System and Method for Dynamic Playback Switching of Live and Previously Recorded Audio Content - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240292055 titled 'System and Method for Dynamic Playback Switching of Live and Previously Recorded Audio Content
The method described in the abstract involves receiving a pre-modified live digital audio stream at a media content server, modifying it to produce a live digital audio stream, storing the pre-modified stream at a time-shifted media server, and identifying and storing alternative content start/stop tags at an alternative content server.
- Receiving and modifying a pre-modified live digital audio stream
- Storing pre-modified stream at a time-shifted media server
- Identifying and storing alternative content start/stop tags
- Transmitting a time-shifted digital audio stream request
- Streaming the time-shifted digital audio stream from the time-shifted media server
- Transmitting an alternative content request in response to an upcoming alternative content period
- Outputting the second alternative content after ceasing the time-shifted digital audio stream
Potential Applications: - Personalized audio content delivery - Enhanced user experience in audio streaming services - Targeted advertising based on user preferences
Problems Solved: - Providing users with alternative content options during audio streaming - Improving user engagement and satisfaction with audio content
Benefits: - Customized audio content delivery - Increased user interaction and retention - Targeted advertising opportunities

Original Abstract Submitted
a method including, at a media content server, receiving a pre-modified live digital audio stream, modifying the pre-modified live digital audio stream to produce a live digital audio stream, at a time-shifted media server, storing the pre-modified live digital audio stream, at an alternative content server, identifying and storing respective alternative content start/stop tags, at a client device, receiving the live digital audio stream, in response to a playback command by a user, transmitting a time-shifted digital audio stream request, in response to the time-shifted digital audio stream request, the time-shifted media server streaming the time-shifted digital audio stream, the client device, identifying an upcoming alternative content period, in response to determining that the upcoming alternative content period is within a pre-determined timing threshold, transmitting an alternative content request, receiving a second alternative content, ceasing to output the time-shifted digital audio stream, and outputting the second alternative content.
