Abstract:
A method comprises receiving content from a source, and generating multiple content streams each comprising the received content. Each content stream includes segments comprising respective portions of the received content. Different segmenting is utilized in generating respective ones of the content streams such that the segments in each of the content streams are offset in time relative to corresponding segments in the other ones of the streams. For example, generating the multiple content streams may comprise segmenting n content streams such that each content stream comprises segments of length Ts with corresponding segments in adjacent ones of the content streams being offset from one another by an offset Tg. Such an arrangement ensures that latency shift upon switching between one of the content streams and another content stream in a different set of multiple content streams at a client device can be limited to a value approximated by Tg.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus comprising:\n at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory; wherein said at least one processing device is configured: to receive a selected content stream of a first set of multiple content streams each comprising content from a first source; in conjunction with switching from the selected content stream to a content stream of a second set of multiple content streams each comprising content from a second source, to utilize an offset index of the selected content stream relative to other content streams in the first set to identify a particular one of the content streams of the second set in a manner that limits a latency shift between the selected content stream of the first set and the particular content stream of the second set; and to request delivery of the particular content stream of the second set.
