Systems and methods for providing real-time audio and data
A computerized method of delivering data to one or more client computing devices includes receiving, by a server computing device, a data stream starting at a first time; processing, by the server computing device, the data stream, thereby creating a processed data stream; transmitting, by the server computing device, via a wireless network in electronic communication with the server computing device, the processed data stream to the one or more client computing devices; and interpreting, by an application installed on the one or more client computing devices, the processed data stream, thereby recovering the data stream for use by the one or more client computing devices. A latency between the first time and the second time is less than 100 milliseconds.
Method and system for multi-channel viewing
A computerized method that may include (i) receiving, by one or more slicers, multiple input streams, the multiple input streams comprise (a) an input video stream that comprises visual information obtained from an event, and (b) at least one additional stream related to the event; (ii) converting the multiple input streams to a group of EISCVSs, different input streams are mapped to different EISCVSs; (iii) determining, by one or more personalization entities, a content to be sent to one or more user devices; (iv) generating, by the one or more personalization entities and based on the determining, the at least one personalized content stream to be sent to one or more user devices; and (v) sending the at least one personalized content stream to the one or more user devices.
Split rendering using network based media processing workflow
Systems and methods for split rendering of Network Based Media Processing (NBMP) are provided. A method includes deriving a network based media processing (NBMP) workflow, and assigning a plurality of workflow tasks of the NBMP workflow among a media sink, a media source, and at least one cloud element, network element, or edge element. A first subset of the plurality of the workflow tasks are assigned to the media source, a second subset of the plurality of the workflow tasks are assigned to the media sink, and a third subset of the plurality of the workflow tasks are assigned to the at least one cloud element, network element, or edge element. The first subset, the second subset, and the third subset do not overlap with each other.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF CONTENT DELIVERY IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK
A system and method for dynamically optimizing content delivery in a wireless communication network. The method comprises receiving, at a transceiver [208A], a request for delivery of a content from at least one user device [202]. A manifest module [208B] determines one or more first parameters for the at least one user device [202] and compares one or more parameters of the at least one user device [202] with one or more second parameters of the at least one cohort. The manifest module [208B] dynamically identifies (or generates) a virtual manifest associated with the at least one cohort (or the at least one user device [202]) based on the comparison. A segmenter module [208C] automatically extracts a stream of data associated with the virtual manifest. The transceiver [208A] delivers the content to the at least one user device [202] based on the extracted stream of data.
System and method for scalable media switching conferencing
A method including: establishing connections, at a server, to at least two client devices using a call control protocol, the call control protocol negotiating video formats and connection information for sending and receiving media streams; receiving information from a first client at the server, the information comprising meta-data describing different media streams the first client is configured to transmit; transmitting the information received from the first client to the at least one other client; receiving a subscribe message from the at least one other client at the server, subscribing to at least one available media stream from the first client; in response to receiving at least one subscribe message from the at least one other client, transmitting, by the server, a message instructing the first client to start transmitting media streams subscribed to by the at least one other client.
Network operating center (NOC) workspace interoperability
This disclosure describes techniques for a consumer application that integrates a model-controller-view (MCV) design pattern with an event streaming platform such as an Apache Kafka™ in a network operation center (NOC) server to support NOC workspace interoperability. The MCV design pattern may include a pattern that divides an application into three main logical components (e.g., model component, controller component, and view component) to handle specific aspects of the application. In one example, the model component decouples the telemetry data streams from an event stream platform, and the controller component filters a queried set of decoupled telemetry data streams to dynamically control views to be rendered in the view component.
Gatewaying of conference calls to browser-based conferences
Systems and methods for interconnecting point-to-point (P2P) (i.e. SIP/H323) and web browser compatible video conferencing services. The conference platform gatewaying service may use a virtual web browser participant to send and/or receive video and/or audio over VoIP/Video standards, such as SIP/H323 or other point-to-point protocols into a web browser compatible conference by means of a virtual web browser participant. The conference platform gateway service may create a binding between a SIP address and a web meeting URL. When communication is initiated from a compatible peer device to the gateway/server by means of a point-to-point protocol, the gateway/server establishes a connection to the web-based conference using the binding between URI and URL, and establishes a connection between the Point-to-point and Web browser compatible meeting service.
Enhanced representations based on sensor data
Techniques for generating enhanced representations based on sensor data are described and are implementable in a video conference setting. Generally, the described implementations enable an enhanced representation of a focal individual, for instance a speaker, to be generated based on sensor data, for instance audio and visual sensor data. The audio data can identify an individual as the speaker or determine a general location of a source of audio. Visual sensors can detect gestures of individuals located in the general location of the source of audio to identify gestures which indicate that one or more individuals are speaking or are about to speak.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING REAL-TIME AUDIO AND DATA
A method of delivering audio to one or more client computing devices includes receiving, by an audio server computing device, a live audio signal starting at a first time; processing, by the audio server computing device, the live audio signal, thereby creating a data representation of the live audio signal; transmitting, by the audio server computing device, via a wireless network in electronic communication with the audio server computing device, the data representation of the live audio signal to the one or more client computing devices; interpreting, by the one or more client computing devices, the data representation of the live audio signal, thereby producing an interpreted audio signal; and providing, by the one or more client computing devices, the interpreted audio signal to a user listening device starting at a second time. A latency between the first time and the second time is less than 100 milliseconds.
Switching Between Transmitting a Preauthored Video Frame and a Composited Video Frame
A method includes transmitting a first preauthored video frame of a plurality of preauthored video frames to a client device. The first preauthored video frame is associated with a preauthored media object. The method includes providing a request for a composited video frame to an interactive source device. The request includes a temporal characteristic associated with the first preauthored video frame. The method includes, in response to providing the request, obtaining, from the interactive source device, the composited video frame including customizable video content and preauthored video content. The preauthored video content is associated with a portion of the preauthored media object based on the temporal characteristic. The method includes, in response to detecting that the first preauthored video frame and the composited video frame together satisfy a switching condition, transmitting the composited video frame to the client device after transmitting the first preauthored video frame to the client device.
