Utility
Content-modification System with User Experience Analysis Feature
7 Sep 23
In one aspect, a method includes determining a content-modification operation channel-change rate for a group of content-presentation devices having a common content-presentation device attribute; comparing the content-modification operation channel-change rate with a baseline channel-change rate; determining that a result of the comparing satisfies a threshold condition; and based on determining that the result of the comparing satisfies the threshold condition, preventing at least one content-presentation device of the group of content-presentation devices from carrying out a future content-modification operation.

Utility
Media Channel Identification and Action, with Disambiguation Through Client-side Fingerprint Matching of Channel-specific Icon
31 Aug 23
Disclosed is a method that includes a media presentation device (i) generating query fingerprint data representing video frames of a channel being rendered by the media presentation device, and transmitting the generated query fingerprint data from the device over a network to a server, (ii) responsive to transmitting the query fingerprint data to the server, receiving, from the server, channel-icon fingerprint data representing channel icons of multiple channels selected based at least on the server having detected that the query fingerprint data representing the video frames of the channel being rendered by the media presentation device matches the reference fingerprint data representing the frames of the multiple channels of video content, and (iii) responsive to receiving the channel-icon fingerprint data from the server, performing channel-icon fingerprint matching to determine which channel in the multiple channels is the channel being rendered by the media presentation device.
