Publication number: 20230283538Abstract: The embodiments described herein can dynamically adjust timing of network bandwidth estimations by adjusting a target frequency for sending probing sequences to one or more receivers of content. The receivers receive these probing sequences from a transmitter and respond to the transmitter with network bandwidth estimations. In one embodiment, the probing sequences can use the content itself to create the probing sequences. The embodiments can be used in video conferencing applications to control how a transmitter of content can adjust transmissions based upon the network bandwidth estimations. In one embodiment, a policy can be used at a transmitter to begin a video transmission with a high frequency target for sending probing sequences (with, e.g., smaller length probing sequences) and transition to a lower frequency target (with, e.g., longer length probing sequences) when network bandwidth deteriorates and then return to the higher frequency target when the network bandwidth improves.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Hsien-Po Shiang, Ming Jin, Gabriel Nava Marino, Gurtej Singh G. Chandok, Hyeonkuk Jeong, Padmavathy Bhooma, Christoph Paasch, Christopher M. Garrido, David L. Biderman, Erik Vladimir Ortega Gonzalez

Patent number: 10638169Abstract: A video streaming method for transitioning between multiple sequences of coded video data may include receiving and decoding transmission units from a first sequence of coded video data. In response to a request to transition to a second sequence of coded video data, the method may determine whether a time to transition to the second sequence of coded video data can be reduced by transitioning to the second sequence of coded video data via an intermediate sequence of coded video data. If the time can be reduced, the method may include receiving at least one transmission unit from an intermediate sequence of coded video data that corresponds to the request to transition, decoding the transmission unit from the intermediate sequence, and transitioning from the first sequence to the second sequence via the decoded transmission unit from the intermediate sequence.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yeping Su, Chris Y.

Patent number: 10616759Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a device that transmits/receives encrypted communications with another device. A first device, such as a smart phone or smart watch, may generate a message associated with a certain data class, which may determine the security procedure used in the communication of the message. The first device may establish an encryption session for the purpose of communicating the message to a second device. Prior to sending the message, the first device may wait until encryption credentials are accessible according to certain conditions, which may be determined at least in part by the data class of the message. Similarly, after receiving the message, the second device may not be able to decrypt the message until encryption credentials are accessible according to certain conditions, which may be determined at least in part by the message data class.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Berkat S.

Patent number: 10341860Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described for allowing a first device to learn how to connect to a first network using information that a second device obtained about a second network that is related to the first network. The second device can perform a virtual network discovery of the first network on behalf of the first device. The second device can describe how to initiate one or more connections to the first network by modifying the information the second device obtained about the second network. The second device can send the information identifying how to initiate the connections to the first network to the first device. The first device can automatically initiate connections to the first network without requiring user input.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Vinesh Pallen, Hyeonkuk Jeong, Kapil Chhabra

Patent number: 10064026Abstract: A unified message delivery between multiple devices is disclosed. Sending messages through a local communications link, such as but not limited to at least one of a Bluetooth connection and a peer-to-peer WiFi connection, can lead to faster transmission times and reduced server load. When the local communications link is unavailable or not suitable, the messages can be sent through a network and a push server. In some examples, messages can be sent through both the local communications link and through the network and the push server. Duplicates of a received message can be avoided by utilizing indicators. In some examples, one or more devices can include queue(s) to ensure ordered delivery of a plurality of messages when a local communications link and network connection become unavailable.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 10045089Abstract: For a first device participating in a video communications session with a second device, some embodiments provide a method that receives sets of encoding features supported by each of one or more decoders of the second device. The method selects an encoder for the video communication session from several encoders available to the first device. The method selects a set of encoding features of the selected encoder based on the sets of encoding features received from the second device. The method transmits an encoded video bitstream to the second device along with information identifying the selected features in order for the second device to select a decoder to decode the bitstream.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Hyeonkuk Jeong, Roberto Garcia, Jr., Xiaosong Zhou, Douglas S.
