SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MEDIA

摘要

A system includes a routing processor with a combination of hardware and software and a plurality of streaming devices. The routing processor receives from the communication device an identification associated with a request by the communication device to have the media streamed to the communication device. The routing processor determines if the identification associated with the request is valid and determines if at least one of the plurality of streaming devices is able to stream at least a portion of the media to the communication device. If the routing processor determines that the identification associated with the request is valid and that the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices is able to stream the at least the portion of the media to the communication device, the routing processor identifies to the communication device the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices. The at least one of the plurality of streaming devices that is identified by the routing processor to the communication device receives from the communication device the identification associated with the request and determines if the identification associated with the request is valid. If the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices has determined that the identification associated with the request is valid, the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices streams the at least the portion of the media to the communication device.

1. A system including a combination of hardware and software for streaming media to a communication device, the system comprising:
a routing processor; and a plurality of streaming devices, wherein the routing processor:
receives from the communication device an identification associated with a request by the communication device to have the media streamed to the communication device,determines if the identification associated with the request is valid,determines if at least one of the plurality of streaming devices is able to stream at least a portion of the media to the communication device, andif the routing processor has determined that the identification associated with the request is valid and that the a least one of the plurality of streaming devices is able to stream the at least the portion of the media to the communication device, identify to the communication device the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices; and wherein the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices that is identified by the routing processor to the communication device:
receives from the communication device the identification associated with the request,determines if the identification associated with the request is valid, andif the at least one of the plurality of streaming devices determines that the identification associated with the request is valid, stream the at least the portion of the media to the communication device.
