  • Managing data in a data queue including synchronization of media on multiple devices
    Patent number: 9787523
    Abstract: A method of managing data in a data queue includes analyzing media currently being played, or to be played by a first computing device functioning as a leader to identify an offset into the media and a timestamp corresponding to the offset. A buffer duration is calculated that corresponds to an amount of time that the data queue takes to output data currently in the data queue. The media is played at the leader and a second computing device functioning as a follower, in a substantially synchronized manner, by inputting data to the data queue at a specified time based on the calculated buffer duration, the offset, and the timestamp.
