Apple — Wireless/Mobile Live Streaming vs. Landline
Public claim chart comparing Apple's live streaming features with the active wireless/mobile patents of Gabriel De La Vega Jr. (US 10,205,986 & 10,958,961). Landline methods are expired — wireless rights remain active.
| Patent Claim | Apple Feature | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile device live capture & wireless transmission. | iPhone / iPad "Go Live", Apple Events streams | Matches patent claim: wireless capture & transmission. |
| Divide live content into sequential portions for playback. | Apple HLS protocol: .ts segments + M3U8 playlists | Directly parallels patented sequence/portion method. |
| Client buffering & adaptive continuity. | Adaptive bitrate streaming in iOS/tvOS | Bandwidth-aware continuity fulfills claim scope. |
| Distribution to multiple recipients. | Apple CDN-distributed live broadcasts | Server-to-many distribution mirrors the patents. |
Wireless vs. Landline Difference
Landline-era streaming relied on wired phone/fiber lines. Today's Apple streaming is wireless/mobile — the space protected by active patents.
Plain-English Statement
I, Gabriel De La Vega Jr., invented and patented wireless/mobile live streaming. Apple's live streaming reads directly on these claims. The public should understand the difference: expired landline arts vs. my active wireless patents.
