Publication number: 20230141884Abstract: Methods and apparatus for just-in-time streaming media. Existing content delivery networks are optimized for providing mass media to many consumers. This delivery model is poorly suited to user-specific content. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure create a program instance that can service a client's media requests from their archival data. In one specific implementation, the archival data is stored segments that are ready for streaming; a content server may provide either a consolidated file or a media “quasi-stream” from the same storage object(s). The quasi-stream supports progressive playback (media playback as it is being downloaded.) The program instance provides the client device the illusion of a static file system, however client requested access to HTTP file downloads are provided in packets that are transmuxed/transcoded from archival data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Dennedy, Rahul Iyengar, Cedric Fernandes

Patent number: 11470335Abstract: Multiple videos having individual time durations may be obtained, including a first video with a first time duration. The videos may include visual information defined by one or more electronic media files. An initial portion of the first time duration where the one or more electronic media are to be transcoded may be determined, including determining whether the first time duration is greater than a predefined threshold and if the first time duration is greater than the predefined threshold, determining the initial portion to be an initial time duration that is less than the first time duration. One or more transcoded media files may be generated during the initial portion. A request for the first video may be received from a client computing platform. In response to receipt of the request, the one or more transcoded media files may be transmitted to the client computing platform for display.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Cedric Fernandes

Patent number: 10831353Abstract: Described herein are techniques and mechanisms for personalized timeline presentation. Client devices may be presented with video content in association with a content management account. A video content item may be associated with more than one pause point, with each pause point indicating a time at which playback of the video content item was paused. Different profiles associated with the content management account may be associated with different pause points for the same video content item. Playback of the video content item may be resumed at one of the pause points when one of the profiles is selected.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Kay Johansson, Cedric Fernandes

Patent number: 9462302Abstract: Media such as live media streams can be efficiently delineated and distributed to a variety of devices using a number of different mechanisms. A particular media sequence can be identified by a device user to allow a content server or fragment server to generate a media segment that can be shared or distributed using mechanisms such as social networks. A device user may provide marker indicators, time frames, event triggers, etc., that indicate to a content server where a media segment can be delineated. A link to the media segment may be provided along with pre-roll and post-roll targeted or content-specific advertising to a variety of other users.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Anders Odlund, Cedric Fernandes

Patent number: 9330429Abstract: A media stream is delineated into multiple fragments. Different watermark variants of individual fragments are generated. Particular sequences of watermark variants are selected for particular clients and maintained in a user access database. Analyzing media streams allows determination of the sequences of watermark variants and identification of particular clients intended to receive the media streams. Fragments can continue to be cached efficiently and unique watermarks need not be generated for each individual client.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Fritz Barnes, Kent Karlsson, Cedric Fernandes
