Patent number: 8635270Abstract: A device receives media objects and metadata associated with the media objects, and utilizes a portion of threads to upload, to a first server, metadata for a portion of the received media objects. The device also utilizes, after the metadata for the portion of the media objects is uploaded, a remaining portion of the threads to upload, to the first server, metadata for a remaining portion of the media objects. The device further utilizes a first thread and a second thread to upload a first two media objects to a second server after the metadata for the remaining portion of the media objects is uploaded, and utilizes, after the first two media objects are uploaded, a third thread and a fourth thread to upload a next two media objects to the second server.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Sunil Limbasia, Abhilash Paul, Aravind Perumandla
