20080201446 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT A USER'S MEDIA COLLECTIONS FROM MULTIPLE LOGIN POINTS - A system and method for collecting information about a user's media collections at a central location from multiple login points and/or multiple devices owned by the user. The user establishes a user account at a central server. A client application may be downloaded to the user's device for establishing a connection to the central server. Subsequently, each time the user logs in to the central server, the central server receives a unique machine identifier (MID) for the connected and currently in-use user device. The central server receives information about the user's media collection from the user device and stores that media collection by its MID under the user's individual account. In this manner, the central server obtains and stores information about all the user's media collections owned by user devices connected and in-use and previously connected to the central server rather than only having knowledge of the media collection stored on the currently in-use user device. | 08-21-2008 |

20130031210 | OPTIMIZED NEAR-SIMULTANEOUS DISTRIBUTION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT - The “swarming” behavior of multimedia content distribution network subscribers—numerous, near-simultaneous requests for the same content by different users—is predicted, based on analysis of past viewing habits. Users are grouped based on correlations in the multimedia content requested and the time at which it is requested. When a set of users of a group requests particular multimedia content, that content is autonomously distributed, via a shared distribution channel, to the terminal equipment of all users in the group, where it is buffered. As other users in the group request the same multimedia content, an initial portion is distributed to each requesting user via an individual channel. As the rendered content catches up to the buffered content, the terminal equipment switches from the content delivered via the individual distribution channel to the buffered content. The individual distribution is then terminated, and the individual distribution channel released. | 01-31-2013 |

The cache supports multiple streams of fragments to multiple calling nodes without delay or deterioration of transfer rates. A plurality of metrics programs monitor the data demands on each node, the usage of each node's hard drive, and the transfer rates possible from the assigned node and provide that information to the network in a database available to all nodes. The network administrator, utilizing a contrarian selection method, pushes disaggregated data to the nodes in the network to evenly load data throughout the network and to fully load the node's hard drives. | 01-31-2013 |
20130031212 | GATEWAY AND IN-VEHICLE NETWORK SYSTEM - An in-vehicle system comprising a gateway between multiple networks is disclosed. One of the networks specifies that when a source apparatus connected to the one of the networks sends a request message to a destination apparatus connected to another one of the networks, the source apparatus should time-out if the source apparatus does not receive a response message within a specified time after sending the request message.

20130304864 | Publishing-Point Management for Content Delivery Network - A system and method for delivering content objects over the Internet to an end user system with a content delivery network (CDN) is disclosed. The system and method allow for dynamically serving content objects by loading and/or reconfiguring publishing points upon receipt of an end user request. When a content object is requested by an end user media player, the request is assigned to an edge server within a particular POP of the CDN. An optional peer-discovery algorithm is used to determine a content source for the requested content object within the CDN. The peer-discovery algorithm first determines whether the publishing point associated with the requested content object is loaded into the edge server. Alternatively, the peer-discovery algorithm queries other edge servers within or remote from the particular POP to determine whether the request for content object is mapped by other edge servers to a content source using their respective publishing points. Once the content source for the requested content object is determined, the edge server reconfigures its publishing point toward the content source. Ultimately, the content object is streamed to the end user media player. Management of the publishing points avoids performance degradations on the edge server in some embodiments. | 11-14-2013 |

20160105530 | System and Method for Improving Internet Communication by Using Intermediate Nodes - A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device access an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both. The partition into slices may be overlapping or non-overlapping, and the same slice (or the whole content) may be fetched via multiple tunnel devices. | 04-14-2016 |

20160150006 | DEVICE DATA TRANSFER VIA A WIRELESS INTERFACE - Mobile device data transfer via a wireless network is disclosed. A data manager component (DMC) on a carrier-side of an air interface can receive a request for data from a device located on a client-side of the air interface. The DMC can collect data related to the data request. Data can be collected by the DMC from remotely located servers. The collected data can be parsed to facilitate determining additional data that can be collected based on the request for data. The collected data and additional data can be bundled and returned via the air interface to the device on the client-side. Bundling the collected data and additional data can be in accord with an IND scheme, an ONLD scheme, a PARCEL(X) scheme, etc. This can improve load times associate with the requested data and can also reduce power consumption associated with the data transfer over the air interface. | 05-26-2016 |
