IPC Code(s): H04N21/234, H04N21/258, H04N21/81
CPC Code(s): H04N21/23424
Abstract: a computer system determines one or more media placement opportunities for a media application at a client device and generates a request message that includes an indication of each media placement opportunity. the request message has a hierarchical framework with a plurality of levels that includes, for each media placement opportunity: (i) a media application context level; and (ii) a sub-context level. the computer system transmits the request message to a server system; and receives, from the server system, a response to the request message that includes one or more media content items selected based on the information included in the hierarchical framework of the request message. the computer system provides, to the media application at the client device, at least one of the one or more media content items within at least one of the media placement opportunities.

IPC Code(s): H04N21/472, H04N21/845
CPC Code(s): H04N21/47217
Abstract: systems and methods for skipping to playback positions in media content using seek guides are provided. seek guides may be associated with a media content item. each seek guide may have a position and a radius. when a user skips to a reference position, a seek guide selector may select a seek guide to use in setting a new playback position. the seek guide selector may use a probabilistic distribution positioned based on the reference position to select a seek guide. probabilities may be calculated for each seek guide using a cumulative distribution function, and the seek guides may be ranked based on the calculated probabilities. a seek guide may be selected based on the ranking, and a new playback position may be set based on the position of the selected seek guide.
