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 16):
A media device, comprising:\n a memory; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to:\n download and display primary content on a display device; \n determine that secondary content should be stitched into the display of the primary content; \n request that a crowdsource server determine a bit-rate variant of the secondary content to download, wherein 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 at the media device, wherein to determine the bit-rate variant of the secondary content to download, the crowdsource server accesses 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, and generates a recommendation for a bit-rate variant of the secondary content to download by the media device, based on the accessed information; \n receive information from the crowdsource server that identifies the determined bit-rate variant of the secondary content; \n download the determined bit-rate variant of the secondary content; and \n stitch the downloaded bit-rate variant of the secondary content into the display of the primary content.
