Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method begins by receiving a first sub-set of encoded data slices of a set of encoded data slices. The first sub-set of encoded data slices includes less than a decode threshold number of encoded data slices. The method continues by sending accessing information regarding access to the multi-media content subsequent to receiving the first sub-set of encoded data slices. The method continues by receiving, as a favorable response to the accessing information, at least one of the encoded data slices of the second sub-set of encoded data slices such that at least the decode threshold number of encoded data slices have been received from the set of encoded data slices. The method continues by decoding the at least the decode threshold number of encoded data slices to recover the data segment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for execution by a processing module of a computing device, the method comprises: receiving a first sub-set of encoded data slices, wherein a data segment of multi-media content is encoding using a dispersed storage error coding function to produce a set of encoded data slices, and wherein the set of encoded data slices is partitioned into the first sub-set of encoded data slices and a second sub-set of encoded data slices, wherein the first sub-set…
