Live uplink transmissions and broadcasting management system and method
First Claim
1. A system for managing a plurality of live video streams, the system comprising:
- at least one first processing device to;
communicate with a plurality of second processing devices and a plurality of servers;
receive metadata information regarding the plurality of live video streams, each of the plurality of video streams constructed of a first plurality of packets transmitted via a first cellular network and a second plurality of packets transmitted via a second cellular network, whereinthe first cellular network is different than the second cellular network and the metadata information includes information indicative of transmission performances of the first cellular network transmitted over the first cellular network and information indicative of transmission performances of the second cellular network transmitted over the second cellular network;
provide a plurality of referral links to the plurality of live video streams, wherein each referral link enables at least one of the plurality of second processing devices access to one of the plurality of live video streams transmitted by a remote unit associated with at least one of the plurality of servers; and
categorize the plurality of referral links based on the metadata information.

Abstract
A live uplink transmission and broadcasting management system and method for managing a plurality of live uplink transmissions and broadcasting events, the system comprising: (i) a publication portal for publishing transmissions of live events; (ii) a database for storing metadata, system data, broadcast data and user data; (iii) a broadcast manager adapted for receiving and processing in real-time metadata information related to a plurality of live uplink transmission events wherein each live uplink transmission event transmits in a plurality of uplink channels, wherein processed metadata information generate data elements adapted for being used in telecom and datacom real time management applications, said broadcast manager also adapted for updating the publication portal with live event information and (iv) a set of Quality of Service (QoS) management methods to coordinate the usage of Uplink transmissions based on the received metadata and their processing in the broadcast manager.
