Methods, systems, and devices for bandwidth conservation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to conserve bandwidth, comprising:
- monitoring, by a processing device, bandwidth consumption of a user;
obtaining, by the processing device, a historical pattern of timing related user inputs;
determining, by the processing device, that the timing related user inputs are to be received based on the historical pattern; and
deciding, by the processing device, to ignore the historical pattern of the timing related user inputs when the user is consuming media that does not transition to advertisements, in which deciding to ignore the historical pattern causes the processing device to maintain the bandwidth consumption of the user.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for conserving bandwidth. A user'"'"'s bandwidth consumption is monitored and compared to a threshold value. When the user'"'"'s bandwidth consumption equals or exceeds the threshold value, then behavior is incentivized that reduces the user'"'"'s bandwidth consumption.

12. A processing device, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory comprising a program, the processor coupled to the memory to execute the program; the processor monitoring bandwidth consumption of a user; the processor obtaining a historical pattern of timing related user inputs; the processor determining that the timing related user inputs are to be received based on the historical pattern; and the processor deciding to ignore the historical pattern of the timing related user inputs when the user is consuming media that does not transition to advertisements, in which deciding to ignore the historical pattern causes the processor to maintain the bandwidth consumption of the user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions for causing a computer to execute a method for conserving bandwidth, comprising:
-
monitoring, by a processing device, bandwidth consumption of a user; obtaining, by the processing device, a historical pattern of timing related user inputs; determining, by the processing device, that the timing related user inputs are to be received based on the historical pattern; and deciding, by the processing device, to ignore the historical pattern of the timing related user inputs when the user is consuming media that does not transition to advertisements, in which deciding to ignore the historical pattern causes the processing device to maintain the bandwidth consumption of the user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
