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.
Claims20
A method for broadcasting media content comprising:
- recording, by a mobile device, the media content;
- monitoring, by the mobile device, the recording of the media content to determine whether a threshold has been reached;
- segmenting, by the mobile device, the recorded content into at least one chunk, when the 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;
- wherein the threshold can dynamically change during the recording of the media content.

- deleting the at least one transmitted chunk from the mobile device, after receiving the confirmation from the server;
- and
- selecting the server from a plurality of servers, based on the proximity of the server to the mobile device.

- wherein the first metadata includes at least one of a list of recipients for the media content, a title for the media content, a location associated with the media content, time information, and date information;
- wherein the second metadata includes at least one change in the list of recipients.
