Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for generating content identification files, such as manifest files, for ensuring content and advertising continuity when changes occur during playback. A user device can request content at a particular bitrate, and a first manifest file comprising references to the content and selected associated content such as advertisements can be created in response to the request. While one of the advertisements is being displayed, the user device can request a change, such as for a different bitrate. A computing device, such as a manifest server can access the first manifest file to determine the content and the associated content, such the advertisements, that were intended for the user. The manifest server can then create a second manifest file in response to the request, where second manifest file can be created with the associated content, for example, the advertisements in the first manifest file.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n requesting, by a first manifest server, one or more advertisements at a first bit rate associated with a user device; in response to the request for the one or more advertisements at the first bit rate, receiving information comprising a plurality of references to the one or more advertisements at the first bit rate; generating a first manifest file and state information associated with the first manifest file, wherein the first manifest file comprises a reference to fragments of content at the first bitrate and a reference of the plurality of references to a first plurality of advertising fragments of the one or more advertisements at the first bit rate; transmitting an identifier associated with the user device and the state information to a second manifest server; receiving, by the second manifest server, a request for the content, wherein the request comprises the identifier associated with the user device and a selection of a second bitrate; determining, based on the identifier associated with the user device and the state information, the one or more advertisements; and generating, based on the one or more advertisements, a second manifest file comprising a reference to fragments of the content at the second bitrate and a reference to a second plurality of advertising fragments of the one or more advertisements at a third bitrate, wherein at least one of the second plurality of advertising fragments is related to at least one of the first plurality of advertising fragments.
