20100153578 | Method and Apparatus for Peer to Peer Streaming - In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, An apparatus, comprising a processor configured to assign at least one of a plurality of real time transport protocol data units to at least one of at least two peer to peer partial real-time transport protocol streaming sessions, based at least in part on at least one timestamp associated with the at least one of the plurality of real time protocol data units. The plurality of real time transport protocol data units, is associated with the real time transport protocol media stream. | 06-17-2010 |
20100312906 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENABLING GENERATION OF A SUMMARY OF A DATA STREAM - A summary of a data stream, comprising a plurality of segments, is generated. A data stream, comprising a plurality of segments, is transmitted to a plurality of users (step | 12-09-2010 |
20100329126 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING BROKEN PATH IN PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A method comprises (a) detecting a packet loss in a partial data packet stream in a peer-to-peer network; (b) signaling an indication of lost packets to one or more sending peers serving the partial data packet stream corresponding to the packet loss; (c) after expiration of a threshold period of time without receiving lost packets, signaling one or more candidate peers a request for retransmission of the lost packets, the candidate peers being peers not serving the partial data packet stream; and (d) receiving the lost packets through one of the candidate peers. | 12-30-2010 |
20100332674 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALING OF BUFFER CONTENT IN A PEER-TO-PEER STREAMING NETWORK - Methods, devices and computer program products for facilitating the selection of a sourcing peer in peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming environment are disclosed. These methods allow peers to select candidate source peers in an informed manner with low overhead and minimized complexity. These and other features are accomplished by signalling detailed information regarding the buffer contents to one or more requesting peers. This information includes the presence or absence of requested content segments and a listing of gaps in the requested content segments, which allow the requesting peers to select an appropriate sourcing peer. The selection of a sourcing peer is also effected by considering network connectivity and/or network congestion status between the sourcing and the requesting peers. | 12-30-2010 |
20110083155 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF MEDIA STREAM COMPONENTS - There is provided a method for synchronizing a plurality of components of a broadcast media stream, the method comprising buffering ( | 04-07-2011 |
20110231882 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN TWO DEVICES - The present invention provides a method of communicating between two devices, wherein these devices receive a signal requesting a second device to play a first broadcast audio/video content being played by a first device. The method comprises a step of generating a fingerprint of the first broadcast audio/video content being played on said first device and a series of fingerprints of a series of broadcast audio/video contents received by the second device; and a step of identifying said first broadcast audio/video content from said series of broadcast audio/video contents in accordance with said fingerprint of the first broadcast audio/video content and said series of fingerprints. | 09-22-2011 |
