Abstract

Techniques for presenting a content item with a media item are described. The techniques include receiving user input indicating a placement preference for a content item to be presented with a media item. The placement preference indicates a presentation preference of the content item relative to presentation of the media item. The placement preference is used to influence selection of a media item with which the content item is to be presented.

Claims (47)

1. A system for content selection, comprising:

a data processing system including one or more processors to:

receive, from a first provider device, first input indicating a first content item eligible for presentation to client devices, the first content item established by the first provider device with a first presentation preference that configures the first content item as a skippable content item;

receive, from a second provider device, second input indicating a second content item eligible for presentation to the client devices, the second content item established with a second presentation preference that configures the second content item that is not skippable;

receive, from a script executed by a client device, a request for content to be provided to the client device;

determine, based on a capability of the client device, that the client device is able to present the first content item; and

select, by the data processing system, responsive to the request and based on the determination, from among at least the first content item and the second content item, the first content item to provide with a media item to execute on the client device.

2. The system of claim 1 , comprising the data processing system to:

receive, from the client device, an indication of a preference for one of the first content item that is skippable or the second content item that is not skippable.

3. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the data processing system to receive, via a script executed by the client device, one of the first presentation preference or the second presentation preference.

4. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the data processing system to retrieve, for the client device, the first presentation preference.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the skippable content item comprises audio content.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first provider device corresponds to a first source different than a second source of the second provider device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first provider device corresponds to a first video stream different than a second video stream of the second provider device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first presentation preference is set for the client device based on the capability of the client device.

9. The system of claim 1 , comprising the data processing system to:

determine, based on the capability of the client device, to use the first presentation preference for the client device.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the client device comprises a digital assistant.

11. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the data processing system to select the media item based on a speech processing technique.

12. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the data processing system to select the skippable content item based on a speech processing technique.

13. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the data processing system to identify keywords from speech at the client device based on at least one of keyword spotting or pattern recognition.

14. A method of selecting content based on functionality, comprising:

receiving, from a first provider device, first input indicating a first content item eligible for presentation to client devices, the first content item established by the first provider device with a first presentation preference that configures the first content item as a skippable content item;

receiving, from a second provider device, second input indicating a second content item eligible for presentation to the client devices, the second content item established with a second presentation preference that configures the second content item that is not skippable;

receiving, from a script executed by on a client device, a request for content to be provided to the client device;

determining, based on a capability of the client device, that the client device is able to present the first content item; and

selecting, by a data processing system, responsive to the request and based on the determination, from among at least the first content item and the second content item, the first content item to provide with a media item to execute on the client device.

15. The method of claim 14 , comprising:

receiving, from the client device, an indication of a preference for one of the first content item that is skippable or the second content item that is not skippable.

16. The method of claim 14 , comprising:

receiving, by the data processing system via a script executed by the client device, one of the first presentation preference or the second presentation preference.

17. The method of claim 14 , comprising:

retrieving, by the data processing system for the client device, the first presentation preference.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the skippable content item comprises audio content.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first provider device corresponds to a first source different than a second source of the second provider device.

20. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first provider device corresponds to a first video stream different than a second video stream of the second provider device.

21. A computing device comprising one or more processors and a computer program stored on a computer readable medium, the stored computer program including instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a first provider device, first input indicating a first content item eligible for presentation to client devices, the first content item established by the first provider device with a first presentation preference that configures the first content item as a skippable content item;

receiving, from a second provider device, second input indicating a second content item eligible for presentation to the client devices, the second content item established with a second presentation preference that configures the second content item that is not skippable;

receiving, from a script executed by on a client device, a request for content to be provided to the client device;

determining, based on a capability of the client device, that the client device is able to present the first content item; and

selecting, by a data processing system, responsive to the request and based on the determination, from among at least the first content item and the second content item, the first content item to provide with a media item to execute on the client device.
