Patent number: 10708332Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to viewing and filtering media content. In one embodiment, the invention is a system for networking based redirecting of content, including but not limited to, media files, electronic documents, application data, on-demand data, and live-streamed data. The system includes at least one content delivery network (CDN) comprising a processor, memory to store data used by a processor, where the system includes more than one encoder server capable of sending more than one bit rate for a channel to an anchor server, where the anchor server determines which ingestion server to send content to, and where the channel content bit rate sent to a user device is dependent upon the user device internet bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: YIPTV, INC.Inventors: Michael Tribolet, Tomasz Sarnowski, Louis Holder

Patent number: 8213594Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the cost of long distance phone calls is disclosed. Accordingly, an originating phone network is operatively connected to a first intermediate point, and a receiving phone network is operatively connected to a second intermediate point. Each intermediate point is operatively connected to communicate via a data network. Users on the originating and destination phone networks may communicate based on virtual numbers. The virtual number is preferably within the local calling area of the originating phone network. The first and second intermediate points route calls to any geographic location, regardless of distance, over the data network based on the virtual number. This provides the advantage of allowing a user on the originating phone network to access a user at a distant location for a price that is substantially similar to the price of a local call.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2011Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Vonage Network LLCInventor: Louis Holder
