  • Patent number: 9762550
    Abstract: A system and method for providing load balanced secure media content and data delivery (10) in a distributed computing environment is disclosed. Media content is segmented and encrypted into a set of individual encrypted segments on a centralized control center (15). Each individual encrypted segment has the same fixed size. The complete set of individual encrypted segments is staged to a plurality of intermediate control nodes (17, 19). Individual encrypted segments are mirrored from the staged complete set to a plurality of intermediate servers (21a-b, 23a-b). Requests are received from clients (11) for the media content at the centralized control center. Each individual encrypted segment in the set is received from one of an intermediate control node and an intermediate server optimally sited from the requesting client. The individual encrypted segments are reassembled into the media content for media playback.

  • Patent number: 7301944
    Abstract: A server/client media file distribution system is provided in which the server system is adapted to receive transmission requests from clients, status information from a network, and protocol information from each client. The server, based upon this information, adaptively transmits a given media file stored therein to one or more clients using the optimal transmission speed and/or network protocol based on the network status information and protocol information. Additionally, the present invention provides a looping file arrangement in which a plurality of clients can receive the same media file on multiple network channels, without the need to provide multiple copies of the same media file for each request of that file.

  • Patent number: 6370139
    Abstract: A system and method for providing information dispersal in a networked computing environment are described. A plurality of database servers is distributed throughout a networked computing environment. Each database server includes a database storing segments of information staged for retrieval upon user request. A user system uploads a message specifying an information request. The information request identifies a set of the information staged on the database servers for retrieval. A central controller is communicatively interfaced to the user system and each of the database servers and controls the database servers to disperse the information requested in the uploaded message.
