Patent number: 11863810Abstract: A method for media content streaming includes: determining, from a plurality of media content items, multiple predicted media content items and multiple playback positions, based on history data of a user; transcoding a portion of each of the multiple predicted media content items to generate multiple passive adaptive streamlets for each of the multiple predicted media content items at different bitrates; receiving a command to start playback of a first predicted media content item selected from the multiple predicted media content items; outputting a first passive adaptive streamlet selected from the multiple passive adaptive streamlets of the first predicted media content item; while outputting the first passive adaptive streamlet, requesting, receiving, and transcoding a second portion of the first predicted media content item to generate an active adaptive streamlet of the first predicted media content item; immediately following outputting the first passive adaptive streamlet, outputting the active adaptType: GrantFiled: February 14, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: Deepak Sharma, Vimalraj Ganesan

Publication number: 20230352059Abstract: Devices, systems, and processes for reducing interruptions due to a presentation timestamp restart (PTSrs) are provided. A process includes receiving content data packets identifiable by a timestamp. The timestamps vary between a PTSmin and a PTSmax. When PTSmax is reached, a next data packet is restarted at substantially equal to PTSmin. The process includes first determining whether one of the timestamps have restarted and, if so, generating a loop over index file associating a first timestamp with a first index value (A), a second timestamp with a second index value (B), a third timestamp with a third index value (C), and a fourth timestamp with a fourth index value (D). PTSrs may be detected when the second timestamp is greater than the fourth timestamp or when the first timestamp is greater than the third timestamp. When a restart occurs, adjustments to content playback sequence are made using the index values.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Vimalraj Ganesan, Deepak Sharma, Devaraja Huvinahalli

Publication number: 20230345561Abstract: Various arrangements for performing setup of a wireless network without pairing are provided. A request mapped to a first characteristic may be transmitted using a first wireless protocol. In response to the request mapped to the first characteristic, a listing of one or more wireless networks within range mapped to a second characteristic may be transmitted by a peripheral device. Using the first wireless communication protocol, a third characteristic mapped to the selected wireless network and the password may be transmitted to the peripheral device. A connection to the selected wireless network using the password and the second wireless communication protocol may then be performed by the peripheral device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Vimalraj Ganesan, Prakhar Jaiswal

Patent number: 11778250Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving the delivery of streamed audiovisual content derived from over-the-air digital television signals by reducing streaming start latency are described. In response to detecting a request from a client device to begin a streaming session for a video stream captured by an over-the-air antenna, a streaming device in communication with the client device via a wired or wireless networking connection may transmit a reduced resolution version of the video stream to the client device, establish encryption and decryption keys for a secure connection with the client device while the reduced resolution version of the video stream is transmitted to the client device, communicate a point in time after which an encrypted version of the video stream will be transmitted to the client device, and transmit the encrypted version of the video stream to the client device starting at the point in time.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: DISH NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES INDIA PRIVATE LIMITEDInventors: Vimalraj Ganesan, Rakesh Eluvan, Amit Kumar
