  • Publication number: 20170359626
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for controlling the operation of a media playback device are presented here. An exemplary embodiment of a control method receives user interaction data that indicates content consumption behavior of at least one user of a media services delivery system. The user interaction data is processed to obtain playback prediction data for a particular subscriber of the media services delivery system. The method continues by determining that a particular video event is being presented by the media playback device to the particular subscriber, and by generating control commands in accordance with the playback prediction data. The control commands automatically modify playback characteristics of the particular video event during presentation to the particular subscriber.

  • Patent number: 9258611
    Abstract: While receiving content from a source via a first connection, a receiver determines the connection is interrupted, selects an alternative source, and continues to receive the content from the alternative source via a second connection. In some implementations, the alternative source may be a server. In implementations, the alternative source may be additional receivers configured in a peer-to-peer arrangement. In various implementations, after the receiver determines that the first connection is interrupted, the receiver may utilize the second connection until finished receiving the content, continue receiving the content utilizing the first connection once no longer interrupted, or determine that the second connection is interrupted and select an additional alternative source to continue receiving the content from via a third connection.
