Zhi Li - Martinez CA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, LP - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04N 21/472
US Classification:

725 93
Abstract:

A method of delivering video content includes identifying a television program scheduled to be broadcast at a time during a peak viewing period, and identifying a recipient multimedia storage device that is to receive video content associated with the television program. The method also includes sending the video content associated with the television program to the recipient multimedia storage device during a non-peak viewing period that precedes the peak viewing period. The video content includes data to prevent viewing of the video content prior to the time when the television program is scheduled to be broadcast.

H04N 21/433
Abstract:

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying video content having a scheduled broadcast time during a first viewing period that satisfies a viewership threshold and facilitating a transfer of the video content to a multimedia storage device. The video content is transferred to the multimedia storage device during a second viewing period prior to the first viewing period. The video content includes the data to prevent the multimedia storage device from sending the video content to another device prior to the time when the program is scheduled to be broadcast. Other embodiments are disclosed.

US Patent:

20160352826, Dec 1, 2016
Filed:

Nov 19, 2015
Appl. No.:

14/946506
Inventors:

- Austin TX, US
Zhi Li - Austin TX, US
International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 12/26
H04L 29/06
Abstract:

A multimedia system includes a source device for providing a media stream and a sink device for playing the media stream. The source device encapsulates the media stream into data packets with corresponding timestamps associated with a first wall time, and transmits the data packets to the sink device based on the timestamps and the first wall time. The sink device provides a second wall time based on the second global clock, synchronizes the second wall time with the first wall time through a network protocol, generates a local media clock, and locks the local media clock to the second global clock. The sink device decapsulates the data packets, and then plays the media stream with the locked local media clock. A play-out time of each data packet is determined by a corresponding timestamp and the second wall time.

Abstract:

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a request to record video content at a multimedia storage device, wherein the video content corresponds to a program having a scheduled broadcast time that occurs during a peak viewing period. Data is obtained to prevent viewing of the video content prior to the broadcast time. The video content, responsive to the identifying of the request, is sent selectively to the multimedia storage device during a non-peak viewing period prior to the peak viewing period. The video content includes the data to prevent the multimedia storage device from sending the video content to another device prior to the time when the program is scheduled to be broadcast. Other embodiments are disclosed.
