In one example, initial hierarchical data may be provided from the at least one buffer to a device, followed by additional hierarchical data. In one example, the data is received into the at least one buffer via a multicast connection, and the data is provided to the device via a point-to-point connection. | 01-10-2013 |
20130024293 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OFFERING AND BILLING ADVERTISEMENT OPPORTUNITIES - In various example embodiments, a system and method for offering and billing advertisement opportunities are provided. In example embodiments, an advertisement opportunity in media to be communicated to a user device associated with a viewer is identified. Attributes of the advertisement opportunity are determined. Based on these attributes, a value to assign to the advertisement opportunity is determined. The advertisement opportunity is offered to a potential advertiser based on the assigned value determined using the attributes of the advertisement opportunity. | 01-24-2013 |
20130031582 | AUTOMATIC LOCALIZATION OF ADVERTISEMENTS - In various example embodiments, a system and method for automatic localization of advertisements is provided. In example embodiments, a transmission signal is received. A portion of the transmission signal is identified. A determination of whether localized advertisement data corresponds to the identified portion is performed. Localized advertisement data that correspond to the identified portion of the transmission signal is retrieved. The localized advertisement data is then inserted into the identified portion of the transmission signal to generate an altered signal. The altered signal is transmitted to a user device. | 01-31-2013 |
20130219427 | DYNAMIC SCHEDULING FOR ADVANCED ADVERTISING IN LINEAR TELEVISION - In example embodiments, a system and method for dynamically scheduling advertising is provided. For example, an advertisement order that describes an advertising campaign in logical terms is received. Stored data of statistically sampled metrics associated with previously distributed programs may be accessed. Based on the stored data and requirements indicated in the advertisement order, the logical terms of the advertising campaign may be translated into physical parameters adapted to facilitate placement of advertisements into an advertising schedule. The physical parameters of the advertising campaign may be provided to a device for creating the advertising schedule. | 08-22-2013 |

20140304424 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DATA TRANSMISSION - Example methods and systems for transmitting data are presented. In one example, a plurality of streams of video data may be received from at least one data source into at least one buffer of a router. Each of the streams of video data may represent a same video program wherein each of the streams of video data may correspond to a unique visual resolution relative to at least some other streams, and wherein each of the streams of video data may include a plurality of contiguous, non-overlapping portions of video data. A request may be received from a device to transmit a single one of the portions of video data to the device. In response to the request, a portion of one of the streams of video data may be transmitted from the at least one buffer of the router to the device. | 10-09-2014 |
20140337136 | AD SCHEDULING - An advertisement scheduling machine may be configured to facilitate scheduling of one or more advertisements. As configured, the advertisement scheduling machine may cause presentation of a graphical user interface that displays multiple timeslots available for scheduling advertisements. The advertisement scheduling machine detects that an advertisement has been selected from multiple advertisements available for scheduling, and the selected advertisement may be unscheduled in any of the displayed timeslots. The advertisement scheduling machine accesses a scheduling rule associated with the selected advertisement and determines that the selected advertisement is schedulable in only a portion of the displayed timeslots and not a remainder of them, in accordance with the scheduling rule. The advertisement scheduling machine then causes the graphical user interface to indicate that the selected advertisement is schedulable in only the portion of the timeslots but not in the remainder. | 11-13-2014 |
20140365299 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ADVERTISING CONSISTENCY - In example embodiments, a system and method for providing advertising consistency is provided. In example embodiments, identifying information for a primary advertisement that is presented on a primary device is received. A secondary advertisement that is consistent with the primary advertisement is determined. The secondary advertisement is to be presented on a secondary device at a same time that the primary advertisement is presented on the primary device. The secondary advertisement is provided to the secondary device. | 12-11-2014 |
