  • Patent number: 12096053
    Abstract: The platform is directed to various aspects of content transmission. The platform causes a viewing device to receive fragment-level metadata associated with a first fragment of content. The platform receives a request for a second fragment of the content, immediately subsequent to the first fragment of the content. The platform determines that the second fragment of the content is not stored at a content storage device at a time of receiving the request, and that the second fragment of the content is expected to be stored at the content storage device within a defined time period. Responsive to these determinations, the platform holds the received request for the defined time period. The platform determines, prior to expiration of the defined time period, that the second fragment of the content is stored at the content storage device, and transmits the second fragment of the content to the viewing device.

  • Patent number: 11356493
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a system comprising a client source device, a server, and a client viewing device. The client source device may be configured to: encode content as a plurality of fragments of at least one quality parameter, send each encoded fragment to a cloud storage, generate metadata associated with each encoded fragment, and provide the generated metadata associated with each encoded fragment. The server may be configured to: receive each encoded fragment, store each encoded fragment into the cloud storage for retrieval, and facilitate an authentication for access to the metadata associated with each encoded fragment. A client viewing device configured to request the authentication for access to the metadata, receive the metadata, determine a desired fragment of the plurality of fragments encoded in a desired quality parameter, and retrieve the desired fragment in the desired quality parameter.

  • Patent number: 11315340
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, methods, techniques, and computer program products for estimating a Region Of Interest (ROI) corresponding to a plurality of content streams. A method may include receiving a plurality of sensor data associated with a plurality of mobile devices. The plurality of sensor data corresponds to a plurality of content streams captured by the plurality of mobile devices. Further, each of the plurality of mobile devices may include at least one recorder configured to capture a corresponding content stream. Further, a sensor data associated with a mobile device may include a location data and an orientation data of the mobile device during capturing of a content stream. The method may further include, analyzing, by the system, the plurality of sensor data and determining, by the system, a ROI based on at least the plurality of sensor data, thereby generating an estimation of the ROI.

  • Patent number: 11196788
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of aggregating content streams. The method may include receiving, using a communication unit, a plurality of content streams from a plurality of mobile devices. Further, each of the plurality of mobile devices may include at least one recorder configured to generate a content stream. Furthermore, each of the plurality of content streams may be associated with at least one metadata. Additionally, the method may include analyzing, using a processing unit, the at least one metadata. Further, the method may include aggregating, using the processing unit, the plurality of content streams into an aggregated content stream container based on a result of the analyzing.

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, methods, techniques, and computer program products for estimating a Region Of Interest (ROI) corresponding to a plurality of content streams. The method may include receiving, by a system having at least one processor, a plurality of sensor data associated with a plurality of mobile devices. The plurality of sensor data corresponds to a plurality of content streams captured by the plurality of mobile devices. Further, each of the plurality of mobile devices may include at least one recorder configured to capture a corresponding content steam. Further, a sensor data associated with a mobile device may include a location data and an orientation data of the mobile device during capturing of a content stream. The method may further include, analyzing, by the system, the plurality of sensor data and determining, by the system, a ROI based on at least the plurality of sensor data, thereby generating an estimation of the ROI.
