Abstract
Systems and methods for broadcasting media content include recording the media content by a mobile device and monitoring the recording to determine whether a threshold has been reached. The recorded content is segmented into chunks that can be encoded, compressed, and uploaded to a server for broadcasting to a specified list of recipients. The recorded chunks can be deleted from the mobile device once a confirmation is received from the server that the chunk was received.
Claims16
A method for broadcasting media content comprising:
- recording, by a mobile device, the media content;
- segmenting, by the mobile device, the recorded content into at least one chunk, when a threshold has been reached;
- encoding, by the mobile device, the at least one chunk, upon a determination to encode the at least one chunk;
- compressing, by the mobile device, the at least one chunk;
- placing, by the mobile device, the at least one compressed chunk into an upload queue;
- transmitting, by the mobile device, to a server the at least one chunk from the upload queue;
- receiving, by the mobile device, from the server a confirmation that the at least one transmitted chunk has been successfully received by the server;
- and
- deleting the at least one transmitted chunk from the mobile device, after receiving the confirmation from the server.
A method for delivering media content comprising:
- receiving, by a server, from a first mobile device at least one encoded chunk of a media content recording;
- receiving, by the server, from the first mobile device metadata associated with the at least one encoded chunk of a media content recording;
- transmitting, by the server, to the first mobile device a confirmation that the at least one encoded chunk has been successfully received by the server;
- storing, by the server, the metadata to a database in communication with the server;
- notifying, by the server, at least one recipient of the media content that new media content is available;
- and
- storing, by the server, the at least one chunk to at least one of a content delivery network (CDN) or a streaming service.

- receiving, by the server, from the first mobile device metadata associated with the at least one encoded chunk of a media content recording;
- transmitting, by the server, to the first mobile device a confirmation that the at least one encoded chunk has been successfully received by the server;
- storing, by the server, the metadata to a database in communication to the server;
- notifying, by the server, at least one recipient of the media content that new media content is available;
- reconstructing the media content from the at least one chunks;
- and
- storing, by the server, the reconstructed media content to at least one of a content delivery network (CDN) or a streaming service.
