Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for improving user experience of multimedia streaming over computer networks. More specifically, techniques presented herein reduce (or eliminate) latency in playback start time for streaming digital media content resulting from digital rights management (DRM) authorizations. A streaming media client (e.g., a browser, set-top box, mobile telephone or tablet “app”) may request a “fast-expiring” license for titles the streaming media client predicts a user is likely to begin streaming. A fast-expiring license is a DRM license (and associated decryption key) which is valid for only a very limited time after being used for playback. During the validity period of such a license, the client device requests a “normal” or “regular” license to continue accessing the title after the fast-expiring license expires.

Claim (Index 14):
The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n after receiving the request to stream the first media title, generating a request for a DRM license to access the first media title, and sending the request to a streaming media service; prior to the end of the fixed time interval, receiving the DRM license, and accessing portions of the first media title using a key associated with the DRM license; and sending a request for at least a second fast-expiring license associated with at least a second included in the set of one or more media titles.
