frame basis. In one example, scene-stable metadata may be generated that may be different from the first set of metadata for the scene. The scene-stable metadata may be generated by monitoring a desired feature with the scene and may be used to keep the desired feature within an acceptable range of values.
