Publication number: 20230318980Abstract: A server transmits an encoded game frame over a network to a respective client system as a set of packets. In response to transmitting the set of packets, the server determines a bandwidth estimate based on the size of the encoded game frame and the timing data associated with the transmitted set of packets. The server then compares the bandwidth estimate to a current video bitrate of the game stream being transmitted from the server to the respective client device. In response to the comparison indicating an underutilization of the network, the server increases the encoding bitrate. Further, in response to the comparison indication an overutilization of the network, the server decreases the encoding bitrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Teng Wei, Connor Smith, David Chu, Devdeep Ray, Bernhard Reinert, Zengbin Zhang

Patent number: 9170325Abstract: Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for distance measurements between computing devices. Some examples determine a distance between devices based at least in part on a propagation time of audio tones between the devices. Further, some examples determine the arrival time of the audio tones by performing autocorrelation on streaming data corresponding to recorded sound to determine a timing of an autocorrelation peak indicative of a detection of an audio tone in the streaming data. In some cases, cross correlation may be performed on the streaming data in a search window to determine a timing of a cross correlation peak indicative of the detection of the audio tone in the streaming data. The location of the search window in time may be determined based at least in part on the timing of the detected autocorrelation peak.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Zengbin Zhang, David Chiyuan Chu, Thomas Moscibroda, Xiaomeng Chen, Feng Zhao
