  • Publication number: 20240430503
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium may comprise instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, may cause execution of operations. A viewing device may receive fragment-level metadata associated with a first fragment of content. A request for a second fragment of the content immediately subsequent to the first fragment may be received from the viewing device. It may be determined that the second fragment is not stored at a content storage device but is expected to be stored within a defined time period. The request may be held for the defined time period. Prior to expiration of the defined time period, it may be determined that the second fragment is stored at the content storage device. The second fragment may be transmitted to the viewing device.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium may comprise instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, may cause execution of operations. The operations may comprise receiving, at a viewing device, metadata associated with a first fragment of content. The operations may comprise transmitting, from the viewing device to the content storage device, a first request for the first fragment of the content. The operations may comprise transmitting, from the viewing device to a content storage device, a second request for a second fragment of the content, the second fragment of the content immediately preceding the first fragment of the content. The operations may comprise receiving, at the viewing device, the first fragment of the content and the second fragment of the content. The operations may comprise processing the first fragment of the content and the second fragment of the content.

  • Patent number: 12096053
    Abstract: The platform is directed to various aspects of content transmission. The platform causes a viewing device to receive fragment-level metadata associated with a first fragment of content. The platform receives a request for a second fragment of the content, immediately subsequent to the first fragment of the content. The platform determines that the second fragment of the content is not stored at a content storage device at a time of receiving the request, and that the second fragment of the content is expected to be stored at the content storage device within a defined time period. Responsive to these determinations, the platform holds the received request for the defined time period. The platform determines, prior to expiration of the defined time period, that the second fragment of the content is stored at the content storage device, and transmits the second fragment of the content to the viewing device.

  • Publication number: 20230297539
    Abstract: The present platform includes a portable computing device comprising at least one hardware processor. The platform is configured to perform operations including receiving content data at a portable computing device, and processing the content data using the portable computing device, such that the processed data is stored as one or more processed content files in a streaming file format that can be distributed to and consumed by end users at one or more downstream devices. The platform is further configured to receive, at the portable computing device, a request for at least one file, of the processed content files, and distribute the requested at least one file to one or more downstream devices.

  • Publication number: 20230283865
    Abstract: The present platform helps to synchronize presentation of content and visualization of data associated with the content. Embodiments of the platform may include one or methods, systems, and/or computer readable media for causing a device to receive, from a content source, content comprising one or more of video data and audio data, for packaging into a content file. The device may further receive, from a data source, secondary data for synchronous visualization with the received content. The device may package the received content and the received secondary data into a singleMP4 container. The device may transmit the packaged single container including the content and the secondary data to one or more viewing devices for synchronous display of both the content and the secondary data.

  • Patent number: 6952743
    Abstract: The SCSI control block interface provides for distributed processing of storage commands that provides transports and processing blocks the ability to interconnect with each other independent of the underlying transport or hardware architecture. The interface receives a SCSI control block from a transport and determines a storage command associated with the SCSI control block. Based upon the storage command, a particular processor that processes the storage command is determined. The SCSI control block is routed to the appropriate processor for processing. After processing, the SCB is routed to a transport for delivery.
