Buffering networks stream based on movement detection of a mobile device
View Patent ↗The device connectivity may include rules on when to use multiple networks or the likelihood to buffer streams based on movement data of the individual. If a smartphone detects movement, then it may wake or activate a previously dormant cellular LTE connection, request a new IP address, setup a connection to a server, or start buffering data across the cellular network that is currently being accessed by the same device over WiFi. If a user enables a location map of their house, the wireless device may be able to use indoor location data in conjunction with a motion processing to determine when to activate another network interface. A processor in a mobile device that is enabled to detect motion may be enabled to change its wireless network configuration based on physical movement behavior.
1. A system comprising:
a mobile device enabled to stream a video content from at least one server over a first network connection;
wherein the mobile device is enabled to connect to a separate electronic device for display of the video content on the separate electronic device;
wherein the mobile device is enabled to increase the speed of the download of a plurality of content by the simultaneous communication over a plurality of wireless frequencies; and
wherein the mobile device responsive to a detection of movement by the mobile device, activates a buffering mechanism to initiate a separate network connection to the at least one server to buffer the video content.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a stream of the video content is enabled to start on the mobile device and continue on the separate electronic device; and wherein the separate electronic device is enabled to receive a sequence location of the video content to start based on the last delivered frame by the at least one server to the mobile device.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the mobile device is enabled to initiate a connection to the separate electronic device to provide an initial video; and wherein the separate electronic device is enabled to connect to the at least one server to directly download a remaining video stream of the video content.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein an identification of the place of the video stream is managed by the at least one server.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first network connection is over Wi-Fi and the separate network connection is over cellular.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein responsive to the detection of movement, the mobile device enters into a wake state for the cellular enabled separate network connection.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the video content is an HD video stream; and wherein the separate electronic device comprises the functionality of a set top tv box.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein a network access point is enabled to set a priority traffic for the video content.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein network traffic associated with the video stream is associated with a higher priority and a controller manages the network flow in accordance with the priority levels.
10. A method comprising:
streaming by a mobile device a plurality of content from at least one server;
enabling the mobile device to connect to a separate electronic device for display of the plurality of content on the separate electronic device;
wherein the mobile device is enabled to increase the speed of the downloading the plurality of content by the simultaneous communication over a plurality of wireless frequencies; and
responsive to a detection of motion by the mobile device, initiating a separate connection to the at least one server to download and buffer the plurality of content.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of content is a stream of video content; wherein the video content is configurable to start on the mobile device and continue on the separate electronic device; and wherein the separate electronic device is enabled to receive a sequence location of the video content to start based on the last delivered frame by the server to the mobile device.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is enabled to initiate a connection to the separate electronic device to provide an initial video of the stream of video content; and wherein the separate electronic device is enabled to connect to the at least one server to directly download a remaining video stream of the stream of video content.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of content is a stream of video content; and wherein an identification of a place of the stream of video content is coordinated by a controller.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first network connection is over Wi-Fi and the separate network connection is over cellular.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein responsive to the detection of movement, the mobile device enters into a wake state for the cellular enabled separate network connection.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of content is an high definition video stream; and wherein the separate electronic device comprises the functionality of a set top tv box.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein a network access point is enabled to set a priority traffic for the plurality of content including video traffic.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein network traffic associated with video is associated with a higher priority and a controller manages the network flow in accordance with the priority levels.
