Digital media distribution system with expiring advertisements

Abstract: A method and system for distributing “free” media content via a network or the internet, whereby media content files are bundled with advertisements that automatically expire and can automatically resurrect and/or update themselves. The nature of the expiration/resurrection/updating of these advertisements is based on a pre-defined number of impressions, a preset time limit and/or other usage protocols included in the header information of the file which are interpreted and enforced by a media player and/or other software/hardware components The distribution model for this system supports client-server models, peer-to-peer models and other networked models such as digital kiosks. This system supports media content that is linear (e.g. purely audio or audio/visual) and/or non-linear (e.g. interactive games, software, etc.) and this methodology can apply to any compression format of such content. This system can also incorporate appropriate security measures to prevent users from abusing the system.

Dynamic quality adjustment based on changing streaming constraints

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic quality adjustment of digital media based on changing streaming constraints is provided. A digital media server sends a digital media stream according to a set of streaming constraints to a requesting client. A client sends a request (400) over a control network to the digital media server indicating information of a particular type is no longer desired. In response to receiving the signal, the video server ceases transmission of that particular type of information (430) to the signaling client, thus relaxing streaming constraints (440). when a viewer signals that a particular type of information is not desired, that particular type of information is not transmitted to the client, which thereby reduces the streaming constraints on a video streaming service, and improved quality digital media information (450) may be sent to any client using the freed-up portion of the bandwidth previously allocated to the signaling client.

Method and system for sharing images using a digital media frame

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for sharing an object in a network is disclosed. From a digital media frame (DMF) coupled with a network, the object is selected. A recipient is selected to receive the object. One or more signals are sent to a network server coupled with the network, the one or more signals requesting the network server to share the object with the recipient. From the network server, in response to receiving the one or more signals, the object is identified. The object is then sent to the recipient.

Systems and methods for distribution of digital media content utilizing viral marketing over social networks

Abstract: A networked computing system capable of distributing commercial digital media content utilizing existing interpersonal resources of a social network service (SNS). The networked computing system includes a media content provider (MCP), multiple personal computing devices (PCDs), a SNS and a data communications network that facilitates data communications amongst the MCP, the PCDs, and the SNS. A registered user of the SNS at a first PCD is able to access media content emanating from a MCP based on a media content referral from a registered user of the same SNS at a second PCD. The SNS may operate as an agent for the MCP so that the MCP can use the SNS as a viral media content marketing utility.
