The embodiment of the invention provides a video internet video monitoring method and system, a protocol conversion server and a video internet server, and aims to solve the problem that shortage of staff in a monitoring center results in negligence in viewing monitoring video signals and causes potential safety hazards. The method includes: the protocol conversion server after powering on and initialization is connected with the video network server; a data request including authentication information is sent to a monitoring front-end, and a monitoring video data packet sent by the monitoring front-end is received; the monitoring video data packet is converted into a video network video data packet including path information; and according to the path information, the video network video data packet is through the video network uploaded to the video network server, wherein the video network server is used to send the video network video data packet to a corresponding channel of a digital TV set top box. According to the invention, the staff not belonging to the monitoring center are enabled to watch the monitoring video through the digital television, so that the problem that the shortage of staff in the monitoring center results in negligence in viewing monitoring video signals and causes potential safety hazards is avoided.

The consistency callback mechanisms employed by local file systems such as NTFS and distributed file systems such as DDS, NFS and CIFS are extended to provide a shared memory foundation for efficiently broadcasting real-time high definition video from a source object to large numbers of viewers via the Internet. Distributed applications such as video viewing client applications establish connections to a common distributed file system object, and then each application registers with the underlying distributed file system to receive notifications whenever the video source modifies the source object. The data required to update images maintained by viewing clients is included in notification messages. The distributed file system employs a network of proxy cache nodes. Proxy cache nodes receive notification messages (complete with image update data) and update their cached images of the source object and then retransmit the notification messages towards the viewing clients using IP multicast techniques. In this manner, the distributed file system's consistency mechanism efficiently employs network resources to enable the real-time distribution of video content streams.

An online video advertising platform and marketplace. The present invention enables sellers to enhance the way they market products by providing them with a platform that uses location, images, product information, and Internet video. Because images and text are static and videos are dynamic, a seller can better represent their product and receive a better price and quicker sale as a result of the dynamic presentation. The marketplace uses both a database and “cloud computing” file storage system. So when a new user is created, there is both an entry in the database, and file structure with the username or other unique identifier in the file system. The database then stores pointers to these files. All listings are tied to a central product (listing) Id (PID). Videos can be searched for by both video and product related metrics. Videos file themselves are tagged with product metadata.

The link can be displayed on the TV for selection thereof by a user to retrieve the video.

A method and system allowing producers of media content, for example movies, television shows, games, books, internet videos, and theater plays, to realize revenue by selling product placement opportunities to interested advertisers. These product placement opportunities are offered individually to specific advertisers, or auctioned off to interested advertisers. Advertisers are able to search for product placement opportunities to bid on, or producers of media content that contains product placement opportunities can invite advertisers to bid on their opportunities. A related computer system auctions product placement opportunities on a piece of media via a network connection such as the Internet, and product placement opportunities are bid on by advertisers. The producers of the product placement opportunities are producers of movies, games, books, or even short internet videos. Information from interested advertisers and media producers is uploaded into a database located on the computer system to be searched by users of the system, to maximize information flow and value to the users. Also provided is a method for gathering metric information on electronic media distributed across a network. This metric information can be gathered in detailed form, to better estimate the value of that electronic media to sponsors of that media, such as advertisers who purchase a product placement opportunity on future productions of that electronic media.

A user uses voice commands to modify the contents of a visual display through an audio input device where the audio input device does not necessarily have speech recognition capabilities. The audio input device, such as a telephone, captures audio including spoken voice commands from a user and transmits the audio to a remote system. The remote system is configured to use automated speech recognition to recognize the voice commands. The recognized commands are interpreted by the remote system to respond to the user by transmitting data to be displayed on the visual display. The visual display can be integrated with the audio input device, such as in a web-enabled mobile phone, a video phone or an internet video phone, or the visual display can be separate, such as on a television or a computer display.

The invention discloses an Internet video face recognition method based on deep learning, comprising the following steps: (a) marking face data, acquiring an image with a face from the Internet, marking a face location box and the name of the person, and establishing a face image library; and (b) using the face data marked in step (a) to train a convolutional neural network, wherein the input of the convolutional neural network is set as the face location box, and the output of the convolutional neural network is set as a name tag and the confidence level of the name tag. The beneficial effects are as follows: in face track analysis, first, the quality of each face image on the track is evaluated to discard low-quality face images and retain only high-quality images in order to guarantee the reliability of recognition, and then, statistical analysis is made on the tags of face recognition results of single frames on the track, face image quality filtering is carried out, and the face tags of the overall track are decided based on the statistical parameters of the tags, which can effectively avoid the influence of quality of video on the accuracy of recognition.

An Internet Video Receiver (IVR) is an appliance for delivering content from the Internet for viewing on a television screen or other device. The major contribution that we have made is to shift the position where advertising is merged with content in the delivery of television services. Previously, content was delivered by a single service provider through a closed medium to many clients. The content and advertising was preselected by the service provider at the server side and delivered to the television on the client side with limited customization for individual viewers. With an IVR, the user can choose content from many independent suppliers from the Internet which is merged with independently supplied advertising in the IVR at the client side. Merging content with advertising in the IVR at the client side provides a new method for delivering a customized television service that can be tailored to individual viewers. Statistical information about content that has been viewed using the IVR is collected at the client side and is sent to destinations on the server side independently of the content and / or advertising suppliers. All information crossing the client / server boundary between the IVR on the client side and independent services on the server side in either direction are transactions for which a fee can be charged.
