Abstract:
An apparatus for multi-bitrate content streaming includes a receiving module configured to capture media content, a streamlet module configured to segment the media content and generate a plurality of streamlets, and an encoding module configured to generate a set of streamlets. The system includes the apparatus, wherein the set of streamlets comprises a plurality of streamlets having identical time indices and durations, and each streamlet of the set of streamlets having a unique bitrate, and wherein the encoding module comprises a master module configured to assign an encoding job to one of a plurality of host computing modules in response to an encoding job completion bid. A method includes receiving media content, segmenting the media content and generating a plurality of streamlets, and generating a set of streamlets.

Claim (Index 16):
An end user station to stream a live event video over a network from a server for playback of the video, the content player device comprising:\n a processor; a digital processing apparatus memory device comprising non-transitory machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:\n establish one or more network connections between the end user station and the server, wherein the server is configured to access at least one of a plurality of groups of streamlets;\n wherein the live event video is encoded at a plurality of bitrates to create a plurality of streams including at least a low quality stream and a high quality stream, each of the low quality stream and the high quality stream comprising a group of streamlets encoded at the same respective bitrate, each group comprising at least first and second streamlets, each of the streamlets corresponding to a portion of the live event video; \n wherein at least one of the low quality stream and the high quality stream is encoded at a bit rate of no less than 600 kbps; and \n wherein the first streamlets of each of the low quality stream and the high quality stream each has an equal playback duration and each of the first streamlets corresponding to the same portion of the live event video; \n \n select a specific one of the low quality stream and the high quality stream based upon a determination by the end user station to select a higher or lower bitrate version of the streams; \n place a streamlet request to the server over the one or more network connections for the first streamlet of the selected stream; \n receive the requested first streamlet from the server via the one or more network connections; and \n provide the received first streamlet for playback of the live event video.
