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 associating, at a distribution system, a sharing code with a shared connection to be established to distribute communication of a complete data stream among multiple devices, the associating of the sharing code with the shared connection being performed in response to a first request received from a first device. Disclosed example methods also include transmitting the sharing code from the distribution system to the first device in response to the first request. Disclosed example methods further include, in response to receiving a second request including the sharing code from a second device, establishing a data connection via which a first partial data stream corresponding to a portion of the complete data stream is to be transmitted from the distribution system to the second device.

1. A method comprising:
associating, by executing an instruction with a processor of a distribution system, a sharing code with a shared connection to be established to distribute communication of a complete data stream among multiple devices, the associating of the sharing code with the shared connection being performed in response to a first request received from a first device; transmitting, by executing an instruction with the processor, the sharing code from the distribution system to the first device in response to the first request; and in response to receiving a second request including the sharing code from a second device different from the first device, establishing, by executing an instruction with the processor, a data connection via which a first partial data stream corresponding to a portion of the complete data stream is to be transmitted from the distribution system to the second device.
