US Patent 11652691 Machine learning-based playback optimization using network-wide heuristics

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for optimizing network performance on a computer device to improve quality of experience by determining which network settings on the computing device to adjust. A clustering algorithm may identify various classes of networks and a classification algorithm may determine a network class specific to a network on a computing device. The effects of certain network settings for that networks class may be determined and the network setting and/or settings that optimizes the network performance may be promoted. The system may periodically analyze network data to recalculate the appropriate networks class and may determine different network settings based on the recalculation, facilitating mid-session improvements to the quality of experience.
