==METHODS AND APPARATUS OF IDENTIFICATION OF STREAMING ACTIVITY AND SOURCE FOR CACHED MEDIA ON STREAMING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031617 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS OF IDENTIFICATION OF STREAMING ACTIVITY AND SOURCE FOR CACHED MEDIA ON STREAMING DEVICES

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for identifying streaming activity and the source of cached media on streaming devices. The system stores content identification information of a first media presentation in a library. It inspects the network connection of a media streaming device for network activity associated with a second media presentation. If there is no network activity, it determines that the second media presentation is a cached media presentation. It then infers the streaming source of the second media presentation by matching the content identification information of the second media presentation with that of the first media presentation. Finally, it generates a media credit for the second media presentation that includes the inferred streaming source identifier.

* The system stores content identification information of a first media presentation.
* It inspects the network connection of a media streaming device for network activity.
* If there is no network activity, it determines that the second media presentation is a cached media presentation.
* It infers the streaming source of the second media presentation by matching content identification information.
* It generates a media credit for the second media presentation that includes the inferred streaming source identifier.

Potential Applications:
* Media streaming platforms can use this technology to identify and credit the source of cached media presentations on streaming devices.
* Content creators and distributors can track the usage and sources of their media presentations on streaming devices.

Problems Solved:
* Identifying the streaming source of cached media presentations on streaming devices.
* Providing accurate media credits for cached media presentations.

Benefits:
* Improved tracking and identification of media presentations on streaming devices.
* Accurate crediting of media sources.
* Enhanced analytics and insights for content creators and distributors.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for identification of streaming activity and source for cached media on streaming devices. an example system stores, in a content identification information library, first content identification information of a first media presentation, wherein the first media presentation is a streamed media presentation; inspects a network connection of a media streaming device for network activity associated with a second media presentation; determine, in response to an absence of the network activity, the second media presentation is a cached media presentation; infers a streaming source of the second media presentation by matching second content identification information of the second media presentation with the first content identification information of the first media presentation; and generates a second media credit for the second media presentation that includes an inferred streaming source identifier.
