Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for providing content. An example method can comprise receiving, at a content provider, a request for a content transmission from a first device and determining a parameter related to the first content transmission and comparing the parameter to a threshold. An example method can comprise determining, by the content provider, a second content transmission based on the comparison to the threshold and providing the second content transmission to the first in response to the request.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a content provider, a request for a first multicast content transmission from a first device;
- determining a parameter related to the first multicast content transmission;
- comparing the parameter to a threshold;
- determining, by the content provider, a second multicast content transmission based on a comparison to the threshold;
- and
- providing the second multicast content transmission to the first device in response to the request.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- determining a parameter related to a first multicast content transmission having a first bit rate;
- comparing the parameter to a threshold;
- adjusting the first bit rate to a second bit rate based on a comparison of the parameter to the threshold;
- and
- providing the first multicast content transmission having the second bit rate.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- requesting a first multicast content transmission;
- and
- receiving a second multicast content transmission, wherein the second multicast content transmission is received in response to the requesting of the first multicast content transmission, and wherein the second multicast content transmission is received instead of the first multicast content transmission based on a number of users accessing the first multicast content transmission.
