Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for creating a self-organized time-synchronization network, enabling accurate synchronization. For example, multiple devices may wirelessly broadcast and receive beacon signals and self-organize into an ad hoc network. The wireless ad hoc network may be optimized as individual devices choose new connections to reduce a number of hops to a source device. Individual devices may include a counter that may increment continuously for timing purposes, and counters may be synchronized between connected devices. For example, a local device may adjust contents of a local counter on the local device based on a drift between the local counter and a remote counter on a remote device. Thus, counters between connected devices may be synchronized, beginning at the source device and propagating through the ad hoc network. Based on the synchronization, the devices may offer additional functionality and/or more sophisticated applications.

Abstract: A media sharing system receives a media stream from a broadcaster system. The media sharing system streams a transcoded version of the media stream to user devices that request the media stream broadcast. Additionally, as the media stream is received from the broadcaster system, the media sharing system generates media segments that include the content of the media stream. Based on programming information received for the media stream, the media sharing system creates a media clip for each program included in the media stream. The media sharing system uses content from the media segments to generate the media clips. Further, as a user is viewing a media stream broadcast to the user's device by the media sharing system, the user may request the creation of a media clip from the media stream. The system identifies media segments that include content of the desired media clip and creates the media clip.
