    摘要: Methods and systems for a multimedia queue management solution that maintaining graceful Quality of Experience (QoE) degradation are provided. The method selects a frame from all weighted queues based on a gradient function indicating a network performance rate change and a distortion rate caused by the frame and its related frames in the queue, and dropping the selected frame and all its related frames, and continues to drop similarly chosen frame until a network performance rate change caused by the dropping frame and its related frames meets a predetermined performance metric. A frame gradient is a distortion rate divided by a network performance rate change caused by the frame and its related frames, and a distortion rate is based on a sum of each individual frame distortion rate when the frame and its related frames are replaced by some other frames derived from remaining frames based on a replacement method.

    摘要: A multilayer digital content protection system, particularly for a digital cinema application is provided. Detection of unauthorized activity at the time it is occurring is provided using a first protection layer. Two layers of imperceptible watermarks, one camcorder viewable and one camcorder invisible are inserted into unauthorized copies of the digital content with second and third protection layers. Strong near infrared is also used to degrade the quality of any attempted unauthorized recording of digital content using a camcorder.

    摘要: The semi-fragile watermark comprises a fragile watermark component and a robust watermark component. Features are extracted from the video stream and subsequent hashing and encryption processes are performed to generate the fragile watermark. The fragile watermark includes control data information at the block level as well as frame and group level information. The fragile watermark is added on top of the robust watermark, giving the system the ability to detect alteration at the block level as well as the group level. The resulting semi-fragile watermark has the advantage of being both sensitive to malicious attack while being robust enough to survive bit rate reduction and other types of manipulation typically performed on digital multimedia signals.

    摘要: An embodiment of a system and method that uses inline measurements to probe available bandwidth for a transmission control protocol, and adaptively sets a slow-start threshold according to the available bandwidth. The method includes initializing a congestion window “cwnd,” sending cwnd packets, estimating an available bandwidth for the cwnd packets. The congestion window cwnd is set to a higher number, and the higher number of further packets is sent if the available bandwidth is greater than a first threshold level. The available bandwidth is re-estimated for the higher number of the further packets, and a soft start threshold “ssthresh” is set to the re-estimated available bandwidth. A statistical measure is calculated for the re-estimated available bandwidth, and the congestion window cwnd is set equal to ssthresh if a ratio of the statistical measure to the re-estimated available bandwidth is less than a second threshold level.

    摘要: A system and method for providing media streaming are provided. A media description file having a range string indicator is used to specify location offsets of a plurality of media fragments within a media file. The range string may be stored directly in the media description file or the media description file may contain an indicator specifying a file containing the range string. The media description file may also include a range unit specifying the size of the offsets in the range string. In an embodiment, offsets within the individual media fragments may also be provided, either in the media description file or in a different file.
