In one aspect, a method of establishing a reduced setup time session through a gateway is provided which includes: receiving a first capability message transmitted from the first terminal to the gateway; receiving a second capability message transmitted from the second terminal to the gateway; transmitting first and second capability response messages from the terminal to the first and second terminals, respectively; receiving a media stream transmitted from the second terminal to the gateway; processing the media stream, including identifying a temporal feature in the media stream that enables a decoder to establish a decoder refresh point; receiving an acknowledgment message transmitted from the first terminal to the gateway; and, thereafter transmitting the processed media from the gateway to the first terminal.
摘要:
A multimedia device configured to support video in a session of a call includes one or more media providing devices and one or more computer codes directed to performing an initialization process for the one or more media providing devices. The initialization process may be performed at an initialization time prior to or substantially equal to a first time prior to or substantially equal to a reception time associated with receiving an indication of call acceptance from a called device, or second time prior to or substantially equal to an acceptance time associated with call acceptance by the multimedia device. The multimedia device also includes one or more computer codes directed to transmitting one or more preferences for the session according to a session setup procedure, one or more media processors coupled to the one or more media providing devices, and one or more computer codes directed to transmitting media on one or more media channels associated with the session.
摘要:
An apparatus for adapting media content in one or more networks includes a controller module, one or more network interface modules, and one or more protocol interface modules coupled to the controller module. The apparatus also includes a script interpretation module coupled to the controller module and one or more media adaptation modules coupled to the controller module. The one or more media adaptation modules may support audio, video, or meta data. The apparatus further includes a management interface module coupled to the controller module. Media may be received at the apparatus as streaming media and be provided from the apparatus as a download or a progressive download. Additionally, media may be received at the apparatus as a download or progressive download and be provided from the apparatus as streaming media.

摘要:
A method of initiating a set up process for a call between users with reduced set up times using one or more 3G telecommunication networks. The method includes establishing a bearer channel between a first terminal and a second terminal after a call signaling process and determining, at the first terminal, one or more preferences for a call between the first terminal and the second terminal. The one or more preferences are associated with one or more modes of operation for the call. The method also includes determining a mobile level for operations and interleaving the one or more preferences, the mobile level for operations, and one or more media streams. The method further includes transferring the one or more preferences, the mobile level for operations, and the one or more media streams from the first terminal to the second terminal through a portion of a telecommunication network using the bearer channel.

摘要:
A method of establishing a session between a first device and a second device. The session is established over a telecommunications network using an accelerated session setup technique. The method includes providing a first accelerated session setup technique and providing a second accelerated session setup technique. The method also includes establishing the session using either the first accelerated session setup technique or the second accelerated session setup technique based on a predetermined process.
摘要:
A method of initiating a call between users with reduced call set-up times using one or more telecommunication networks. The method is provided between at least a pair of H.324-like terminals coupled to the one or more telecommunication networks. The method includes providing one or more preferences for a call associated with a first terminal and a second terminal. The one or more preferences are associated with an initial mode of operation for the call between the first terminal and the second terminal. The method also includes processing the one or more preferences as a Custom Message, embedding the Custom Message in a predetermined field of a call initiation message, and transferring the Custom Message from the first terminal to the second terminal through a telecommunication network using call signaling. The method further includes processing the Custom Message by the second terminal, transferring a Custom Response Message by the second terminal using a call signaling response message to indicate to the first terminal the initial mode of operation, and exchanging information between the first terminal and the second terminal after the initial mode of operation has been established.
摘要:
Methods of establishing multimedia telecommunication (a multimedia “call”) between equipment (“terminals”). More particularly, the invention provides methods for reducing the time required to establish calls between terminals that implement the ITU-T H.324 Recommendation and other Standards and Recommendations derived from or related to this such as the 3G-324M recommendation developed and adopted by the Third Generation Partnership Projects (3GPP and 3GPP2). More specifically, it relates to (i) a method and apparatus for concatenating the H.245 messages that are required to pass between the terminals at the start of the call to establish the capabilities of both terminals and agree on the type and format of media and data to be exchanged (ii) a method and apparatus for using non-standard H.245 messages or standard H.245 messages with non-standard fields to accelerate such establishment and (iii) a method and apparatus of informing each terminal of the capabilities of the other and proposing the type and format of media and data to be exchanged by means of any user-defined fields that are inserted in the call signaling protocol that is used for bearer establishment prior to the start of the H.324 stage of the call.
