  • Patent number: 11310540
    Abstract: In one example, a device includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to execute a Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) aware application (DAA) and a DASH client, and one or more user interfaces. The DAA subscribes to DASH events of a DASH event stream via a first application programming interface (API) between the DAA and a DASH client executed by the one or more processors. The DAA then receives data for one or more DASH events of the DASH event stream from the DASH client via a second API between the DAA and the DASH client, the data for the one or more DASH events specifying interactivity-related content. The DAA then presents the interactivity-related content via the one or more user interfaces. The DAA may further send usage measurements on usage of the interactivity-related content to the DASH client, for reporting to a report server device.
