Local Cache Maintenance For Media Content

View page
US Patent:
20210120096, Apr 22, 2021
Filed:
Dec 29, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/137227
Inventors:
- San Jose CA, US
Derik Yarnell - Montrose CO, US
International Classification:
H04L 29/08
H04N 21/433
H04N 21/6587
G11B 27/00
G11B 27/10
H04L 29/06
Abstract:
A media device and methods that identify playback states reachable from a current content playback state and identify a reachable state that is likely to occur, are disclosed. A memory associated with the media device may receive frames that enable a smooth transition between the playback state and the reachable state. The media device may receive frames that correspond to points in the content that are separated by an amount of time that is proportional to the playback rate of the likely state. The frames may be frames corresponding to an image that may be played back at the playback rate of the likely state.

US Patent:
20210021882, Jan 21, 2021
Filed:
Jul 24, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/938682
Inventors:
- Philadelphia PA, US
Benny PRUDEN - Brownstown PA, US
Jeffrey WANNAMAKER - Ontario, CA
Derik YARNELL - Montrose CO, US
International Classification:
H04N 21/2387
H04N 21/2187
H04N 21/218
Abstract:
Methods and systems for managing data and/or operations on data are disclosed. A method can comprise receiving content from a first storage medium for playback. The received content can comprise a stored first portion of a transport stream. At least a portion of the received content can be caused to playback. A playback position of the at least a portion of the received content can be determined relative to a live position of the transport stream. If the determined playback position of the at least a portion of the received content is outside a predetermined threshold proximity to the live position, a second portion of the transport stream can be stored to the first storage medium. If the determined playback position of the received content is within the predetermined threshold proximity to the live position, the second portion of the transport stream can be stored to a second storage medium.

US Patent:
20200053398, Feb 13, 2020
Filed:
Aug 8, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/058514
Inventors:
- Philadelphia PA, US
Patrick Ladd - San Marcos CA, US
Derik Yarnell - Montrose CO, US
International Classification:
H04N 21/235
H04N 21/2662
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computing devices are described herein for request and transmission, to a computing device, of media content based on the importance of a portion of the media content. Media content may comprise baseline media content and enhancement data. Based on determining that an importance of a portion of the media content meets a threshold, the computing device may retrieve the enhancement data. The computing device may retrieve the enhancement data via a separate interface than the baseline media content. Information about baseline media content, enhancement data, and the importance of a portion of the media content may be contained in a manifest. The threshold for importance may be based on the media content and/or user preferences.
