METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ACCESSING MEDIA CONTENT FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333995 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ACCESSING MEDIA CONTENT FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES
The present disclosure involves methods and systems for searching for media content across multiple sources. A multi-source content system connects various media content sources to a gateway, allowing users to search for media content which the gateway can locate and present to the user.
- The system can connect internet streaming platforms, local or cloud storage, OTA networks, cable networks, satellite networks, public library databases, etc., to a gateway.
- When a user searches for media content, the gateway can perform a query across the various connected sources to locate the content.
- Search results can be prioritized based on free content, local storage devices, gateway content services, or bandwidth management metrics.
- The system can aggregate multiple media content sources and devices connected to a gateway to retrieve media content efficiently.
Potential Applications: - Media content search platforms - Content aggregation services - Personalized content recommendation systems
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the search process for media content - Efficiently retrieving content from multiple sources - Prioritizing search results based on various metrics
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience in searching for media content - Access to a wide range of media content sources - Efficient utilization of available resources
Commercial Applications: Title: Multi-Source Media Content Search System This technology can be used in streaming platforms, content aggregation services, and personalized recommendation systems, enhancing user experience and increasing engagement.
Questions about Multi-Source Media Content Search System: 1. How does the system prioritize search results?

Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for searching for media content across multiple sources. a multi-source content system can connect various media content sources (e.g., internet streaming platforms, local or cloud storage, ota networks, cable network, satellite network, public library databases, etc.) to a gateway. when a user searches for media content, the gateway can detect the search and perform a query across the various media content sources to locate the media content. the multi-source content system can prioritize the search results according to free content, local storage devices, gateway content services or bandwidth management metrics, and present the search results to the user. the multi-source content system can aggregate multiple media content sources and devices connected to a gateway to retrieve media content.
