  • Publication number: 20240340245
    Abstract: A computerized method distributes data to devices associated with a local gateway using data distribution rules. Device data that identifies a first device and a second device of a local gateway is obtained and it is determined that the first device is a higher priority device using that device data. A data distribution rule is determined that prioritizes distribution of response data to the first device and that data distribution rule is assigned to a data plan profile associated with the local gateway. A first data request is received from the first device and a second data request is received from the second device. Response data is sent to the local gateway according to the data distribution rule, wherein response data to the first data request sent to the first device via the local gateway is prioritized over response data to the second data request sent to the second device.

  • Patent number: 12101536
    Abstract: A method of selective pre-caching content fragments is disclosed. The method comprises receiving and analyzing, by an analytics engine, environment data pertaining to a wireless communication device and, based on the analyzing and based on a media presentation response, determining, by a pre-cache manager, an amount of fragments to provide to the wireless communication device for pre-caching to enable playback of the content at a certain quality. The method also comprises selecting, by the pre-cache manager, a subset of fragments of the content based on the determined amount of fragments and sending, by the computer system, the subset of fragments to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device pre-caches the subset of fragments and presents the content using the cached subset of fragments and remaining fragments received from a content delivery network. The method further comprises receiving, by the analytics engine, playback data from the content delivery network.
