Problems solved by technology

For example, a mobile computing device may travel through "dead zones" in a cellular network where access to the network is limited or impossible
When traveling through areas with reduced network capacity, the delivery of media streams may be interrupted
If a mobile computing device needs to pause playback of a media stream, for example, to perform a buffering operation, such interruptions can degrade the user's experience

Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 An example of providing media streams from a server 200 to one or more mobile computing devices 300-1, 300-2, 300-3 . environment. Network 100 may be any form of communication network or medium, such as a cellular network, an intranet, the Internet, or a combination thereof. The server 200 may provide the media stream to the mobile computing device 300 via one or more base stations 110-1, 110-2...110-M (referred to herein individually or collectively by reference numeral 110).

[0030] Server 200 may be any computing system configured to provide media streams to mobile computing device 300, such as a stand-alone server or a distributed server system. Example media streams include, but are not limited to, audio streams such as Internet radio and video streams such as Internet television. Server 200 generates a media stream by encoding one or more media files into a media stream, which may then be provided or “streamed” to mobile computing device 300 . Server...

Abstract

Techniques for providing a media stream to a mobile computing device based on a predicted route of the mobile computing device include obtaining a predicted route of the mobile computing device and determining whether the predicted route traverses an area of ​​reduced network capacity. If the predicted route travels through the area, the technique includes determining whether to adjust bit rate encoding of the media stream so that playback of the media stream is not interrupted.
