摘要:
An indexed file layout, comprising index information, is defined for segmented streaming of multimedia content. The index information can comprise program description information and streaming segment index information. In addition, the layout can comprise files containing streaming segments of the program, where the streaming segments are each encoded at one or more bitrates independently of other streaming segments of the program. The layout supports client switching between different bitrates at segment boundaries. Optimized client-side rate control of streaming content can be provided by defining a plurality of states, selecting available paths based on constraint conditions, and selecting a best path through the states (e.g., based on a distortion measure). In one client-side rate control solution states correspond to a specific bitrate of a specific streaming segment, and in another client-side rate control solution states correspond to a measure of client buffer fullness.

A multi-channel audio decoder reconstructs multi-channel audio of more than two physical channels from a reduced set of coded channels based on correlation parameters that specify a full power cross-correlation matrix of the physical channels, or merely preserve a partial correlation matrix (such as power of the physical channels, and some subset of cross-correlations between the physical channels, or cross-correlations of the physical channels with coded or virtual channels).

Access to one or more data streams can be controlled by encrypting a description of how segments of the data streams can be assembled, for example, to produce an audio or video program. Access to the one or more data streams can also be provided by obfuscating names of at least some of the segments in order to make it more difficult to determine the proper order for assembling the segments. In at least some embodiments, the data contained in at least some of the segments themselves is not encrypted.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to playback of video/audio streaming media data to provide a substantially glitch-free experience. The system adapts the media stream to the user connection in order to choose the most desirable stream to avoid glitches. For example, in the case where there is interference (e.g., a microwave being used near a wireless device), the quality of the media stream is lowered. In one embodiment, an index file is used to make logical decisions about which media stream to choose in order to minimize glitches. The index file can take different forms, but, generally, includes characteristics about the available media streams. Example characteristics include the bit rates of the media streams and quality information about the media streams.

A device for dynamically extracting and compressing information for a streaming media asset is provided. One embodiment of the device provides a computing device comprising a processor and memory comprising instructions stored therein that are executable by the processor. The instructions stored in the memory are executable to provide to a requesting computing device dynamically compressed information for a streaming media asset, the dynamically compressed information derived from an information file comprising variable data elements arranged in one or more data fields according to a well-known structure. For example, the instructions are executable to receive from the requesting computing device a request for the compressed information, extract the variable data elements from the information file, compress the variable data elements to form compressed data elements, and send to the requesting computing device a compressed file comprising the compressed data elements.
摘要:
In a computer system that permits multiple audio capture applications to get an audio capture feed concurrently, an audio manager manages audio capture and/or audio playback in reaction to trigger events. For example, a trigger event indicates an application has started, stopped or otherwise changed a communication stream, or indicates an application has gained, lost or otherwise changed focus or visibility in a user interface, or indicates a user change. In response to a trigger event, the audio manager applies a set of rules to determine which audio capture application is allowed to get an audio capture feed. Based on the decisions, the audio manager manages the audio capture feed for the applications. The audio manager also sends a notification to each of the audio capture applications that has registered for notifications, so as to indicate whether the application is allowed to get the audio capture feed.
