Publication number: 20230247237Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to devices, systems and methods for a streaming service to provide fast video stream startup at a user device. The streaming service may determine that a video stream for on-demand content is to be provided to the user device and is to include multiple subclips corresponding to the on-demand content and a dynamic content insertion opportunity (DCIO). A first set of multimedia data is transmitted to the user device that corresponds to a first subclip of the on-demand content. When a predetermined condition corresponding to the DCIO is satisfied, a second set of multimedia data is transmitted to the user device that includes multimedia data corresponding to at least the multiple subclips.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Spencer SHANSON, Matt TRETIN, Ivan ZUBOK, Pavlo KALMYKOV, Edwin RODRIGUEZ

Publication number: 20130311745Abstract: A contiguous digital media storage system and method is disclosed. In one embodiment, the contiguous digital media storage system comprises a storage server, mass storage device, allocator subsystem, and metadata subsystem. Other embodiments may include additional storage servers or mass storage devices as well as one or more client devices. The system and method may be used with third party file systems. Generally, sequentially sensitive information is identified and stored contiguously based on its position within a sequence which substantially increases throughput. This position may be determined from information provided by client devices, file characteristics, or other ways. The system and method may store uniform and variable sized files contiguously.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Inventors: Antony Harris, Edwin Rodriguez

Patent number: 6741963Abstract: A method and a system for improving recall of speech data in a computer speech system can include a plurality of speech cache management steps including providing a speech cache, receiving a speech system input and identifying a speech event in the received speech system input, the speech event comprising speech data. Subsequently, the speech data can be compared to pre-determined speech cache entry criteria; and, if the speech data meets one of the pre-determined entry criteria, at least one entry can be added to the speech cache, the at least one entry corresponding to the speech data. Additionally, the speech data can be compared to pre-determined speech cache exit criteria; and, if the speech data meets one of the pre-determined exit criteria, at least one entry can be purged from the speech cache, the at least one entry corresponding to the speech data. The entry criteria can include frequently used speech data, recently used speech data, and important speech data.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2000Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel E.

Patent number: 6738742Abstract: A computer system has a notification manager for playing a message to a user by selecting one of a plurality of audio notifications. The method includes the step of setting a priority level for each notification arriving into a queue. The notification is inserted into a position in the queue based upon the priority level of the notification, such that the audio notifications at the queue top have a generally higher priority than audio notifications at the queue bottom. The notification at the top of the queue can be selected if the priority level of the notification is greater than a predetermined gate level. Once a notification is selected, a message corresponding to the selected notification is played to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel E. Badt, Peter J. Guasti, Gary R. Hanson, Amado Nassiff, Edwin A. Rodriguez, Harvey Ruback, Carl A. Smith, Ronald E. Vanbuskirk, Huifang Wang, Steven G. Woodward
