Patent number: 9450996Abstract: The system and method for streaming media to a viewer and managing the media comprises an enhanced service routing processor (ESRP), a real time switch management system (RTSMS), a name routing processor (NRP), and a managed media switch (MMS). The RTSMS has a reservation system. The ESRP receives media from an owner, manages the media according to media rules and order rules defined by the owner, and distributes the media to one or more switches, such as the MMS, according to the media rules and the order rules. The RTSMS is configured to receive the media rules and to receive a viewer's media request via the reservation server. The reservation system of the RTSMS processes the media request according to the media rules and builds a reservation for the requested media. The RTSMS generates the reservation to the viewer and to the NRP. The NRP receives the reservation data from the viewer and from the RTSMS. The NRP processes the reservation data and locates an MMS that can stream the media to the viewer.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLCInventors: Charles A. Jennings, Donald H. Bate

Publication number: 20160156686Abstract: A system includes a routing processor with a combination of hardware and software and a plurality of streaming devices. The routing processor receives from the communication device an identification associated with a request by the communication device to have the media streamed to the communication device. The routing processor determines if the identification associated with the request is valid and determines if at least one of the plurality of streaming devices is able to stream at least a portion of the media to the communication device. If the routing processor determines that the identification associated with the request is valid and that the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices is able to stream the at least the portion of the media to the communication device, the routing processor identifies to the communication device the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2016Publication date: June 2, 2016Inventors: Charles A.
