  • Patent number: 9878241
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method are provided for performing video compression including encoding a plurality of video frames or portions thereof according to a first encoding format; transmitting the plurality of encoded video frames or portions to a client device; receiving feedback information from the client device, the feedback information usable to detect whether one or more video frames or portions thereof have not been successfully received and/or decoded; determining, in response to detecting that one or more video frames or portions thereof have not been successfully received and/or decoded, whether to encode a new video frame or portion thereof according to a second encoding format or to encode the new video frame to be dependent on the last video frame or portion thereof known to have been successfully received and/or decoded.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160007045
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method are described for performing video compression. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: encoding a plurality of video frames or portions thereof according to a first encoding format; transmitting the plurality of encoded video frames or portions to a client device; receiving feedback information from the client device, the feedback information usable to determine whether data contained in the video frames or portions has not been successfully received and/or decoded; in response to detecting that one or more video frames or portions thereof have not been successfully received and/or decoded, then either encoding a new video frame or portion thereof according to a second encoding format or encoding the new video frame to be dependent on the last video frame or portion thereof known to have been successfully received and/or decoded.

  • Publication number: 20100166056
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method are described for encoding video. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: selecting a tile size for subdividing each image in a sequence of images based on a specified type of encoding algorithm to be used for encoding the tiles, wherein M tiles are encoded for each image, each tile being encoded according to a first encoding format or a second encoding format, each tile having a designated tile location within each image; specifying a rotating pattern to be used for encoding the tiles over a sequence of N images, the rotating pattern comprising encoding only certain tiles of each image using the first encoding format, and rotating the tile locations selected for the first encoding format over the N images to ensure that all M tiles have been encoded according to the first encoding format across the N images; and encoding the sequence of N images using the rotating pattern.
