Abstract
A video traffic, quality of service and engagement analytics system and method are provided. The system and method provide business intelligence on the broad areas of traffic statistics, viewer engagement, and quality of service for online video publishers. In one implementation, the system may utilize a tracker unit for a media player to gather the information for the video analytics.
Claims18
A video analytics system, comprising:
- one or more tracker units, each tracker unit operable on a corresponding computing device configured to play one or more videos, and gather one or more sets of video information associated with playing one or more videos;
- and
- a video analytics unit, coupled to each computing device over a link, configured to perform the following:
- receive the set of video information from each tracker unit,
- generate one or more quality of service metrics based on the one or more sets of video information from the one or more tracker units,
- generate one or more viewer engagement metrics based on at least the tracking event information from the one or more tracker units, and
- generate a display of a correlation of a selected quality of service metric and a selected viewer engagement metric.
A video analytics method, comprising:
- operating one or more tracker units, each tracker unit operable on a corresponding computing device configured to play one or more videos, and gather one or more sets of video information associated with playing one or more videos;
- and
- operating a video analytics unit, coupled to each computing device over a link, to perform the following:
- receive the set of video information from each tracker unit,
- generate one or more quality of service metrics based on the one or more sets of video information from the one or more tracker units,
- generate one or more viewer engagement metrics based on at least the tracking event information from the one or more tracker units, and
- generate a display of a correlation of a selected quality of service metric and a selected viewer engagement metric.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for a video analytics system comprising one or more tracker units and a video analytics analytics unit, each tracker unit operable on a corresponding computing device configured to play one or more videos, and gather one or more sets of video information associated with playing one or more videos, and with the non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of computer executable instructions for causing the video analytics unit to perform steps comprising:
- receive the set of video information from each tracker unit,
- generate one or more quality of service metrics based on the one or more sets of video information from the one or more tracker units,
- generate one or more viewer engagement metrics based on at least the tracking event information from the one or more tracker units, and
- generate a display of a correlation of a selected quality of service metric and a selected viewer engagement metric.
