Abstract:
Disclosed herein system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for using technology in innovative ways to automatically and intelligently predict performance of content delivery networks (CDNs) in a crowdsourced manner in order to deliver the highest resolution content possible with little or no buffering. In some embodiments, a media device downloads and displays primary content on a display device. The media device determines that secondary content should be stitched into the display of the primary content. Accordingly, the media device requests that a crowdsource server determine a bit-rate variant of the secondary content to download. The crowdsource server determines the bit-rate variant in a crowdsourced manner such that subsequent download of the identified bit-rate variant by the media device results in a zero buffer experience. The media device downloads the determined bit-rate variant of the secondary content, and stitches the downloaded bit-rate variant of the secondary content into the display of the primary content.

Claim (Index 11):
A tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:\n receiving, from a media device, a request to identify a bit-rate variant of secondary content to stitch into a stream of primary content; accessing information relating to previous downloads of the secondary content that are relevant to at least one of the media device and the secondary content, wherein the information was provided to the crowdsource server by a multitude of media devices in a crowdsourced manner; generating a recommendation for a bit-rate variant of the secondary content to download by the media device, based on the accessed information; and providing the recommendation to the media device; wherein the media device downloads the recommended bit-rate variant of the secondary content, and stitches the downloaded bit-rate variant of the secondary content into the stream of the primary content.
