Patent number: 11190566Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a client application for streaming media. The client application estimates the bandwidth of the client and the latency between the client and a media distribution service. A bit rate for a media stream is determined using the latency, a buffer state, and the estimated bandwidth. A time to send the request is determined using the estimated bandwidth and latency.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Marc Joliveau, Justin Michael Binns, Matthew James Bordenet, Patrik Schnell, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner

Patent number: 10666698Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a service for selecting the bandwidth of a media stream. The service correlates the buffer state of a client with previously communicated portions of the stream. The service then determines a bit rate for subsequent portions of the stream. A manifest may be generated indicating a source for content at the determined bit rate.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Marc Joliveau, Justin Michael Binns, Matthew James Bordenet, Patrik Schnell, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner

Patent number: 10609104Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting fragments of a media item. An estimated bandwidth for a client is calculated. A confidence score for the estimated bandwidth is determined. When the confidence score falls below a threshold, the estimated bandwidth is modified. A fragment for the media item is selected using the modified estimated bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin Michael Binns, Matthew James Bordenet, Marc Joliveau, Patrik Schnell, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner

Patent number: 10305721Abstract: Techniques are described for facilitating the delivery of digital content using gossip protocols. A group of client devices share information about network conditions in sideband communications using a gossip protocol. Each of the client devices then uses this information to make decisions about how to access content. By providing accurate and current information about network conditions the occurrence of buffering events and/or fatal errors may be significantly reduced or eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin Michael Binns, Lars Christian Ulness, James Eric Knowler, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Terje Kristian Backman, Joshua B. Barnard, Marc Joliveau, Chris Longo, Matthew James Bordenet

Patent number: 10055494Abstract: A technology is described for providing plotline information associated with media content. An example method may include receiving a request from a customer via an interface for plotline information stored on a data store. The plotline information may be included in media content where the plotline information may include a plurality of plotlines featured in the narrative of the media content. The plotline information may then be identified in the data store, and a graphical visualization of the plotline information included in the media content may be generated, where the graphical visualization may display the plotline information as corresponding to the narrative of the media content.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew James Bordenet, Yann Thierry Oehl, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Hilliard Bruce Siegel, Scott Thomas Moran, Tanya Salyers

Patent number: 9992249Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for requesting fragments of a media item. A latency to a media distribution service and bandwidth for a client are estimated. A time to request a subsequent fragment from the media item is determined. Sources for the fragment are scored and one of the sources is selected. The fragment is requested from the selected source.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin Michael Binns, Matthew James Bordenet, Marc Joliveau, Patrik Schnell, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner

Patent number: 9787745Abstract: A technology for content delivery is provided. In one example, performance of a caching network, performance of a delivery network, and customer demand are modeled. Instructions are provided for a client device on how to request content based on the modeled performance of the caching network, the modeled performance of the delivery network or the modeled customer demand.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin Michael Binns, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Joshua B.

Patent number: 9712860Abstract: Techniques for delivering content are described that vary the bit rate with which the content is delivered to achieve a consistent level of quality from the user's perspective. This is achieved through the use of quality metrics associated with content fragments that guide decision making in selecting from among the different size fragments that are available for a given segment of the content. Fragment selection attempts to optimize quality within one or more constraints.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Joshua B. Barnard, Matthew James Bordenet, James Eric Knowler, Marc Joliveau, Patrik Schnell

Patent number: 9686332Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a manifest generation service. A manifest generation service determines a bit rate for an on demand content stream to a client. A manifest is generated indicating a source for content at the determined bit rate. The bit rate is determined and manifests are generated repeatedly to adapt to changes in network conditions during the stream.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin Michael Binns, Matthew James Bordenet, Marc Joliveau, Patrik Schnell, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner
