摘要:
Methods and systems for selecting media service providers based on static resource information are described. A type of service to be performed on an item of content is identified. The item of content is identified during a session with a client device. A service provider is selected from a plurality of service providers. The selection is based on static service provider and static network information. The selection of a service provider is further based on service session information if the service session information has been received. Information is provided for transferring the session to the selected service provider. The selected service provider performs the service on the item of content.

One embodiment of the invention includes a method for managing a streaming media service. The method includes receiving a request for a streaming media service from a client and the streaming media service includes a media service component. A service location manager is selected to which to provide the request from a plurality of service location managers. Additionally, a service provider is selected to which to assign the media service component from a plurality of service providers of a network. Furthermore, the service provider is informed of the assignment to perform the media service component. The service provider is caused to prepare to perform the streaming media service on streaming media. Moreover, information is used to determine whether to initiate a handoff of the streaming media service from the service provider to another service provider. If it is determined to initiate the handoff, the handoff is initiated.

Methods and systems for overcoming the apparent loss of a data packet are described. Encoded second data can be accessed, where the second data is predictively encoded with reference to encoded first data. A data packet that includes at least a portion of the first encoded data can be sent to a downstream device. If the data packet was not properly received by the downstream device, the encoded second data can be adapted to make it decodable independent of the encoded first data.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a request is generated from a first device to a remotely located second device for a modified media stream. A period of delay is then determined between when the request is generated and when the modified media stream is desired. The modified media stream is then created on the first device during the period of delay such that the modified media stream is available during the period of delay.

Determining a location. An initial image is captured at an image capturing device. The initial image is compared with images in a database of images which have associated locations to determine the location of the image capturing device. A user receives a notification if a location cannot be determined.
