Systems and methods for enabling functionality of a trigger mechanism based on log entries in a traffic log |
摘要 |
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for enabling functionality of a trigger mechanism based on log entries in a traffic log. An example method involves (i) accessing a stored traffic log, wherein the log includes multiple ordered log entries including a first log-entry and a second log-entry; (ii) making a first determination that the first log-entry corresponds to a show-segment video-component (VC) of a live show, wherein the first log-entry further corresponds to a broadcast time-period; (iii) making a second determination that the second log-entry is positioned immediately after the first log-entry; (iv) making a third determination that the second log-entry corresponds to a manual start-time type; and (v) responsive to making the three determinations, enabling functionality of a trigger mechanism during the broadcast time-period, wherein the enabled trigger mechanism is configured to cause processing of a next log entry in the log in response to being triggered. |

1. A method comprising:
an automation system accessing a stored television-broadcasting traffic log, wherein the traffic log includes multiple ordered log entries, the log entries including at least a first log-entry and a second log-entry; the automation system making a first determination that the first log-entry corresponds to a show-segment video-component (VC) of a live show, wherein the first log-entry further corresponds to a broadcast time-period; the automation system making a second determination that the second log-entry is positioned immediately after the first log-entry; the automation system making a third determination that the second log-entry corresponds to a manual start-time type; and responsive to the automation system making the first, second, and third determinations, the automation system enabling functionality of a trigger mechanism during the broadcast time-period, wherein the enabled trigger mechanism is configured to cause the automation system to process a next log entry in the traffic log in response to being triggered by a user. |
