Abstract:
A method for providing display adaptation metadata (DAM) to a user equipment (UE) at a system level is provided. The method includes configuring DAM for storage in an ISO Base Media File Format (ISOBMFF). The method also includes transmitting the DAM to a UE to control an energy consumption of a presentation on a display of the UE. A method for providing display adaptation metadata (DAM) to a user equipment (UE) at a system level is provided. The method includes configuring DAM for carriage in an MPEG-2 transport system (M2TS). The method also includes transmitting the DAM to a UE to control an energy consumption of a presentation on a display of the UE.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for managing received data by a client device and indicating data removal management by a server. A method for managing received data by a client device includes receiving a message including information about a number of modes for removal of the data from a buffer at the client. The method also includes selecting a mode for removal of the data from the buffer with a maximum required buffer size among the modes indicated by the information about the modes in the received message and removing the data from the buffer based on the identified mode. A method for indicating data removal management by a server includes generating and sending a message including information about a number of modes for removal of received data from a buffer at a client device. The information indicates, for each of the modes, a type of mode for removal of the data.
Abstract:
A method for content delivery using dynamic adaptive hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) streaming (DASH) without using HTTP. The method includes receiving a media presentation description (MPD) file and one or more DASH segments by a client device. Information in the MPD file is used to filter the one or more DASH segments. The filtered DASH segments are stored in a segments buffer. Particular DASH segments are requested from the segments buffer by the client device based on the information.
Abstract:
A method includes identifying an optimal backlight value for at least one quality level of a first video segment. The method also includes transmitting data for the first video segment. The transmitted data for the first video segment includes a message containing a first set of display adaptation information. The first set of display adaptation information includes the optimal backlight value for the at least one quality level of the first video segment. The method further includes identifying a backlight value for the at least one quality level of a second video segment. The method also includes determining a maximum backlight value change threshold between successive video segments. In addition, the method includes applying temporal smoothing between the optimal backlight value and the backlight value based on the maximum backlight value change threshold.
Abstract:
A method for presenting a HTML page comprises determining whether a HTML file contains a reference to a CI document, fetching and processing the CI document describing a behavior of at least one HTML element, and presenting the HTML page by decoding the HTML file, based on the CI document. An apparatus for presenting a HTML page, comprises a processing circuitry configured to determine whether a HTML file contains a reference to a CI document, fetch and process the CI document describing a behavior of at least one HTML element, present the HTML page by decoding the HTML file, based on the CI document.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining content includes determining that a playout of one or more other pieces of content is dependent upon a playout of a first piece of content. The method also includes obtaining the first piece of content and identifying a forced content token associated with the first piece of content. The method further includes obtaining an access token using the forced content token. In addition, the method includes using the access token to obtain the one or more other pieces of content. The forced content token could be identified as a hash of the first piece of content or as a watermark extracted from the first piece of content. The forced content token could also be identified by creating a thumbnail for each of one or more frames in the first piece of content and calculating a differential trace signature for each of the one or more frames.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes receive path circuitry configured to receive a Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Media Transport (MMT) container and a processing device configured to identify locations of one or more media fragment units (MFUs) in the MMT container using a hint track within the MMT container. Another apparatus includes transmit path circuitry configured to transmit an MMT container and a processing device configured to identify locations of one or more MFUs in the MMT container using a hint track within the MMT container.
Abstract:
A method includes calculating a complexity value for each segment or version of multimedia content. The multimedia content has multiple versions associated with common content and different encoding parameters, and each version is divided into segments. The method also includes adaptively streaming the multimedia content to a client device based on at least some of the calculated complexity values. The complexity value for each segment or version is calculated by summing multiple operation complexity values defining complexities of operations for decoding the segment or version. The operation complexity values could include values for a bit parsing operation, a buffer initialization operation, an intra-prediction operation, an inverse quantization and transform operation, a reference block fetch operation, a fractional interpolation operation, and in-loop deblocking operation, a sample adaptive offset correction operation, an adaptive loop filtering operation, and a de-ringing filtering operation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus control delivery of media data in a transmission system. A method of operating a sending entity in the transmission system includes identifying a fixed delay associated with transmission of media data in the transmission system and sending information about the fixed delay as a requirement on a length of time after transmission that the media data is passed to an application layer component or presented to a user of a receiving entity. A method of operating a receiving entity in the transmission system includes receiving media data and information about a fixed delay associated with the media data and identifying a requirement on a length of time after transmission that the media data is passed to an application layer component or presented to a user from the information about the fixed delay.
