Apparatus, systems and methods for providing edge cached media content to media devices based on user history

A system comprising:

• a server system comprising one or more servers that comprise one or more processing devices and memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the server system to perform operations comprising:
• storing a media content event;
• identifying a plurality of media devices that have not requested the media content event;
• identifying a first subset of one or more media devices from the plurality of media devices that are authorized to output the media content event for presentation;
• identifying a second subset of one or more media devices from the plurality of media devices that are not authorized to output the media content event for presentation;
• transmitting at least part of the media content event to the first subset of one or more media devices that are authorized to present the media content event to cause storage of at least the part of the media content event at each media device of the first subset of one or more media devices;
• prior to expiration of a predefined storage duration, causing transmitting by one or more edge servers only an initial portion of the media content event to the second subset of one or more media devices that are not authorized to present the media content event to cause storage of the initial portion of the media content event at each media device of the second subset of one or more media devices, where the one or more edge servers store the initial portion of the media content event only for the predefined storage duration and not after the expiration of the predefined storage duration;
• and
• after the expiration of the predefined storage duration, processing an indication mapped to a particular media device of the second subset of one or more media devices, and causing transmission of at least another portion of the media content event from another device to the particular media device of the second subset of one or more media devices.

One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:

• causing storing a media content event;
• identifying a plurality of media devices that have not requested the media content event;
• identifying a first subset of one or more media devices from the plurality of media devices that are authorized to output the media content event for presentation;
• identifying a second subset of one or more media devices from the plurality of media devices that are not authorized to output the media content event for presentation;
• causing transmitting at least part of the media content event to the first subset of one or more media devices that are authorized to present the media content event to cause storage of at least the part of the media content event at each media device of the first subset of one or more media devices;
• prior to expiration of a predefined storage duration, causing transmitting by one or more edge servers only an initial portion of the media content event to the second subset of one or more media devices that are not authorized to present the media content event to cause storage of the initial portion of the media content event at each media device of the second subset of one or more media devices, where the one or more edge servers store the initial portion of the media content event only for the predefined storage duration and not after the expiration of the predefined storage duration;
• and
• after the expiration of the predefined storage duration, processing an indication mapped to a particular media device of the second subset of one or more media devices, and causing transmission of at least another portion of the media content event from another device to the particular media device of the second subset of one or more media devices.
