US 11,144,969 B2 · Search result content sequencing

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating and receiving a sequenced listing of pieces of content are described. A request to search for assets may be received. A first listing of assets associated with the request may be received. Data representative of assets stored within an edge server associated with the user may be received. A first group of assets of the first listing of assets that are stored within the edge server based upon the received data representative of assets stored within the edge server and a second group of assets of the first listing of assets that are not stored within the edge server based upon the received data representative of assets stored within the edge server may be determined. A second listing of assets may be generated where at least one asset of the first group is sequenced separate from at least one asset of the second group.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more computing devices, a search request associated with an edge server in a content delivery network, the search request comprising one or more search criteria;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, search results comprising a plurality of assets responsive to the one or more search criteria in the search request;
determining, by the one or more computing devices and based on a current bandwidth usage of the content delivery network, that one or more additional criteria are to be applied to the search results, wherein the one or more additional criteria comprise, for each asset of the plurality of assets, an indication of whether that asset is stored on the edge server;
based on the determining that the one or more additional criteria are to be applied to the search results, generating a list of ranked search results by sorting the search results according to the one or more additional criteria;
and
transmitting the list of ranked search results to a user device.

3 more elements

A system comprising:

a first computing device comprising:
one or more processors;
and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to:
receive a search request associated with an edge server in a content delivery network, the search request comprising one or more criteria;
produce search results comprising a plurality of assets in response to the one or more criteria in the search request;
determine, based on a current bandwidth availability of the content delivery network, that an additional criterion is to be applied to the search results;
and
based on the determining that the additional criterion is to be applied to the search results, apply the additional criterion to the search results by sorting the plurality of assets into a first sub-group and a second sub-group, the first sub-group comprising a plurality of assets that are stored on the edge server and the second sub-group comprising a plurality of assets that are not stored on the edge server;
generating a list of ranked search results by ranking the first sub-group higher than the second sub-group;
and
transmitting the list of ranked search results to a user device;
and
the user device, wherein the user device receives the list of ranked search results.
