DELIVERY OF DIFFERENT SERVICES THROUGH DIFFERENT CLIENT DEVICES
A system that handles delivery of a service through a client device or a secondary device paired with the client device, includes an interactive service provider and the client device. The interactive service provider inserts at least one of digital watermarks, fingerprints, and trigger identifiers at event opportunities in media content. The client device detects at least one of the inserted digital watermarks, the digital fingerprints, and the inserted trigger identifiers in the media content. The client device further renders overlay graphics on the media content and activates at least one of input devices in vicinity of the client device or the rendered overlay graphics. The client device receives trigger responses over an activated overlay graphic, via the activated input devices. The client device further displays an interactive view on the client device, to enable delivery of services in response to the received trigger responses.

A display view of the client device is modified, and a non-programming media asset is presented from a second media stream for a defined duration and different version of the programming media content in first partition, concurrently with the programming media content over second partition. The different version of the programming media content corresponds to the programming media content encoded based on a region within the modified display view allocated to the first partition. The presentation is based on user preference for specific item in the programming media content and user selection of the non-programming media asset displayed in past engagement.

PUBLISHING A DISPARATE LIVE MEDIA OUTPUT STREAM MANIFEST THAT INCLUDES ONE OR MORE MEDIA SEGMENTS CORRESPONDING TO KEY EVENTS
A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes media segments corresponding to key events. A live production and playout system of disparate sub-systems is synchronized to a reference clock. A timecode from the reference clock is used as a reference time to log content related to key events that occur within the live production and playout system. A live event logging system is synchronized to the reference clock same as the live production and playout system. Based on location of the live event logging system, a time offset is introduced to compensate for a delay. When delay is variable, the reference clock is decoded from a live input stream to associate each key event with a corresponding timecode. Based on a programming schedule comprising the key events that occurred in the live input stream, the disparate live media output stream manifest is published.

Further, the circuit receives an event trigger, from a client application engine operational on a user device associated with a user, for a selection of the activated interactive item. A personalized list is generated for the event trigger for the selection of the interactive item. Further, the generated personalized list is transmitted for a display for a defined time duration, to one of the first distribution network, the second distribution network or the client application engine operational on the user device.

SYSTEM FOR ESTABLISHING A SHARED MEDIA SESSION FOR ONE OR MORE CLIENT DEVICES
A system is provided for establishing a shared media session for client devices that receives event data and media corresponding to a shared media session and previous shared media sessions from a recording client device communicably coupled to a distributed communication network.

A system is provided for dynamic scheduling and channel creation based on external data. Audience-based parameters comprising demographics data, targeted audience data, device type data, and trending information that includes media items based on current trend in social network platform are received from external data source. A media item to be inserted in first media feed of first channel is determined based on a plurality of pre-encoded media content, metadata, audience-based parameters and defined parameters. The plurality of pre-encoded media content is segmented into a plurality of media segments, each corresponding to different quality level and content encryption mode. A second channel is generated from first channel based on audience-based parameters, insertion of media item, and second programming schedule. The second programming schedule is generated from modification of first programming schedule based on audience-based parameters. The media item is delivered, in viewable format, in second media feed to consumer device.

A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes media segments corresponding to key events. A live production and playout system of disparate sub-systems is synchronized to a reference clock. A timecode from the reference clock is used as a reference time to log content related to key events that occur within the live production and playout system. A live event logging system is synchronized to the reference clock same as the live production and playout system. Based on location of the live event logging system, a time offset is introduced to compensate for a delay. When delay is variable, the reference clock is decoded from a live input stream to associate each key event with a corresponding timecode. Based on a programming schedule comprising the key events that occurred in the live input stream, the disparate live media output stream manifest is published.

A system is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes one or more media segments corresponding to key events. A start and stop time is obtained for a pre-produced media asset from a live playout system synchronized to a reference clock. Based on a reference time of the reference clock and play events from the live playout system, a normalized event metadata is converted from a play time of pre-produced media asset metadata to the reference time. The play events exists for the pre-produced media asset as start and stop times per the pre-produced media asset support inclusion of non-programming content and restart of the pre-produced media asset during a playout. Start and end messages are transmitted for publishing the normalized event metadata each time the pre-produced media asset is started and stopped during the playout in a disparate live media output stream.

Publishing disparate live media output streams in mixed mode based on user selection publishing disparate live media output streams in mixed mode based on user selection
Disparate live output stream manifests are generated based on user selection. When current media programming content in an existing first disparate live media output stream is streamed on a media player, a processor determine a set of alternate live input streams and/or a pre-encoded media assets, and associated alternate live media output manifests and/or pre-encoded media asset manifests, respectively, based on parameters and metadata associated with the existing first disparate live media output stream. Based on an indicator in an existing first disparate live media output stream manifest, alternate content options are transmitted to the media player. A response is received corresponding to a selected alternate live input stream and/or a pre-encoded media asset. An updated first disparate live media output stream manifest is published to a content delivery system, which includes one of the alternate live input stream manifest associated with the selected alternate live input stream.

A display view of the client device is modified, and a non-programming media asset is presented from a second media stream for a defined duration and different version of the programming media content in first partition, concurrently with the programming media content over second partition. The different version of the programming media content corresponds to the programming media content encoded based on a region within the modified display view allocated to the first partition. The presentation is based on user preference for specific item in the programming media content and user selection of the non-programming media asset displayed in past engagement.
