  • Server selected variable bitrate streaming
    Patent number: 12335033
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for server selected bitrate streaming. A server receives a request from a user device for data segments at a first bitrate. The server determines a second bitrate for transmission of the data segments to the user device. The server transmits the requested data segments at the determined second bitrate.
    Type: Grant

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTENT DELIVERY USING SERVER PUSH
    Publication number: 20240430337
    Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to providing content from a source to a user device. In one implementation, a source such as a server receives a request for a master manifest file. The server may identify one or more other manifest files and at least one data block associated with the content. The other manifest files can include manifest files referenced by the master manifest file, or can include manifest files associated with related content. The requested master manifest, the one or more other manifest files, and the at least one data block can be pushed to the user device.
