  • Patent number: 10367601
    Abstract: Control logic determines when a network condition has changed by evaluating network condition data. Based on a detected network condition change, the control logic reorders an encoder parameter controller execution sequence of a plurality of encoder parameter controllers. The control logic configures the plurality of reordered encoder parameter controllers so that an encoder parameter determination from a prior encoder parameter controller is used as a decision input for a subsequent encoder parameter controller. An encoder encodes data, such as audio data, video data or other type of data using the generated encoder control parameters from the reordered plurality of encoder parameter controllers. A related method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9729287
    Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments improve encoding during a network call, such as a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) connection, by adjusting the size of a data communications packet (“packet”). Particularly, given a corpus of codecs with which to encode data, the embodiments may identify a packet size based upon a common multiple of each codec's minimum raw data size. The packet size may be selected to accommodate the inclusion of data encoded in each codec format, as well as error correction code data, and codec transition commands. The packet size may be tailored to trade off measured latency and data efficiency.
