Abstract:

A method of social broadcasting is disclosed. A metadata is generated indicating items of content expected to be included in a broadcast and for each item of content a manner in which the item of content is to be included in the broadcast. The metadata is provided and at least a subset of said items of content to a broadcast platform in one or more network communications sent to the broadcast platform via a network interface. A method of social broadcasting is disclosed. A metadata is received via a server interface indicating items of content expected to be included in a broadcast and for each item of content a manner in which the item of content is to be included in the broadcast. At least a subset of said items of content is stored in a media cache. Said items of content are used to assemble in the manner indicated by said metadata, and to provide as output for broadcast to the station interface, a broadcast stream, including by responding dynamically to subsequently received metadata indicating a change in one or both of (1) said items of content expected to be included in a broadcast and (2) the manner in which one or more of said items of content is or are to be included in the broadcast.

H04L 12/28

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method may comprise requesting, by a first mobile computing device, a logical data object stored at an address location on a wide area network (WAN); receiving, by the first mobile computing device, the requested logical data object from the address location on the WAN and storing the received logical data object in the first mobile computing device. A logical data object request may then be received from a second mobile computing device. Responsive to the logical data object request, a copy of the stored logical data object of the logical data object stored at the address location on the WAN may be sent from the first mobile computing device to the second mobile computing device using a peer-to-peer communication protocol. The sent copy of the stored logical data object may be devoid of data or data files referred to by the stored logical data object.
