US 11,910,070 B2 · Fast direct resource allocation identifier

Abstract

Resource allocation includes generating a resource allocation identifier corresponding to a resource allocation request. The resource allocation request pertains to allocation of a resource associated with streaming of an audiovisual content item. The resource allocation identifier comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion comprising a key, and the second portion comprising information associated with contextual metadata pertaining to the corresponding resource allocation request. It further includes performing a first transmission of a first message including the resource allocation identifier. The first message including the resource allocation identifier is directed to a first address associated with a first entity. It further includes performing a second transmission of a second message. Transmission of the second message causes transmission of the resource allocation request. The second message is directed to a second address associated with a second entity. The first address and the second address are different. Resource allocation includes receiving a first message comprising a resource allocation identifier. It further includes, at a time subsequent to receiving the first message, receiving a second message comprising a resource allocation request pertaining to allocation of a resource associated with streaming of an audiovisual content item. It further includes matching the resource allocation request with the resource allocation identifier. It further includes, based at least in part on the match, receiving contextual metadata associated with the resource allocation request. It further includes facilitating resource allocation at least in part by using the contextual metadata.
