Abstract:
A scalable, multi-platform, seamless Server-side Ad-Insertion system and method with a single stream input and output having an Advertisement Detector and Playlist Instrumenter (ADPI) which puts out Advertisement Break position and duration for an Advertisement Replacement System (ARS) and a Common Instrumented Playlist (CIP) for the users, a Load Switch to balance the ADPI and ARS loads when they need to scale according to user-demand, and a plurality of users on a plurality of devices and platforms communicating with the ARS. The ARS communicates with the Advertisement Server to enable fetching advertisements for every user and reports successful advertisement playback. The CIP contains a list of URLs having Beacon redirections which are added periodically to indicate user presence to the ARS and content URLs. ServeAd redirections is added to the ARS only during advertisement break so that ARS can replace in-stream advertisements.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 9  for load balancing wherein:\n a) user Tracker Server (UTS) ( 711 ) always knows active users which the ARS is catering to, when the ARS has exceeded profiled capacity ( 712 ), the UTS instructs the Playlist Builder ( 714 ) to stop inserting Beacons and ServeAds into output playlist CIP; \n b) when the Playlist Server stops inserting Beacons and ServeAd ( 713 ) into output playlist CIP, that makes the CIP equivalent to an input stream, thus the SSAI becomes a simple pass-through; \n c) re-configuration to downscale or upscale the ARS to meet changing traffic conditions is done to handle the sudden change in the demand subsequently ( 715 ); \n d) once reconfiguration is done ( 716 ), UTS ( 711 ) instructs Playlist Builder to start insertion of Beacon and ServeAds as in ( 718 ); and \n e) this process continues as per change in Traffic patterns perpetually as shown by ( 717 ).
