  • Patent number: 9250771
    Abstract: A computer network for asynchronously ingesting media content into a content management system (CMS) is disclosed. The network includes a client computer located in a first geographical location, a server computer located in a second geographical location and a liaison computer located in a third geographical location. The client computer communicates with the server computer by way of a substandard network connection that is subject to frequent interruptions and/or low bandwidth. The liaison computer communicates with the server computer by way of a reliable network. The client computer includes a user interface wizard component that edits and bundles media content and prompts a user to select between uploading content to the server computer by way of the substandard network (e.g. piecemeal between interruptions) or storing the content in a local mobile storage device for uploading from the liaison computer.
