Abstract: In an adaptive steaming system, a media server for performing adaptive streaming on media contents sends to a client device a media presentation description (MPD) file including information specifying streaming adaptation parameters. The media server receives a request from the client device. The request includes a data object location indicator and a query string containing at least one of the values of the streaming adaptation parameters. After receiving the request, the media server selects a data object to be returned to the client device based on at least one of the data object location indicator and the query string and sends a response with the data object to the client device.

Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are described to transfer a media program from a media server to a playback device over a network. The media program is encoded in a multi-layer format having a plurality of layers comprising a base layer and at least one additional layer. The base layer supports playback of the entire media program at a lower resolution and each of the additional layers provides additional data that, when combined with the base layer, supports playback of the media program at a higher resolution. The base layer is initially transferred to allow playback of the media program at the lower resolution on the playback device. If sufficient resources remain after transfer of the base layer, then at least one of the additional layers may be subsequently transferred to allow playback of the media program at the higher resolution.

Abstract: A media streaming method and a device using the same are introduced herein. The disclosure introduces a method for smooth and flawless playback of live media streaming in dynamic network environment.

In one embodiment, the disclosure introduces a method for smooth and flawless playback of live media streaming by caching a certain amount of media data and then playing them at an appropriate speed to catch up to the progress of the live media streaming, or by dynamically changing bit rates of the live media streaming in time by the provider to meet the most acceptable bit rate according to the network environment between the provider and the receiver.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating communication between message producers and message consumers is disclosed. When a message producer is interested in identifying a message consumer for processing generated messages, the message producer declares a consumer identification rule. A messaging service manager identifies a set of suitable message consumers by comparing the consumer identification rule with a set of attributes associated with each of the message consumers registered with the messaging service manager and assigns channels associated with the set of identified message consumers to the message producer. The message producer may select a channel associated with a message consumer to initiate communication between the message producer and the message consumer.
