SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND COORDINATED DELIVERY OF BURDENSOME MEDIA CONTENT
First Claim
1. A networked computing system for detecting and coordinating the distribution of burdensome media content, the networked computing system comprising:
- a first computing device;
a second computing device; and
a data communications network facilitating data communications amongst all computing devices within the networked computing system,wherein the first computing device generates a data transfer request indicating a media content to be transferred, and in response to the data transfer request, an automatic determination is made as to whether the media content is burdensome to at least a portion of the data communications network over which the media content is to be transferred.

Abstract
A networked computing system that is capable of detecting and coordinating the distribution of burdensome media content. The networked computing system includes one or more sending devices, one or more receiving devices, and a data communications network capable of facilitating data communications amongst all networked computing devices. In response to a sending or receiving device generating a data transfer request, an automatic determination is made as to whether the media content is burdensome to a portion of the data communications network over which the media content is to be transferred. The automatic determination may be made by a sending device, a receiving device, or another local network resource (such as a gateway). The determining device may then coordinate the media content transfer based on characteristics of the media content and available network resources.
