  • Reusable and extensible framework for multimedia application development
    Patent number: 8885708
    Abstract: Systems and methods of developing and/or implementing multimedia applications. The system provides an extensible framework including an application layer, a framework utility layer, and a core engine layer. The framework utility layer includes an application programming interface, a video codec sub-framework (XCF), a video packetization sub-framework (XPF), and a video/text overlay sub-framework (XOF). The core engine layer includes one or more core codec engines and one or more core rendering engines. The XCF, XPF, and XOF sub-frameworks are effectively decoupled from the multimedia applications executing on the application layer, and the core codec and rendering engines of the core engine layer, allowing the XCF, XPF, and XOF sub-frameworks and core codec/rendering engines to be independently extensible. The system also fosters enhanced reuse of existing multimedia applications across a plurality of multimedia systems.
