  • Methods and systems for intelligent utilization of off-peak network bandwidth
    Patent number: 11736546
    Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligent use of off-peak bandwidth are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving a request for content from a user device. The content server can transmit the content to the user device. Upon receiving a teardown command to suspend transmission of the content, after transmitting a first portion of the content to the user device, the content server can determine that playback of the content is likely to be resumed at a peak time. The content server can then pre-position a second portion of the content proximate to the user device prior to the peak time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
