20140222967 | TRANSPARENT MEDIA DELIVERY AND PROXY - Systems and methods for selecting a delivery policy and/or protocol via which to delivery media and other content from a content provider to a receiving device, is described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods access a request from an application supported by a mobile device to receive a media file from a remote content server, select a delivery policy via which to deliver the media file from the remote content server to the application based on information associated with the media file, and cause the media file to be delivered from the remote content server to the application via the selected delivery policy. | 08-07-2014 |
20140280996 | PRE-DELIVERY OF CONTENT TO DEVICES - Systems and methods for pre-delivering content to user devices are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may assign a user device to a group of user devices that receive content from a common network edge cache, identify one or more differences between content delivered to the user device and content delivered to the group of user devices via the common network edge cache, select a piece of content to deliver to the user device based on the identified one or more differences of content, and cause delivery of the selected piece of content to the user device. | 09-18-2014 |
20150026289 | CONTENT SOURCE DISCOVERY - Systems and methods for discovering content sources and/or delivering content to applications resident on mobile devices are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods transmit information identifying one or more applications resident on a mobile device to a server, receive, from the server, information associated with content items available for retrieval from a content server and associated with the identified one or more applications, and cause the mobile device to retrieve at least one of the content items available for retrieval from the content server. | 01-22-2015 |
20150039593 | PRE-DELIVERY OF CONTENT TO A USER DEVICE - Systems and methods for delivering content to user devices before the content is selected or requested (e.g., a pre-delivery of content) are described. In some embodiments, the system and methods receive, from a content server, information associated with content items available for retrieval from the content server and associated with one or more applications resident on a user device, select a subset of content items from the content items available for retrieval to deliver to the user device based on content usage information associated with the user device, and cause the user device to retrieve at least a portion of the selected subset of content items from the content server. | 02-05-2015 |
20150039601 | PRE-DELIVERY OF CONTENT TO A USER DEVICE - Systems and methods for delivering content to user devices before the content is selected or requested (e.g., a pre-delivery of content) are described. In some embodiments, the system and methods receive, from a content server, information associated with content items available for retrieval from the content server and associated with one or more applications resident on a user device, select a subset of content items from the content items available for retrieval to deliver to the user device based on content usage information associated with the user device, and cause the user device to retrieve at least a portion of the selected subset of content items from the content server. | 02-05-2015 |
20150100666 | CONDITIONAL PRE-DELIVERY OF CONTENT TO A USER DEVICE - Systems and methods for delivering content to user devices before the content is selected or requested (e.g. a pre-delivery of content) within predetermined delivery windows and/or during suitable pre-delivery conditions are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods receive an indication that content is available for pre-delivery from a content server to a user device over a network, select a delivery window that satisfies one or more pre-delivery policy conditions associated with pre-delivery of content to the user device, and cause the content to be delivered to the user device upon commencement of the selected delivery window. | 04-09-2015 |
20150142910 | FRACTIONAL PRE-DELIVERY OF CONTENT TO USER DEVICES - Systems and methods for delivering fractions of content to user devices before the content is selected or requested (e.g., a pre-delivery of content) are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods receive an indication that content is available for pre-delivery from a content server to a user device over a network, determine a fraction (e.g., size) of the content available for pre-delivery that satisfies one or more predicted content playback conditions, and causes the determined fraction of the content available for pre-delivery to be delivered to the user device. | 05-21-2015 |
20150243329 | PLAYBACK OF CONTENT PRE-DELIVERED TO A USER DEVICE - Systems and methods for displaying content pre-delivered to a user device, playing back content pre-delivered to a user device, and/or pre-delivering content to a user device during concurrent content playback, are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods include or interact with a mobile application that displays descriptions of content available for playback via the mobile application along with indicators that represent a state of delivery (e.g., a state of pre-delivery) for the content items. | 08-27-2015 |
