Abstract
In various example embodiments, a system and method for managing media bandwidth usage are disclosed. One disclosed method includes determining a network connection state of a computing device, receiving a request that requests media content, altering the request to request a synthetic representation of the media content instead of the media content in response to the network connection state being one of a set of predefined network connection states and the media content violating one or more restrictions of the network connection state, and requesting the media content in response to a user selecting the synthetic representation.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory including instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for a media content;
- determining that communicating the requested media content violates a network connection state restriction for a network connection with a remote computing device;
- and
- instructing the remote computing device to display a generic image representation corresponding to the requested media content based at least in part on the generic image representation being stored by the remote computing device and the determining that communicating the requested media content violates the network connection state restriction.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request for a media content;
- determining, by one or more processors, that communicating the requested media content violates a network connection state restriction for a network connection with a remote computing device;
- and
- instructing, by the one or more processors, the remote computing device to display a generic image representation corresponding to the requested media content based at least in part on the generic image representation being stored by the remote computing device and the determining that communicating the requested media content violates the network connection state restriction.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for a media content;
- determining that communicating the requested media content violates a network connection state restriction for a network connection with a remote computing device;
- and
- instructing the remote computing device to display a generic image representation corresponding to the requested media content based at least in part on the generic image representation being stored by the remote computing device and the determining that communicating the requested media content violates the network connection state restriction.
