Abstract

Participants share live (S HARE L IVE ) content in real-time by sharing socially-targeted user-selected/generated content while simultaneously consuming content from any integrated content provider. In the context of an exemplary music-based scenario, an inviting user, while listening to music from any integrated music provider, may initiate a S HARE L IVE session such that concurrent data streams are maintained and media playback information is managed separately from media content playback channels. Information about playback events is continuously transmitted via facilitated sockets. Participant consumers may consume shared content (L ISTEN L IVE ) by tapping a proprietary resolution method to identify and properly source the media content the broadcaster is sharing. Independent social broadcast streams may also be overlaid atop the direct playback of media content from a preferred provider as governed by the proprietary resolution method. An event-handling micro-service maintains and combines the broadcaster's content playback actions and social content, which are synchronized on multiple participant devices.

Claims (25)

1. A media content-sharing system, the media content-sharing system being operable within a computer network-based media content playback environment for providing a media content rebroadcast to participant devices within the computer-based media content playback environment, the media content rebroadcast being characterized by combining user-generated social content with consumable context-providing media content as variously sourced to participant consumers as invited to the media content rebroadcast, the media content-sharing system providing concurrent data streams within the computer network-based media content playback environment for separately and respectively managing media content playback instructions via an instruction-passing channel of the media content-sharing system and media content playback via a content-delivery channel of the media content-sharing system, the concurrent data streams being operable to source consumable legally-protected media content to the participant consumers of the media content rebroadcast from at least one on demand content source for each participant consumer and enabling simultaneous social interaction in the context of sourced media content deriving from respective on demand content sourcing.

2. The media content sharing system of claim 1 wherein the consumable context-providing media content is mapped to differing on demand content resources and sourced to participant consumers without redistribution thereof.

3. The media content sharing system of claim 1 wherein the respective on demand content sourcing is characterized by a participant's content library or a participant' subscription-based access.

4. The media content sharing system of claim 1 wherein the participant devices within the computer-based media content playback environment are geographically defined within a geographic distribution zone.

5. The media content sharing system of claim 1 wherein the instruction-passing second channel is derived from a multiplicity of connections.

6. The media content sharing system of claim 5 wherein instruction-passing second channel event markers are sent over a stream by way of either web sockets or transfer protocols.

7. The media content sharing system of claim 6 wherein the transfer protocols are either User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or QUIC Protocol.

8. The media content sharing system of claim 5 wherein the multiplicity of connections derive from a remote events queue server, the remote events queue server storing a queue of events.

9. The media content sharing system of claim 5 wherein events are stored in intermediary storage or caches.

10. The media content sharing system of claim 1 wherein the user-generated social content is characterized by textual commentary.

11. The media content sharing system of claim 1 wherein the user-generated social content is overlayed audio or video content.

12. The media content sharing system of claim 11 wherein the overlayed audio or video content is live or in real-time.

13. A media content-sharing system, the media content-sharing system being operable within a computer network-based media content playback environment for providing a media content rebroadcast to consumer devices in communication with the computer-based media content playback environment, the media content rebroadcast being characterized by combining user-generated social content with consumable context-providing media content as variously sourced to consumers, the media content-sharing system providing concurrent data streams within the computer network-based media content playback environment for separately and respectively managing media content playback instructions via an instruction-passing channel of the media content-sharing system and media content playback via a content-delivery channel of the media content-sharing system, the concurrent data streams being operable to source consumable legally-protected media content to the consumers of the media content rebroadcast from at least one subscription-based content source for each consumer and enabling simultaneous social interaction in the context of sourced media content deriving from respective subscription-based sourcing.

14. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the consumable context-providing media content is mapped to subscription-based resources and sourced to consumers without redistribution thereof.

15. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the respective subscription-based sourcing is characterized by a participant's content library or a participant' subscription based access.

16. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein an inviting device invites recipient devices within the computer network-based media content playback environment to join the media content rebroadcast.

17. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the participant devices within the computer-based media content playback environment are geographically defined within a geographic distribution zone.

18. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the instruction-passing second channel is derived from a multiplicity of connections.

19. The media content sharing system of claim 18 wherein instruction-passing second channel event markers are sent over a stream by way of either web sockets or transfer protocols.

20. The media content sharing system of claim 19 wherein the transfer protocols are either User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or QUIC Protocol.

21. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the multiplicity of connections derive from a remote events queue server, the remote events queue server storing a queue of events.

22. The media content sharing system of claim 18 wherein events are stored in intermediary storage or caches.

23. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the user-generated social content is characterized by textual commentary.

24. The media content sharing system of claim 13 wherein the user-generated social content is overlayed audio or video content.

25. The media content sharing system of claim 24 wherein the overlayed audio or video content is live or in real-time.
