Techniques for reducing resources used for uploading a video to be indexed for searching at a cloud search service are provided. A file containing the video is received at an on premise client application. The application processes the file with an event detector to detect at least one event of interest based on a first set of event detection criteria. The at least one event of interest is sent to the cloud searching service. The cloud searching service classifies at least one object in the at least one event of interest. The cloud searching service identifies a second set of event identification criteria based on the classification. The cloud searching service sends feedback to the application for event detection and sending events based on the second set of event identifying criteria. The application modifies the first event detection criteria based on the feedback to create new event detection criteria.

A media content item is evaluated for its 'sentiment states.' That is, segments of the content item are determined to be, for example, 'happy,' &#x201c;exciting,&#x201d; &#x201c;sad,&#x201d; &#x201c;funny,&#x201d; and the like. A &#x201c;sentiment map&#x201d; is created that delimits segments of the content item and contains the sentiment-state keywords associated with the segments. Some maps include an amplitude for each assigned sentiment keyword and a confidence value for the segment delimitation and for each keyword. As an exemplary use of the sentiment map, an advertisement broker matches the sentiments of his advertisement offerings with segments of a content item in order to place appropriate advertisements at times when they would be most favorably received. In another example, a recommender system recommends to a user a content item whose sentiment map compares favorably to that of a content item already enjoyed by the user.

Sentiment mapping in a media content item

A method for creating derivative advertisements is provided. The method includes identifying a visual element based on an analysis of a primary advertisement asset such that the visual element is representative of a branding message provided within the primary advertisement. The method also includes identifying a call-to-action (CTA) data element based on the analysis and creating a derivative advertisement asset having the visual element and CTA data element. A system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing software for executing the method are also provided.

A first screen schedule for the linear delivery of video content is received and analyzed. The first screen schedule may include slots in which first screen advertisements could be displayed. Particular embodiments can then determine the feasibility of providing second screen advertisements based on the first screen schedule. Then, second screen advertisements that advertisers wish to display in conjunction with first screen advertisements are determined. When the linear delivery of the video content commences, particular embodiments monitor a messaging stream associated with the delivery of the video content. When an ad placement marker is encountered, an ad server may select a first screen advertisement. When the first screen advertisement is placed, the messaging stream identifies a first screen advertisement that is delivered. If the first screen advertisement has a corresponding second screen advertisement, particular embodiments output the second screen advertisement on a second screen environment.

Second screen advertisement correlation using scheduling information for first screen advertisements

An advertisement system includes an advertising manager that receives a content-event indicator, which indicates playback of an advertisement for viewing on a first display screen at a media-playback device or indicates playback of recorded content that includes advertisements. The advertising manager can determine an optimal time offset as a duration of time before or after playback of an advertisement to the start of an event that is associated with the advertisement for viewing on a second display screen at a mobile device. For recorded content, an optimization schedule is determined that replaces and time-shifts advertisements during playback of the recorded content. The advertising manager can also determine a fulfillment criterion for a product or service based on latency constraints to indicate a duration of time within which fulfillment of the product or service is expected when offered as a second advertisement corresponding to a first advertisement.

Attention-based advertisement scheduling in time-shifted content

Particular embodiments provide a system to support orchestration of media assets that are delivered across multiple media spaces, time, and multiple device types in a coordinated manner. The system exposes a sequence of media assets to a user under media space, time, and device constraints. A campaign may be broken up into multiple media assets (e.g., different creatives, such as advertisement creatives). To target a user across different media spaces, the system may generate spanning rules based on metadata concerning multiple media spaces, time, and multiple device types for the campaign. An analytics service may provide analytics information for the delivered media assets to allow the coordination to continue in the sequence. Also, the analytics information may be used to change the spanning rules for future delivery of media assets.

Asset orchestration across multiple device types, media spaces, and time

Particular embodiments take first screen media assets and can derive second screen appropriate media assets. Then, particular embodiments may determine a target application for the second screen media assets. Layout characteristics for the target application is determined. Particular embodiments correlate the layout characteristics and the second screen media assets to select a second screen media asset for the target application. The correlation may generate scores based on the second screen media assets and the layout characteristics to determine a best fit of a second screen media asset for the target application. Then, the second screen media asset may be transcoded based on the characteristics of the target application or target device. After transcoding, particular embodiments may create a view of the second screen media asset in the target application, such as an overlay of the second screen media asset over a screen capture of the target application.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for triggering (i.e., initiating, launching, or running) a software application (e.g., an interactive game application) or other computer program or application on a user device (e.g., a computer, etc.) based on multimedia content being provided to (e.g., displayed on) a different user device (e.g., a different computer, a television, etc.). The methods may comprise displaying, using a first device, multimedia content. A multimedia-analysis process may then be performed to determine an attribute of the multimedia content being displayed. These attributes may be used to acquire (e.g., select or produce) a software application comprising one or more elements that relate to the multimedia content. The software application may then be launched (i.e., triggered, initiated, or run) on a second device, the second device being different from the first device.
