An example system and method may provide a media channel rewards application with live polling. An example system may measure a viewing period of the media stream, determine a quantity of digital points respective to a user profile and the media stream based on the measured viewing period, and store a digital record associated with the user profile and the media channel, which digital record indicates the quantity of digital points. In some instances, the system may generate a graphical overlay for a media stream of a media channel and provide a graphical interface in the overlay based on the quantity of digital points associated with the user profile and the media stream.

The invention provides a method for driving fan interactions with a sports club through a mobile application. Users may enroll and be indexed as fans of one or more clubs. Periodic quizzes based on information relevant to the club are provided to each user indexed as a fan of the club, and points awarded based on quiz results that may be used for entries in a raffle for club prizes. Influencers may enroll and live stream during matches, creating interactive content for viewers. The club page and league page are managed by official accounts that can upload relevant content and follow or unfollow users. Quiz content may be based on visual content from game and generated through artificial intelligence machine learning. Club prizes can include tickets to an upcoming club match, signed club apparel, and interactions with club players. The raffle can be broadcasted live on a media channel.

A system and method for content aware monitoring of an output of a media channel by a media system is provided herein. In at least one embodiment, the method comprises: receiving a media assertion schedule comprising a schedule of assertion checks which allow validating that the output of the media channel, by the media system, is synchronized with an expected media channel output; receiving, from a signature generating module, at least one observed signature file; determining that the timestamp data, in each of the at least one received observed signature file, aligns with at least one timecode included in an assertion check in the media assertion schedule; identifying an assertion condition included in the assertion check; and validating the assertion condition using the observed media frame signatures included in each of the at least one received observed signature file.

The present application describes platform containing a dynamic multilayered media structure which is generated by aggregation of media pieces into a plurality of media layers. The platform allows users to interact with media layers of the dynamic multilayered media structure independently of one another. The platform further provides for a dynamic, customized media channel lineup and a user account that allows individual media pieces within the dynamic multilayered media structure to play across separate devices that are linked to the account. The user account allows for inputs including real-time controls over the media, interaction, preferences, adding additional media content, editing media into a condensed form, and curation options with the dynamic multilayered media structure.

This invention discloses an HLS streaming media channel switching method and system based on parallel preprocessing, relating to the field of streaming media transmission technology. The method includes: the server synchronously generating a main playlist and a hot-switching playlist for each channel; the hot-switching playlist records the addresses of micro-media segments starting with I-frames and is continuously updated; the client determines the target channel based on a prediction strategy, requests the target channel's hot-switching playlist in advance, downloads the latest micro-media segments for decoding, and caches them in a waiting frame queue; when a switching command is received, the client directly retrieves a frame from the waiting frame queue for rendering, and simultaneously requests the target channel's main playlist to download regular media segments for playback. This method, by moving network download and decoding operations to before switching, transforms resource acquisition processing into local memory access, fundamentally eliminating the black screen buffering wait during traditional HLS switching and achieving a seamless, frame-level instantaneous switching experience for the user.

A method includes tuning an end user device to a first media station in response to first tuning input received at the end user device, extracting, at the end user device, a station identifier from content obtained from the first media station, and obtaining access information associated with a second media station based on the station identifier of the first media station. In response to second tuning input requesting the end user device to tune to the first media station, instead of tuning to the first media station, retrieving the second media station based on the access information.

Techniques are described for adaptive control of media channel interfaces for delivery of media content over communications systems to transport craft passengers. Embodiments monitor viewership of various media channel offerings provided to transport craft passengers to compute aggregated viewership scores. Based on the scores, respective prominence parameters associated with the various media channel offerings can be automatically updated. Interface control signals can be communicated to cause media channel interfaces being displayed on passenger devices to dynamically and automatically update the graphical listings of the media channel offerings in accordance with the updates to their respective prominence parameters. Dynamically updating the graphical prominence of different media channel offerings can tend to make passengers more likely to view a smaller subset of the media channel offerings, thereby helping to maintain high passenger satisfaction with less network capacity demand.

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for creating a media channel, a method and apparatus for viewing media content, and a device and a storage medium. The method for creating a media channel provided herein comprises: acquiring channel configuration information by means of a channel creation interface, wherein the channel configuration information indicates at least one topic which is determined on the basis of a user input; on the basis of the channel configuration information, creating a target media channel; and presenting a viewing interface of the target media channel, wherein the viewing interface provides media content associated with the at least one topic. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support a user in customizing media channels concerning specific topics, thereby improving the efficiency of the user acquiring multimedia content.
