Deep Live Video Ad Placement on the 5G Edge
This addresses the problem of non-personalized TV commercials for the video broadcasting and mobile operator industries, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing edge-cloud and streaming technologies.
The paper tackles the lack of personalized advertising in broadband TV by proposing a deep edge-cloud ad-placement system for VoD and live broadcast TV over MMT streaming, aiming to enable targeted services on 5G MEC platforms to potentially increase ad revenues.
The video broadcasting industry has been growing significantly in the recent years, specially on delivering personalized contents to the end users. While video broadcasting has continued to grow beyond TV, video adverting has become a key marketing tool to deliver targeted messages directly to the audience. However, unfortunately for broadband TV, a key problem is that the TV commercials target the broad audience, therefore lacking user-specific and personalized ad contents. In this paper, we propose a deep edge-cloud ad-placement system, and briefly describe our methodologies and the architecture of our designed ad placement system for delivering both the Video on Demand (VoD) and live broadcast TV contents over MMT streaming protocol. The aim of our paper is to showcase how to enable targeted, personalized, and user-specific advertising services deployed on the future 5G MEC platforms, which in turn can have high potentials to increase ad revenues for the mobile operator industry.
