Abstract

Facilitating pre-positioning of streaming content onto communication devices is provided herein. A system can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise facilitating an identification of a first multimedia content stream and a second multimedia content stream. The identification can be based on a usage preference of a defined entity associated with a communication device. The operations can also comprise, in response to a determination that an available network satisfies a defined network criterion, facilitating pre-positioning, at a data store of the communication device, the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 facilitating, by network equipment comprising a processor, a first identification of a first multimedia content stream and a second identification of a second multimedia content stream; and   based on an amount of battery life remaining at a user equipment being determined to satisfy a defined parameter, facilitating, by the network equipment, a preloading of the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream at a data store of the user equipment.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising,
 based on the amount of battery life remaining at the user equipment failing to satisfy the defined parameter, prohibiting, by the network equipment, the preloading of the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream at the data store.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the facilitating comprises:
 facilitating the first identification of the first multimedia content stream based on the first multimedia content stream satisfying a first usage parameter; and   facilitating the second identification of the second multimedia content stream based on the second multimedia content stream satisfying a second usage parameter.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the first usage parameter and the second usage parameter are based on a preference of a viewing entity associated with the user equipment. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the first usage parameter and the second usage parameter are based on historical viewing habits of a viewing entity associated with the user equipment. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream comprise respective indications of release date unlocking, and wherein the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream are not available for viewing at the user equipment until a release date associated with the respective indications of release date unlocking. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 based on an indication received from the user equipment that the first multimedia content stream is not of interest to a defined entity associated with the user equipment, removing, by the network equipment, the first multimedia content stream from the data store.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the removing comprises discontinuing recommendations of multimedia content streams associated with a usage preference utilized for the first identification of the first multimedia content stream. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in response to a determination that the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream were not consumed during a defined time interval, removing the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream from the data store.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the network equipment is configured to operate according to a new radio communication protocol. 
     
     
         11 . A system, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 identifying a first streaming content based on a first usage preference of a user equipment and a second streaming content based on a second usage preference of the user equipment; 
 evaluating a remaining battery power level of a battery of the user equipment; and 
 based on the remaining battery power level satisfying a defined power level, preloading the first streaming content and the second streaming content at a data store of the user equipment. 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 based on the remaining battery power level failing to satisfy the defined power level, prohibiting the preloading the first streaming content and the second streaming content at the data store of the user equipment.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the defined power level is a percentage of a total power level capacity of the battery. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the identifying comprises:
 identifying the first streaming content based on a first usage parameter; and   identifying the second streaming content based on a second usage parameter.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the first usage parameter and the second usage parameter are based on historical viewing habits of an entity associated with the user equipment. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 in response to a determination that the first streaming content and the second streaming content were not consumed during a defined time interval, removing the first streaming content and the second streaming content from the data store.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the user equipment is configured to operate according to a new radio communication protocol. 
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 comparing a remaining battery power capacity level of a user equipment to a defined power capacity level; and   based on the remaining battery power capacity level being determined to be at or more than the defined power capacity level, pre-positioning at least a first portion of a first multimedia content stream and at least a second portion of a second multimedia content stream at a data store of the user equipment.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 based on the remaining battery power capacity level being determined to be less than the defined power capacity level, suspending the pre-positioning of at least the first portion of the first multimedia content stream and at least the second portion of the second multimedia content stream at the data store.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 selecting the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream for the pre-positioning at the data store based on a user defined preference.
