A concise summary of US Patent 12,118,591 is as follows:
Title: Mobile device streaming media application
Assignee: Weple IP Holdings LLC
Inventors: Mary Anne Fletcher
Filing Date: June 11, 2024
Issue Date: October 15, 2024
Abstract: A system and process for coordinating streaming content or messages is provided. A network-connected server maintains a database containing media content-related data, such as the text of a message, accompanying media, time of airing, payment, and related comments. A user can view these feeds or streams of these consciousness messages by downloading a mobile application or browsing to a website. The application can also be used to create, schedule, and pay for a media content message.
Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:
Claim 1: A method for servers to manage and distribute media messages to a mobile application. The servers receive multiple media messages, each with an expiration time. They then select a specific group of these messages to create a "feed" that is sent to the mobile app. Each message in this feed comes with an advertisement. The server can create and send different feeds (a first and a second) to the same mobile app, with each feed presenting a different set of ad-supported media messages.
Claim 11: A system of one or more servers designed to perform the method described in Claim 1. The system is configured to receive media messages with expiration data, store them, and select subsets of these messages to create distinct, ad-supported feeds. These feeds are then provided to a mobile application for presentation to a user.
Claim 21: A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium (e.g., a hard drive or other storage device) that contains instructions. When these instructions are executed by one or more servers, they cause the servers to carry out the method described in Claim 1. This includes receiving, storing, and selecting media messages to be compiled into different ad-supported feeds, which are then sent to a mobile application.
