Abstract: A system and method for reducing the delay and optimizing the process of delivering real-time media segments on communication networks. This is accomplished by allowing media segment requests to be queued ahead of the time that the segment exists. The system includes the ability to request segments by selected criteria or by explicit reference naming techniques. This reduces delay and optimizes bandwidth usage when applied within otherwise high latency communication networks, including Content Delivery Networks.

Abstract: The present invention provides a major innovative development in low latency live streaming at scale which includes a Viewer to transmit a series of requests for Media Segments ahead-of-time the Media Segment data is expected to exist and a Server capable of delivering Media Segment data, as it is being generated, to one or more Viewers. Specifically, the invention incorporates a method of embedding Playlist Data into Media Segment data to enhance ultra-low latency playback, while providing an immediate transferring of essential Playlist Data to the Viewer.

Abstract: A system and method for altering a device identification address in response to various criteria to hinder tacking of the device location. One version of the system uses the physical location of the device as criteria for manipulating the device address in locations that are not recognizable by stored location information and returning the identification address to a preset address in locations that are recognizable. A second version of the invention uses a pair of identification addresses which when recognized together provide a basis for using a given identification address and when not paired together actuates a different identification address to defeat tracking systems.
