Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for coordinating the display of content segments in linear TV devices and over-the-top (OTT) media devices. A controller can select a content segment from a plurality of content segments of linear TV content provided to a plurality of linear TV devices to be displayed at a TV channel at a scheduled time instance. The controller can further select an OTT time instance separated from the scheduled time instance by a predetermined time interval, and provide a copy of the selected content segment to one or more media devices to be displayed at the one or more media devices at the OTT time instance.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- selecting, by a computing device, a content segment of a linear TV content provided to a plurality of linear TV devices to be displayed at a TV channel at a scheduled time instance;
- selecting an over-the-top (OTT) time instance separated from the scheduled time instance by a predetermined time interval;
- and
- providing a copy of the selected content segment to one or more media devices coupled to the computing device to be displayed at the one or more media devices at the OTT time instance.
A system, comprising:
- at least one controller configured to:
- select a content segment from a plurality of content segments, wherein the content segment is a part of linear TV content provided to a plurality of linear TV devices to be displayed at a TV channel at a scheduled time instance;
- select an over-the-top (OTT) time instance separated from the scheduled time instance by a predetermined time interval;
- and
- provide a copy of the selected content segment to one or more media devices coupled to the system to be displayed at the one or more media devices at the OTT time instance.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- selecting a content segment of a linear TV content provided to a plurality of linear TV devices to be displayed at a TV channel at a scheduled time instance;
- selecting an over-the-top (OTT) time instance separated from the scheduled time instance by a predetermined time interval;
- and
- providing a copy of the selected content segment to one or more media devices coupled to the at least one computing device to be displayed at the one or more media devices at the OTT time instance.
