摘要:
In a multimedia streaming network where a client has a receiver buffer to store a plurality of packets received from a server so as to compensate for the difference between data transmission amount by the server and data usage amount by the client, the server should be able to adapt the data transmission rate based on the status of the receiver buffer. For rate adaptation purposes, server reconstructs a list of packets in the receiver buffer based on information provided by the client. The information signaled to the server is indicative of the next packet to be decoded in the client. The information can be the sequence number of the next packet to be decoded, the DON number of the next NAL unit to be decoded, or the sequence number of the packet carrying the next NAL unit to be decoded and the DON indicative of the decoding order of that next NAL unit.

The invention discloses a method of improving the playback of streamed media on a client device by overcoming problems caused by variations in the transmission delay of packets due to network and transport protocol operation and variations in encoding/server specific delays. In an embodiment of the invention, a client device has a decoder (120) and a predecoder buffer (110) which receives streamed packets from source server via a packet network. The pre-decoder buffer is variable in size and has a variable initial buffering time for receiving the transmitted packets from the source server prior to decoding in the decoder. The initial buffering time and pre-decoder buffer size can be dynamically adapted for improved playback performance by the source server. In a further aspect of the invention, a post-decoder buffer operates in conjunction with the pre-encoder buffer to reduce decoding-related delay variations.

A system and method provide for updating a parameter set in streaming applications. The method includes receiving a first parameter set from a server device at a client device, receiving an updated parameter set having synchronization information at the client device, wherein the updated parameter set is sent from the server device using a Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) method or Session Description Protocol, processing a bitstream received from the server device at the client device using the first parameter set, and processing the bitstream at the client device using the updated parameter set when the synchronization information indicates that the updated parameter set should be used. The synchronization information may include, but is not limited to, a real-time transport protocol timestamp, a normal play time timestamp, network abstraction layer unit time, and a decoding order number. The RTSP method may include, but is not limited to, a SET_PARAMETER method, a GET_PARAMETER method, a PAUSE method, a PLAY method, a OPTIONS method, a DESCRIBE method and a PING method.

Various methods are described for selecting an access method for receiving a DASH media presentation. One example method may comprise providing for reception of a media presentation description. The media presentation description may identify a first set of access methods for receiving media and may provide attribute values associated with each of the access methods. The method of this example embodiment may further comprise identifying a second set of access methods supported by an apparatus. Furthermore, the method of this example embodiment may comprise determining a third set of access methods belonging to both the first set and the second set. The method of this example embodiment may further comprise selecting an access method from the third set based at least in part on the attribute values associated with the access method. Similar and related example methods, example apparatuses, and example computer program products are also provided.

Various methods are described for enabling efficient pre-fetching of media in a DASH system. One example method may comprise accessing information related to a media presentation description (MPD). The information comprising information related to one or more segments of the MPD. The method of this example embodiment may further comprise generating a request for a segment of the MPD. Furthermore, the method of this example embodiment may comprise generating a request for pre-fetching one or more segments different from the requested segment. The method of this example embodiment may further comprise providing for transmission of the request for the segment and the request for pre-fetching the one or more different segments to a proxy cache server. Similar and related example methods, example apparatuses, and example computer program products are also provided.

Method and apparatus for producing a cinemagraph, wherein based on received user input an image from a sequence of images is selected as a baseframe image. The baseframe image is segmented and at least one segment is selected based on user input. A mask is created based on the selected segments and at least one image most similar to the baseframe is selected from the sequence of images using the mask. The selected images are aligned the baseframe image a first cinemagraph is created from the selected images and the baseframe image using the mask.

A system and method for identifying when an indicated or predetermined media transcoding process results in a media stream that is compliant with an indicated interoperability point. Various embodiments allow for the encoding, storage, transcoding, and transmission of a media stream, for which a transcoding process is identified and the resulting media stream of the transcoding process is associated with at least one property. The signaling of the property or properties, and an identification of the transcoding process in one embodiment, may be included in the media bitstream, in a file format container containing the media bitstream, or in a transmission or control protocol for transmission or control of the media bitstream.

The use of a picture delimiter that is contained in a NAL unit type value that is reserved in the current AVC or SVC specification. The present invention provides the scalability information for the H.264/AVC base layer in such a manner that bitstreams remain decodable with H.264/AVC decoders. In addition, the picture delimiter of the present invention may contain many other syntax elements that can help in easier processing of bitstreams compared to the plain H.264/AVC bitstream syntax.
