METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR RESUMING PLAYBACK OF MEDIA CONTENT ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238847 titled 'METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR RESUMING PLAYBACK OF MEDIA CONTENT ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and methods for facilitating the consumption of media content across multiple devices. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system includes an update component that receives updates on media statistics, such as the account information, media content identification, and the playback time position.
  • A monitoring component tracks when the account accesses the media content associated with the provided information.
  • A resume component plays back the media content from the previously recorded playback time position when the account accesses the media content again.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Streaming platforms can use this system to allow users to seamlessly resume their media content across different devices.
  • Video-on-demand services can benefit from this technology by providing a consistent viewing experience for users across multiple devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Users often face the inconvenience of having to manually find their playback position when switching between devices. This system automates the process and eliminates the need for manual tracking.
  • It addresses the issue of inconsistent playback experience across devices by ensuring that the media content resumes from the same position on any device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Users can easily switch between devices without losing their place in the media content, enhancing convenience and user experience.
  • It provides a seamless and consistent playback experience across different devices, improving user satisfaction.
  • The system automates the process of resuming media content, saving users time and effort.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for facilitating cross device resumable media content consumption. In an aspect, a system includes an update component that receives a media statistics update where the media statistics update includes information identifying an account, media content identification information, and a first playback time position associated with media content. A monitoring component is also included that identifies when the account accesses the media content associated with the media content identification information. A resume component is also included that plays back the media content at the first playback time position in response to identifying an access of the media content associated with the account.
