  • Patent number: 12047648
    Abstract: An index file for an on-demand media stream (such as video-on-demand) is analyzed to determine one or more content insertion points, also referred to as cue points. The streaming platform modifies the index file such that the streaming platform can select the content to insert later on, preferably making that selection after the index file has been served and preferably a short time before the cue point in the stream. Put another way, the decision as to which content to insert at such points is not predetermined at the time of serving the index file. In this way, content insertions decisions can be made midstream.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a low-latency approach for local or remote application streaming that reaches high FPS targets without overloading the available streaming bandwidth, for example, by limiting the bit rate to the same value that is used by traditional 60 FPS streaming solutions. A client device and server device cooperate to actively monitor and control a video stream to maintain an acceptable balance between latency and video quality by adjusting the frequency or resolution when necessary to improve the streaming experience. When the server device captures and transmits frames at a higher rate, the software stack executing on the client device is able to display frames with less delay, even on a display device limited to 60 Hz, thereby achieving additional latency reduction.

  • Patent number: 11445243
    Abstract: Correcting encode bit rate errors developed by a hardware encoder with an outer software rate adjustment loop. The rate adjustment loop maintains a VBV (video buffering verifier) buffer model. When VBV buffer fullness is over a threshold, the rate adjustment loop drops frames. If below the threshold, periodically a rate adjustment analysis performed. If a number of frames above a threshold have been dropped, the hardware encoder bit rate is decreased. A leaky bucket is checked to determine in bits and out bits. If the number of in bits exceeds the number of out bits times a multiplier, the hardware encoder bit rate is decreased. If the number of in bits times a multiplier is less than the number of out bits, the hardware encoder bit rate is increased. Dropping frames on buffer condition provides shorter term correction and adjustment of the hardware encoder bit rate provides longer term correction.
