Asset Data Integration
United States
There is provided a system including a processor and a memory, storing an asset-data synthesis unit having a data translation module and a data integration module. The processor executes the asset-data synthesis unit to receive a first and a second domain specific asset description data being expressed using different descriptive vocabularies, translate the first and second domain specific asset description data to a common descriptive vocabulary to produce respective first and second common format asset description data, inferentially identify based on probabilistic inference that the first and second common format asset description data describe a same asset, integrate the first and second common format asset description data to produce an integrated asset description data describing the same asset, and generate a synthesized data describing the same asset and linking the integrated asset description data and the first and second domain specific asset description data.

System and Method for Event Context-Based Commerce Options
United States
There is provided a system and method for providing context-based limited availability commerce options. There is provided a method comprising receiving a sensor data sample corresponding to a segment for an event, matching the sensor data sample to a media record in a media database, the media record including an identity of the event, generating an advertising campaign of limited availability commerce options using a context including the identity of the event and a location of a device, and presenting the advertising campaign on a display of the device. When the event corresponds to a theatrical movie showing, the segment may correspond to the first few measures of a song for an end credit roll, and the sensor data sample may be recorded from a microphone. The commerce options may be limited based on time, location, demographics, user or group participation, and other criteria.

Metadata Extraction and Management
United States
There are provided systems and methods for performing metadata extraction and management. Such a system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, a system memory, and metadata extraction and management unit stored in the system memory. The system is configured to extract multiple metadata types from a media asset, and to aggregate the multiple metadata types to produce an aggregated metadata describing the media asset. The system is further configured to transform the aggregated metadata into at least one database entry identifying the media asset, and to map the at least one database entry into a graphical database so as to relate the media asset to at least one other media asset represented in the graphical database.

Asset-Data Integration
United States
There are provided asset-data integration systems and methods for use by such systems. Such a system includes a hardware processor, a system memory, and an asset-data synthesis unit including a data translation module and a data integration module, stored in the system memory. The system is configured to receive domain specific asset description data expressed using different descriptive vocabularies, and to translate the domain specific asset description data to produce common format asset description data. The system is further configured to identify the common format asset description data describing the same asset, to integrate that common format asset description data to produce an integrated asset description data describing the asset, and to generate a synthesized data describing the asset and linking the integrated asset description data and the domain specific asset description data.

Live Panoramic Image Capture and Distribution
United States
There is provided a system and a method for use by the system to provide live panoramic image capture and distribution. In one implementation, such a method includes capturing multiple perspectives of a visual environment, combining at least a subset of those perspectives to produce a panoramic image of the visual environment, and encoding the panoramic image to generate panoramic image data. The method also includes transmitting the first panoramic image data to a routing and processing portal for distribution of the panoramic image in real-time.
