Patent number: 11520474Abstract: This disclosure concerns the providing of media, and more particularly to the streaming of media. In accordance with an example embodiment: a portion of a day is determined; a first data message is sent to a computer server system. The first data message comprises instructions to the computer server system to return media content associated with the determined portion of the day. A second data message is received from the computer server system, the second data message comprising media content associated with the determined portion of the day. In response thereto is playback performed of the media content at the user interface of the electronic device in dependence of the determined portion of the day. While performing playback is a visual appearance parameter of the user interface adjusted according the determined portion of the day.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: SPOTIFY ABInventors: Karl-Johan Persson, Steven Paul Everington, Fredric Vinnå, Stig Gustav Viktor Söderström, Daniel Galfvensjö, Ari Liusaari, Dejan Sormaz, Felice Mancino, Samwoo E

Patent number: 11392285Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing video, and more particularly to streaming of video. There is described a method and a system for performing scrubbing in a video stream of a video item selected at a media device. The video item is streamed from a server system to the media device. The method comprises dividing the selected video item into a number of segments and selecting a first snippet for each segment, which snippet is pre-buffered. The video stream of a first segment of the selected video item is played at the media device simultaneously as scrubbing to a second segment of the selected video item. When the scrubbing is done the video stream of the first segment stops and the first snippet of the second segment starts playing seamlessly.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: SPOTIFY ABInventors: Karl-Johan Persson, Steven Paul Everington, Fredric Vinna, Stig Gustav Viktor Soderstrom

Publication number: 20160337429Abstract: This disclosure concerns the providing of media, and more particularly to the streaming of media. In accordance with an example embodiment: while receiving a first media content item of the streamed media content, a request for a second media content item is received, and a first data message sent to the computer server system, to return the second media content item. In response to receiving a second data message the electronic device begins to perform playback of the second media content item combined with the playback of the first media content item at the user interface of the electronic device, e.g. by pausing the first media content item. The electronic device receives a request for including the second media content item in a playlist associated with a current portion of the day, and includes the second media content item into the playlist associated with the current portion of the day.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2015Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: KARL-JOHAN PERSSON, STEVEN PAUL EVERINGTON, FREDRIC VINNÅ, STIG GUSTAV VIKTOR SÖDERSTRÖM
