  • Patent number: 10909218
    Abstract: A system and method for providing content consumption data to users in a multi-device environment. Activity data from a plurality of UE devices associated with a subscriber account are obtained when one or more users tied to the subscriber account consume content on one or more UE devices. The activity data may be correlated with one or more pieces of information relating to the consumed content. When a journal request is received from a user operating a UE device associated with the subscriber account, a response is generated containing data for presentation in a journal format that includes correlated subscriber activity data for the subscriber account over a select period of time.

  • Patent number: 10826960
    Abstract: A method of providing live adaptive bitrate (ABR) video to a premises includes receiving live ABR transport stream-based content for a channel from a content server; encapsulating transport stream (TS) packets for the content in RTP packets to form RTP content packets; encapsulating in RTP packets an aggregate manifest for a plurality of ABR streams for the content to form RTP manifest packets; multiplexing the RTP content packets and the RTP manifest packets; and transmitting the multiplexed RTP packets as a multicast stream.

  • Patent number: 10735823
    Abstract: A method and device for providing live adaptive bitrate (ABR) video to a client device using a multicast-to-unicast-ABR proxy is disclosed. The method includes responsive to the client device tuning to a channel or requesting a change in profile for the channel, requesting from a distribution server a burst of video fragments for the channel using a selected profile, the burst of video fragments to be delivered via unicast; responsive to the burst being completed, requesting to join a multicast for the channel, the multicast using the selected profile; and providing video for the channel to the client device via unicast using the selected profile.
