  • Patent number: 10229473
    Abstract: In response to detection of a selection of an accelerated frame rate during decoding of video content, encoded accelerated frame rate decoding priority data values assigned to individual prioritized video frames of the video content are identified. A prioritized video frame subset of the individual prioritized video frames of the video content to decode that yields a maximized cumulative set of the assigned encoded accelerated frame rate decoding priority data values is determined based upon differences among the assigned encoded accelerated frame rate decoding priority data values and the selected accelerated frame rate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2019
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 9786029
    Abstract: In response to detection of a selection of an accelerated frame rate operation associated with a video advertisement, a quantity of individual prioritized video frames of the video advertisement to render based upon a selected accelerated frame rate is determined. Accelerated frame rate rendering priority values assigned to the individual prioritized video frames of the video advertisement are identified. Based upon differences among the identified accelerated frame rate rendering priority values assigned to the individual prioritized video frames, a prioritized video frame subset of the individual prioritized video frames is determined. The prioritized video frame subset of the individual prioritized video frames is equal in number to the determined quantity of individual prioritized video frames of the video advertisement and is determined to yield a maximized cumulative set of the identified accelerated frame rate rendering priority values.
