Abstract: Various embodiments provide a system and methods for generating geographical models, determining geographical locations of set-top boxes using the geographical models, and modifying behavior of the set-top boxes based on their geographical locations. The set-top boxes determine their own geographical locations, regardless of whether the set-top boxes are capable of transmitting data to a content provider or include specialized equipment, such as a global positioning system, for determining geographical location.

Abstract: A computing device includes program instructions to select, based on indicia of interest for media content for each of a plurality of users, a first user and second user to engage in an interaction related to a media content item. The computing device further includes programming to select a topic related to the media content item for the interaction and initiate the interaction between the first and second user based on the topic.

Abstract: A computing device is programmed to receive, first and second user indicia of interest for media content. The computing device is further programmed to receive first user data related to a media content item. Based at least in part on the first and second user indicia of interest and the first user data, the computing device is further programmed to generate output that the first user recommend the media content item to the second user.

Abstract: A system and method of adjusting playback of content in response to a viewer's emotional reaction is disclosed. The method includes detecting viewer emotion, via a camera, in reaction to subject matter of the content being presented on a display screen. The content includes subject matter and metadata associated with the subject matter. Additionally, the method analyzes the viewer emotion in reaction to the subject matter of the content presented on the display screen and identifies the analyzed viewer emotion in reaction to the subject matter of the content. The method also associates an identified viewer emotion with at least one playback attribute linked with the presentation of the content using the metadata associated with the subject matter of the content presented on the display screen. Further, the method adjusts the at least one playback attribute linked with presentation of the content that corresponds with the identified viewer emotion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced video encoding identify patterns in sequences of raw digital video frames to extract features and identify the type of content represented by the extracted features. The system simulates many outcomes of encoding the sequence of digital video frames by using various different encoding strategies to find the relative best encoding strategy for each sequence of frames. As the encoder processes video, it passes digital video frames to a modeling system which determines whether the video, or video having that same type of content, has been previously observed by the system. The system then selectively applies a saved encoding strategy that had been determined by the system to be particularly suitable for encoding the same sequence of video frames or that same type of content.
