DISTRIBUTING COMMUNICATION OF A DATA STREAM AMONG MULTIPLE DEVICES

摘要

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for distributing communication of a data stream among multiple devices are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include receiving, at a first device, a sharing code from a second device, the sharing code to associate multiple devices with a shared connection to be established to distribute communication of a complete data stream among the multiple devices, the multiple devices including the first device. Disclosed example methods also include transmitting a request including the sharing code from the first device to a distribution system to establish a data connection via which the first device is to receive a first partial data stream corresponding to a portion of the complete data stream from the distribution system. Disclosed example methods further include forwarding the first partial data stream from the first device to the second device.

1. A method to distribute communication of a complete data stream among multiple devices, the method comprising:
receiving, by executing an instruction with a processor of a first device, a sharing code from a second device, the sharing code to associate the multiple devices with a shared connection to be established to distribute the communication of the complete data stream among the multiple devices, the multiple devices including the first device; transmitting, by executing an instruction with the processor of the first device, a request including the sharing code from the first device to a distribution system to establish a data connection via which the first device is to receive a first partial data stream corresponding to a portion of the complete data stream from the distribution system; and forwarding, by executing an instruction with the processor of the first device, the first partial data stream from the first device to the second device.
