Abstract
Methods and systems for providing data such as content are disclosed. A method can comprise receiving content, randomly shifting the received content, and providing the randomly shifted received content to a computing device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating time-shifted content based on received content, wherein generating the time-shifted content comprises modifying the received content such that the time-shifted content has a different sequence of video from a sequence of video of the received content;
- providing the received content to a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a first location identifier;
- and
- providing the time-shifted content to a second computing device, wherein the second computing device is associated with a second location identifier, wherein the first location identifier of the first computing device is the same as the second location identifier of the second computing device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving content;
- generating first time-shifted content based on the received content by inserting first shift content having a first time duration;
- and
- generating second time-shifted content based on the received content by inserting second shift content having a second time duration, wherein the first time-shifted content comprises a sequence of video that is different from a sequence of video of the second time-shifted content, and wherein one or more of the first time-shifted content and the second time-shifted content comprises a sequence of video that is different from a sequence of video of the received content.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving content;
- randomly time-shifting the received content by modifying a sequence of video of the received content such that a sequence of video of the randomly time-shifted received content is different from the sequence of video of the received content;
- and
- providing the randomly time-shifted received content to a computing device.
