Description

1 TARIFF MEDIA FLOW SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM Technical Area This invention enables users in the telecommunications and digital broadcasting fields to understand network status, using media streaming and real-time communication data from different locations enabling them to simultaneously watch the same media content and share voice or communication between users. a system that enables video communication to be synchronized with the media content being viewed It is related to the system. 10 Previous Technique Today, multiple users can share the same video or live stream content simultaneously. co-watching applications to enable real-time monitoring 15 It is used and users' playback operations are synchronized via the server. In current systems, video streaming and audio and text communication data are used. It is transmitted through separate channels over the general internet infrastructure. However, the internet Due to variable network delays caused by communication, image, sound and By receiving user responses at different times, the simultaneous monitoring experience becomes 20 This has a negative impact. Furthermore, synchronization only occurs after a time difference has been created. then correction and 5G (Fifth Generation Mobile Communications) From MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) infrastructures Low latency and uninterrupted monitoring due to lack of benefit It is not available. 25 Therefore, considering the studies and shortcomings in the current technique... When this is the case, multiple users can stream the same live broadcast from different locations. or being able to watch video content simultaneously and this viewing experience There is a need for a system that allows for voice and / or video communication during this time. 30 It seems that it was heard. 2 United States Regulation US2025156964A1, which is included in the known state of the art. The patent document describes working on networked mobile communication devices and enabling users to share social content in real time. A system is being discussed. The system in question, as described in the invention, is controlled by the user. Selected or indirectly recommended media content has multiple legal access options. 5 It ensures that the most suitable option is selected from among the available sources. In this context, media content is evaluated based on cost efficiency, data quality, or user experience. It is played from a direct source selected according to the specified parameters. Media playback and social content sharing are separate data streams. is managed. Music or similar contextual media content is added to the social content stream. It is presented synchronously without being embedded. The system supports media playback. synchronous data channels that continuously transmit metadata relating to events It uses different users' legal access rights to the same media content. They are enabled to experience this simultaneously within the scope of the media content. 15 from the appropriate source according to requests initiated indirectly or directly. Social content is provided in video, audio, image, or text formats. It is shared live and synchronized with the media playback schedule. Brief Description of the Invention The purpose of this invention is to allow users to monitor network connection status, media streaming, and real-time information. using real-time communication data to connect users in different locations to the same media each image will be played in the media stream so that they can watch the content simultaneously. Adding information that indicates the moment, and directing the media stream to the network edge closest to the users. Each image is transmitted to user electronic devices via servers and 25 to be displayed at the specified playback time and audio or video between users video communication data is transmitted to other users at the same time the monitored media content is played. The goal is to create a system that enables the transmission of information to user devices. 3 Detailed Description of the Invention The "Media Stream Synchronization" carried out to achieve the purpose of this invention.
