摘要:
The present invention relates to a language representation method and data structure for updating an IPMP tool, a method for updating an IPMP tool using the same and a client apparatus using the same in protection and management of multimedia contents, by which the IPMP tool can be represented dynamically in order to provide convenience to users. In the language representation method for updating an IPMP tool in an MPEG-21 multimedia framework, an update element, which describes update information of the IPMP tool, is defined as a higher level element; and a location element, which has information on a location allowing the IPMP tool to be carried thereto, is described as a lower level element of the update element.
摘要:
Techniques for generating utility-based descriptors from compressed multimedia information are disclosed. A preferred method includes the steps of receiving least a segment of compressed multimedia information, determining two or more portions of utility based descriptor information based on one or more adaptation operations, each corresponding to a unique target rate, adapting the compressed multimedia segment by each the portions of utility based descriptor information to generate adapted multimedia segments, using a quality management method to generate measurement for each adapted multimedia segment, and generating a utility based descriptors based on the portions of utility based descriptor information and corresponding quality measurements.
