Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described to proactively adapt media streaming by a number of media player clients over a network. Each media player requests segments of an adaptive media stream for playback. In implementations, some or all of the media players in the system are able to measure packet loss or other indicia of issues with the data transmission. This indicia can be used to adapt subsequent requests for additional segments of the media stream. Moreover, some implementations could provide the measured packet loss or other indicia to the server as feedback. The server, in turn, can use the feedback from the players (along with any other additional information) to formulate business rules subsequently delivered to some or all of the players in the system. The media players can therefore adapt their segment request based upon locally measured data and/or based upon business rules that reflect system-wide conditions.

Claim (Index 13):
A method executable by a server to generate and distribute business rules to a plurality of media player devices in communication with the server over a network, the method comprising:\n receiving, at the server, requests from at least a first media player device included in the plurality of media player devices for segments of a first media stream delivered to the first media player device via the network by the server; further receiving, at the server, reports from at least some of the plurality of media player devices, the reports indicating error rates of data transmissions received at the plurality of media player devices; formulating, at the server, a set of business rules based at least in part on the error rates reported by at least some of the plurality of media player devices; and after formulating the set of business rules, transmitting the set of business rules from the server, over the network, and to the plurality of media player devices; wherein the set of business rules instructs at least the first media player device to proactively adapt subsequent requests for segments of the first media streams from the server.
