A system and method of distributing electronic content includes a network operations center communicating national feeds to an over-the-air broadcast center through a satellite. The over-the-air broadcast center receives the national feeds from the satellite and broadcasts the national feeds to a user device through a cellular tower wireless transmitter.

Data transmission method, device, and system

A data transmission method is disclosed. N streams of video data uploaded by a video capture terminal are received, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; loopback indication information sent by a mobility management entity or the video capture terminal is received, where the loopback indication information carries an identifier of a bearer of video data to be looped back; according to the identifier of the bearer of the video data to be looped back, the video data to be looped back corresponding to the identifier of the bearer of the video data to be looped back is confirmed; and the video data to be looped back is sent to a trunking terminal. In the data transmission method, data that the trunking terminal needs to monitor is directly looped back at the base station.

Systems, methods and apparatus for transmitting data over a voice channel of a wireless telephone network

The various embodiments described herein generally provide apparatus, systems and methods which facilitate the transmission of data between a client device and a remote device over a wireless telephone network. More particularly, data from a client device is modulated into an audio signal and transmitted to a wireless telephone. The wireless telephone receives the audio signal and places a phone call to a remote device over a wireless telephone network. During the phone call, the wireless telephone transmits the audio signal across a voice channel of the wireless telephone network to the remote device. The remote device receives and decodes the audio signal to extract the transmitted data.

Remote media streaming

A redirection device for remote streaming media reroutes media content sent to the receiving device, typically located in the home of the subscriber, to the subscriber's mobile device such as a laptop or smartphone. Remote media streaming provides media recipients with capabilities for out-of-home (OOH) viewing for remotely rendering media content from a subscriber based receiving device to a personal electronic device. The remote streaming redirects media that has already been received by the subscription based receiving device, such that the redirection device forwards a rendering signal including the requested content to the rendering device based on the reported location. The redirected media stream therefore emanates from the redirection device as an independent transmission of content already received by the receiving device, and not as a separate transmission of media content from the content provider.

Methods circuits devices systems and associated computer executable code for transmitting a video stream to a mobile communication device
09736510 · 2017-08-15 · ·

Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for transmitting video data to a client device, optionally over a wireless communication link. According to some embodiments, a video pacing agent may be integrated or otherwise functionally associated with a segment of a communication network and may regulate and/or pace video data delivery to a client device, wherein regulating and pacing may factor an estimation of a state or fullness level of a receive buffer on the client device.

Resuming A Playing Of A Video Responsive To A Beginning Of A Segment.
20170229151 · 2017-08-10 ·

A system comprising a remote video provider and a device; the device, capable of processing data and instructions executable by a processor, when executing the instructions, performs the steps of: streaming, from the remote video provider and over a communications network, a video; receiving, during a playing of the video, a request for information; pausing the playing of the video in response to the request for information; displaying information responsive to the request for information; and resuming, following a termination of the displaying of information, the playing of the video at a location in the video that (i) precedes a location at which the video was paused, and (ii) is responsive to a beginning of a video segment.

SYSTEM AND METHOD TO HANDLE MEDIA TRANSMISSION IN MISSION CRITICAL (MC) SYSTEM

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A system and a method to handle media transmission in the Mission Critical (MC) systems or MC Video system are provided. According to the system and the method, wastage of network resources can be avoided and other participants in the group can be given chance to transmit important data as maximum number of transmissions at a time in a group call are limited by network capacity. Accordingly, efficiency of the MC Video system can be improved.

System and method for producing and executing interactive broadcast program

The present invention relates to a system and method for producing and executing an interactive broadcast program. A program enabler service system providing an interactive service for allowing users to participate in a broadcast program includes: a program-generating unit providing a tool for receiving broadcast program-related information so as to generate information received through the tool in a script format for the broadcast program; a program-executing unit providing information to users participating in the broadcast program through a communication channel provided by the service enabler after reading the information generated in the script format by interacting with the broadcast program; and a service-connecting unit connecting a communication service platform of the service enabler to the program-executing unit.

Controlling content distribution

A computer-implemented method for controlling content distribution includes forwarding information associated with a user to a device operated by the user, the information being configured for use in selecting content from any of multiple content providers for a content distribution to the user. The method includes receiving, in response to the information, an edit of the information forwarded from the device. The edit identifies a first content provider and including a first modification of the content distribution regarding the first content provider. The method includes storing the edit in association with the information such that the first modification is taken into account in the content distribution. The method can be implemented using a computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium.

Closed captioning management system
11196960 · 2021-12-07 · ·

Media content typically includes closed captioning information such as subtitled in domestic and foreign languages. Techniques and mechanisms provide that closed captioning information may be toggled on/off using menu options and preferences as well as automatically managed by intelligently monitoring the environment surrounding a device. Device sensors such as microphones and vibration monitors determine the noise level of an environment as well as the spectral characteristics of the noise to determine whether the noise profile would interfere with the video playback experience. A particular environmental noise profile could automatically trigger the display of closed captioning information or present an easy access, otherwise unavailable toggle to display closed captioning information associated with a video stream.
