System and method for providing streaming data to a mobile device
View Patent ↗Various embodiments for a system and method for providing streaming data to a device are provided herein. In one example, a method comprises receiving a request for streaming data from a mobile device, receiving settings with regards to the delivery of the streaming data to the mobile device, retrieving the streaming data from a source of the streaming data, reformatting the streaming data for the mobile device according to the settings and sending the reformatted streaming data to the mobile device in accordance with the settings.
1. A method for a server of providing a stream of data, the method comprising:
receiving a request to stream data based on a format setting and a transmission setting;
retrieving video or audio data based on the request;
reformatting the video or audio data based on the format setting; and
sending the reformatted video or audio data as a stream to a mobile device based on the transmission setting, the transmission setting configured to control the sending of the reformatted streaming video or audio data that is reformatted according to the format setting.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the format setting is configured to enable a changing of an aspect ratio of the video or audio data retrieved.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the format setting is configured to enable a size reduction of the video or audio data retrieved.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the format setting is configured to enable a transcoding of the video or audio data retrieved.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving the format setting and the transmission setting.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission setting corresponds to a location.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission setting comprises a time setting and sending the reformatted streaming video or audio data comprises sending the reformatted streaming video or audio data to the mobile device within a time range specified in the time setting.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission setting comprises a location setting and sending the reformatted streaming video or audio data comprises sending the reformatted streaming video or audio data to the mobile device when the mobile device is at a location specified in the location setting.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store computer readable instructions for a method providing streaming data, the method comprising:
receive data including a format setting and a transmission setting;
retrieve content;
reformat the content as a function of the format setting; and
transmit the reformatted content to a mobile device in a streaming manner as a function of the transmission setting, the transmission setting configured to control the transmitting of the reformatted streaming content that is reformatted according to the format setting.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the format setting enables a change of an aspect ratio.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the format setting enables a reduction of information.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the format setting enables a transcoding.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transmission setting corresponds to a location.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the retrieved content comprises video and audio content and transmit the reformatted content comprises transmit audio content and not video content to the mobile device.
15. A server for providing streaming data, wherein the server comprises:
a communication interface being adapted to allow the server to communicate with a network;
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the communication interface and the memory, the processor configured to control operation of the server,
wherein the server is configured to:
receive a format setting and a transmission setting;
retrieve content;
reformat the content as a function of the format setting; and
stream the reformatted content to a mobile device as a function of the transmission setting, the transmission setting configured to control the streaming of the reformatted streaming content that is reformatted according to the format setting.
16. The server of claim 15 , wherein the format setting is configured to enable a change of an aspect ratio of the retrieved content.
17. The server of claim 15 , wherein the format setting is configured to enable a reduction of information of the retrieved content.
18. The server of claim 15 , wherein the format setting is configured to enable a transcoding of the retrieved content.
19. The server of claim 15 , wherein the transmission setting corresponds to a location.
20. The server of claim 15 , wherein the transmission setting comprises a time setting and stream the reformatted content comprises stream the reformatted content to the mobile device within a time specified in the time range setting.
21. The server of claim 15 , wherein the retrieved content comprises video and audio content and stream the reformatted content comprises stream video content and not audio content to the mobile device.
