Publication number: 20230141884Abstract: Methods and apparatus for just-in-time streaming media. Existing content delivery networks are optimized for providing mass media to many consumers. This delivery model is poorly suited to user-specific content. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure create a program instance that can service a client's media requests from their archival data. In one specific implementation, the archival data is stored segments that are ready for streaming; a content server may provide either a consolidated file or a media “quasi-stream” from the same storage object(s). The quasi-stream supports progressive playback (media playback as it is being downloaded.) The program instance provides the client device the illusion of a static file system, however client requested access to HTTP file downloads are provided in packets that are transmuxed/transcoded from archival data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Dennedy, Rahul Iyengar, Cedric Fernandes

Patent number: 10348951Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the capture and coordination of audio and/or video data across connected devices in a communications system. The communications system may include at least two media devices in communication via a network. One of the media devices may be a media application device configured to provide one or more media applications. Another of the media devices may be a media input device configured to capture video and/or audio data. Coordination between a media application and a media input device may be facilitated by a driver layer configured to communicate with the applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2014Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: MobiTV, Inc.Inventor: Rahul Iyengar

Publication number: 20150058903Abstract: Geographic context may be used to recommend media content items for consumption by users of a media content management system. A request for a media content recommendation may be associated with a content management account and a geographic location. The media content management system may determine whether the geographic location includes individuals who are not associated with the content management account. If the geographic location includes such individuals, the system may recommend content suitable for sharing such as games, music playlists, movies, or television programs.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Applicant: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Rahul Iyengar, Chad Kalmes, Mark Jacobson, Tim Lynch

Publication number: 20130109349Abstract: According to various embodiments, verifying a mobile identity includes obtaining a mobile identifier, a user name, and a password. The mobile identifier is verified using a verification sequence such as double opt-in process. The mobile identifier is associated with the user name and the password at a content server. The user name and the password are periodically requested and the mobile identifier is periodically reobtained in order to authorize the user to continue to access an application such as a mobile media application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: MOBITV, INC.Inventor: Rahul Iyengar
