Abstract
Systems and method for advertisement replacement are disclosed. A server may receive a server feed, generate a plurality of server fingerprints for a respective plurality of segments of the server feed, receive a synchronization message comprising a client fingerprint and a client time, match the client fingerprint with one of the plurality of server fingerprints, and send a synchronization response indicative of a server time associated with the one of the plurality of server fingerprints.

1-22:
- (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a client device, a client feed comprising media content from a source device;
- generating, by the client device, at least one client fingerprint for at least one segment of the received client feed;
- sending a synchronization message comprising the at least one client fingerprint from the client device to a server device, wherein the server device is configured to identify a corresponding at least one server fingerprint generated by the server device for a corresponding segment of a server feed that matches the at least one client fingerprint;
- receiving, at the client device, a synchronization response from the server device, the synchronization response comprising:
- data indicative of a time difference between a server feed time associated with the identified at least one server fingerprint that matches the at least one client fingerprint and a client feed time associated with the at least one client fingerprint;
- and
- an upcoming server time for an upcoming segment to be replaced;
- and
- determining, by the client device, a replacement time of the client feed for the segment to be replaced based on at least the upcoming server time and the time difference;
- and
- replacing, by the client device, the segment to be replaced in the client feed with a replacement advertisement at the replacement time.

A client device comprising:
- a processing device;
- a memory in communication with the processing device, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a client feed comprising media content from a source device;
- generating at least one client fingerprint for at least one segment of the received client feed;
- sending a synchronization message comprising the at least one client fingerprint from the client device to a server device, wherein the server device is configured to identify a corresponding at least one server fingerprint generated by the server device for a corresponding segment of a server feed that matches the at least one client fingerprint;
- receiving a synchronization response from the server device, the synchronization response comprising:
- data indicative of a time difference between a server feed time associated with the identified at least one server fingerprint that matches the at least one client fingerprint and a client feed time associated with the at least one client fingerprint;
- and
- an upcoming server time for an upcoming segment to be replaced;
- and
- determining a replacement time of the client feed for the segment to be replaced based on at least the upcoming server time and time difference;
- and
- replacing the segment to be replaced in the client feed with a replacement advertisement at the replacement time.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instruction which, when executed by a processing device in a client device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a client feed comprising media content from a source device;
- generating at least one client fingerprint for at least one segment of the received client feed;
- sending a synchronization message comprising the at least one client fingerprint from the client device to a server device, wherein the server device is configured to identify a corresponding at least one server fingerprint generated by the server device for a corresponding segment of a server feed that matches the at least one client fingerprint;
- receiving a synchronization response from the server device, the synchronization response comprising:
- data indicative of a time difference between a server feed time associated with the identified at least one server fingerprint that matches the at least one client fingerprint and a client feed time associated with the at least one client fingerprint;
- and
- an upcoming server time for an upcoming segment to be replaced;
- and
- determining a replacement time of the client feed for the segment to be replaced based on at least the upcoming server time and time difference;
- and
- replacing the segment to be replaced in the client feed with a replacement advertisement at the replacement time.
