Patent number: 8825887Abstract: 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: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Single Touch Interactive R&D IP, LLCInventors: Charles A.

Publication number: 20040025186Abstract: A system and method for streaming media comprises a stream routing processor, a switch controller, a stream caster, media storage, and a packet switch. The stream routing processor determines if the stream caster is configured to stream requested media. The switch controller monitors the status of all devices and events and notifies the stream routing processor if an error or alarm condition occurs. The stream caster streams media upon receiving a valid reservation identification. The media storage stores the media for retrieval by the stream caster. The packet switch transmits signaling and media from the system and between devices of the system, including the stream routing processor, the switch controller, the stream caster, and the media storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2001Publication date: February 5, 2004Inventors: Charles A.
