US Patent 10522186 Apparatus, systems, and methods for integrating digital media content

Disclosed herein are techniques for digital content integration. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a target digital content item that includes a plurality of frames, identifying a set of candidate host frames for inserting source digital content items from the plurality of frames based on one or more attributes of the target digital content item, determining a candidate score for each respective candidate host frame of the candidate host frames, and generating host time defining data including identifications and the candidate scores of the candidate host frames, where the candidate score indicates a degree of transition of the target digital content item at the candidate host frame. One or more candidate host frames are then selected based on the candidate scores for inserting one or more source digital content items into the target digital content item.
