Patent number: 11375031Abstract: There is provided methods for managing streaming over communication networks. Server and client devices share a push policy so that the client device may anticipate data pushes by the server. Anticipation makes it possible to cancel early the sending of some pushed data, therefore reducing bandwidth consumption. The shared push policy may be implicit to both server and client. In embodiments, it is explicitly specified by the server to the client, for example embedded in the Media Presentation Description file or included in a specific HTTP header. The client may also request an update of the shared push policy to meet its own requirements.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Youenn Fablet, Romain Bellessort, Frédéric Maze, Naël Ouedraogo, Franck Denoual, Hervé Ruellan

Patent number: 11201934Abstract: The present invention relates to pushing at least one resource associated with a main resource, in response to a request for this main resource. After having received a request for a main resource and obtained from the cache memory a list of at least one resource linked to the main resource, an indication being associated with the at least one resource, the indication comprising a push policy defined by an application server, the at least one resource stored in the cache memory is pushed in response to a comparison of the indication associated with the at least one resource with a recommendation comprising a preferred push policy.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2016Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Youenn Fablet, Hervé Ruellan, Romain Bellessort

Patent number: 11122150Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding or decoding messages, each message including a list of information items. The encoding method comprises determining a first list of indexes associated with information items that are already indexed in a local indexing table and a second list of literal values of other information items not yet indexed in said indexing table; encoding the indexes of the first list; binary compressing at least a serialized binary representation of the literal values of the second list; and concatenating the first list and the second list together to obtain an encoded bitstream of the information items. When the messages are sent over a plurality of connections, a global table is shared between the connections to store the indexed items of information; and a local indexing table for each connection associates indexes with references to an entry of the shared global table.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Romain Bellessort, Youenn Fablet, Hervé Ruellan

Patent number: 10110507Abstract: The present invention relates generally to network quality estimation using HTTP/2 push feature. When network quality estimation is required, a client web application requests a server to enter a probing mode. During the probing mode, the server pushes useful data to the application for the latter to perform the estimation. This avoids wasting bandwidth since the useful data are likely to be used by the application. Furthermore, during the probing mode, the server notifies the application of the push start and the push end of each pushed data. This is one using a web socket established with the application. This makes it possible to overcome the limitations of the application in accessing HTTP/2 features of a client browser. Based on the notifications, the application is able to perform accurate estimations.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Youenn Fablet, Romain Bellessort, Frédéric Maze
