  • ENCODED OUTPUT DATA STREAM TRANSMISSION
    Publication number: 20240071400
    Abstract: In some examples, a first device receives a stream of application audio data, encodes the stream of application audio data, and in response to detecting an end of the stream of application audio data, provides pre-encoded filler audio data from a buffer in the first device as an encoded stream of filler audio data. The first device transmits the encoded stream of application audio data and the encoded stream of filler audio data in an encoded output data stream over a transport to a second device.

  • Encoded output data stream transmission
    Patent number: 11830512
    Abstract: In some examples, an audio sending device receives a stream of application audio data, encodes the stream of application audio data, and in response to detecting an end of the stream of application audio data, provides pre-encoded filler audio data from a buffer in the audio sending device as an encoded stream of filler audio data. The audio sending device transmits the encoded stream of application audio data and the encoded stream of filler audio data in an encoded output data stream over a transport to an audio receiving device.

  • System, apparatus and method for transmitting continuous audio data
    Patent number: 10490201
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and a method for transmitting continuous audio data configured to mitigate data discontinuities in a receiving device. The method may mitigate data discontinuities by transmitting a continuous stream of audio data that has reduced changes to the audio data characteristics. The method may transmit filler audio data when no application audio data is available. The application audio data and the filler audio data are processed to reduce changes to the audio data characteristics in each stream.
