Approaches provide for predictive viewership associated with a device. Information associated with viewership by the device may be received over an interval. The received viewership information is merged with panel information to further generate merged information. The merged information is then aggregated at a predetermined increment to form aggregated date. The aggregated data can then be used as input training data to a model to generate probability of viewership by the device. One or more metrics associated with the predicted viewership can be tracked to evaluate model performance.

A computer-implemented method of channel change detection and overlay detection for a broadcast output, the computer-implemented method comprises providing a broadcast stream for a display; dividing the display into one or more regions, and selecting at least one of the one or more regions; based on the selected one or more regions, determining a first content associated with the broadcast stream; at a time associated with an insertion point for a second content, determining whether the determined first content associated with the broadcast stream matches a target content associated with insertion of the second content in the broadcast stream at the insertion point; for the first content not matching the target content, blocking the insertion of the second content; and for the first content not matching the target content, performing the insertion of the second content.

A consensus-based approach can be used to determine content that was provided by one or more sources over a period of time. Devices receiving or obtaining the content can analyze the content to generate a fingerprint or other representation of the received content. The fingerprint data from the various devices can be aggregated and analyzed to determine whether a consensus can be reached as to an identity of the content that was received. Information for the identified content can then be used to generate a schedule of times at which various instances of content were provided by the one or more sources

Approaches provide for evaluating lift associated with supplemental content based on a Monte Carlo unexposed method. Users may be separated into groups of exposed users that have interacted with supplemental content and an unexposed group that has not interacted with the supplemental content. Activity of the users in the unexposed groups may be tracked over conversion windows that are obtained, at least in part, from conversion windows of the exposed users. Thereafter, conversion rates for the unexposed group may be determined within the same windows as those of the exposed group to determine the impact of the supplemental content.

Approaches presented herein provide for the management of viewership data, including contractual terms and transaction history, through immutable distributed ledgers, such as blockchain. Temporary identifiers can be used to store viewership data for a viewer to one of these public, distributed ledgers. A physical device identifier is associated with a media device. An identity manager generates and rotates temporary public identifiers that are mapped to the physical identifier of the device. Viewership data from the device and the related temporary identifiers are stored on the public distributed ledger. The identity manager receives a contract to provide viewership data of media device over a particular period. The identity manager supplies the temporary identifiers of the media device over the period specified. Upon fulfilment of the contract, the identity manager rotates the temporary identifier associated with physical device to ensure that prior temporary identifiers are no longer mapped to the same physical device identifier. The terms of the contract and subsequent viewership data are stored on the distributed ledger.

Approaches provide for adjustment of playback settings on a user device based at least in part on a type of content being consumed via the user device. The content type may be determined based on a fingerprint acquired from the content presented via on the client device. The content type may be associated with one or more associated playback settings based on properties of the content type, which may be stored in a content profile. The playback settings may be provided to the user device to set or adjust one or more settings of the user device, as may relate to the presentation of the content.

Approaches provide for evaluating lift associated with supplemental content based on a synthetic exposure event. Users may be separated into groups of exposed users that have interacted with supplemental content and an unexposed group that has not interacted with the supplemental content. Users within the unexposed group may be ranked and sorted into a subset control group. The subset control group may be presented with synthetic exposure events that monitor conversions for the supplemental content in the same manner as the exposed group. Thereafter, conversion rates may be compared to determine the impact of the supplemental content.

Abrégé

A method, apparatus and system related to zero configuration communication between a browser and a networked media device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a client device includes constraining an executable environment in a security sandbox, executing a sandboxed application in the executable environment using a processor and a memory, and automatically instantiating a connection between the sandboxed application and a sandbox reachable service of a networked media device. The method may include processing an identification data associated with the sandbox reachable service sharing a public address with the client device. The method may also include determining a private address pair of the sandbox reachable service based on the identification data. Further, the method may include establishing a communication session between the sandboxed application and the sandbox reachable service using a cross-site scripting technique of the security sandbox or appending a header of a hypertext transfer protocol.

Abrégé

Particular embodiments permit a computer program running within a security sandbox to discover and communicate with networked services for example print servers, or remote control programming interfaces for TVs, stereos, and game boxes. The sandbox allows the computer program to originate unicast connections to a limited set of hosts but otherwise provides no access to the network. Particular embodiments may require no prior install, zero configuration, no account names or passwords, and yet resists spam. This is achieved by using centralized global infrastructure to coordinate the communications rather than local multicast, anycast, or datalink broadcast.
