Facilitating buffer wait time determination based on device- or entity-related conditions
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory storing computer executable components; and
a processor configured to execute the following computer executable components stored in the memory;
an interface component that;
facilitates a display indicative of an option to select one or more values for respective one or more defined parameters about an entity; and
a buffer analysis component that;
determines a buffer wait time from a plurality of candidate buffer wait times for the entity, wherein each of the candidate buffer wait times is associated with one of a plurality of levels of experience for the entity related to a rate of abandonment of content assigned to the entity prior to or during playback of the content.

Abstract
Systems and methods that relate to determination of buffer wait time based on defined parameters are described. A method includes: determining, by a first device including a processor, information associated with one or more defined parameters; and generating a buffer wait time based on the information, wherein the information is associated with at least one of an entity for which buffering of content will be provided or a second device that performs playback of the content. The defined parameters can include, but are not limited to, the type of the second device (e.g., Android operating system 3 or Android operating system 4), the type of connection for the second device (e.g., Long-Term Evolution, 3G) or a geographical location of the second device.

6. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first device comprising a processor, information indicative of one or more defined parameters for an entity; and generating a buffer wait time for the entity, wherein the generating comprises employing a function that predicts a likelihood that watch time for the entity with the buffer wait time exceeds an average watch time for the entity with another buffer wait time, wherein the likelihood meets a defined condition, and wherein the buffer wait time is associated with a level of experience for the entity related to a rate of abandonment of content assigned to the entity prior to or during playback of the content. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

14. A method, comprising:
-
identifying, by a device comprising a processor, one or more values for respective one or more defined parameters, wherein the one or more defined parameters are associated with at least one of an entity associated with the device, a type of the device, a network associated with the device or a type of content for playback on the device; and determining a buffer wait time for playback of the content on the device based on the one or more values one or more defined parameters, wherein the buffer wait time is associated with a level of experience for the entity related to a rate of abandonment of the content prior to or during playback of the content. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of calculating a buffer wait time for buffering content provided to a client by a server, the method comprising:
-
modeling a relationship between values of a plurality of parameters and a user experience level with respect to enjoyment of the content by a user of the client to predict different user experience levels for subsets of the plurality of parameters having different values; receiving parameter information from the client, the parameter information describing parameters including a type of client that will play the content; computing the buffer wait time based on the modeled relationship and the received parameter information, wherein the buffer wait time is associated with the user experience level; and providing the computed buffer wait time to the client. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
