Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system obtains encoded video content, and transmits the encoded video content over a network for presentation at a communication device by a video player executing on the communication device. The encoded video content is decoded in a decoding process by a decoder of an operating system of the communication device to generate decoded video content; the decoded video content is analyzed by a complexity analyzer of the operating system to generate a video complexity report. The method also includes receiving the video complexity report over the network from the communication device, and adjusting a data rate for the encoded video content, based at least in part on the video complexity report, to generate adjusted video content for transmission to the communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Mechanisms are provided for allowing a mobile device to dynamically obtain program guide data. A mobile device having the capability of playing media streams is configurable to dynamically request program guide structure information followed by program guide content information. In one example, the program guide structure information allows a user to begin navigating the program guide data in an active and dynamic manner. Program guide content information including data such as program titles, times, icons, and links are then downloaded and displayed as needed. Potentially limitless amounts of program guide data can be provided on a mobile device. Program guide content information can be provided in a generic manner while allowing user layout customization. Program guide information can also be preemptively provided to a mobile device based on a variety of criteria.

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, a control unit, a memory as a work area, a wireless communication module, and an extension register. The control unit controls the non-volatile semiconductor memory device. The extension register is provided in the memory and has a data length by which a wireless communication function of the wireless communication module can be defined. The control unit causes the non-volatile semiconductor memory device to store, as a file, an HTTP request supplied from a host, causes the extension register, based on a first command supplied from the host, to register an HTTP transmission command transmitted together with the first command, and causes the wireless communication module to transmit the HTTP request stored in the non-volatile semiconductor memory device based on the transmission command registered in the extension register.

Media content typically includes closed captioning information such as subtitled in domestic and foreign languages. Techniques and mechanisms provide that closed captioning information may be toggled on/off using menu options and preferences as well as automatically managed by intelligently monitoring the environment surrounding a device. Device sensors such as microphones and vibration monitors determine the noise level of an environment as well as the spectral characteristics of the noise to determine whether the noise profile would interfere with the video playback experience. A particular environmental noise profile could automatically trigger the display of closed captioning information or present an easy access, otherwise unavailable toggle to display closed captioning information associated with a video stream.

An example implementation involves a media playback system that includes one or more playback devices that are controllable by the mobile device while the mobile device is joined to the media playback system. The mobile device may join the media playback system over one or more communication paths via a cellular network from the mobile device to the media playback system. The example implementation may involve detecting that the mobile device is outside of a threshold proximity to the media playback system while the mobile device is joined to the media playback system. Based on detecting that the mobile device is outside of the threshold proximity to the media playback system, the mobile device may disconnect from the media playback system.

A method of directing content preparation for a 5G media streaming (5GMS) network performed by at least one processor implementing a 5GMS application provider, the method comprising creating a content preparation template, by the 5GMS application provider, wherein the content preparation template includes first information specifying instructions for content preparation, and second information specifying instructions for content output; establishing a first provisioning session with a 5GMS application function; transmitting the content preparation template to the 5GMS application function in the first provisioning session, wherein the 5GMS application function requests to allocate 5GMS content preparation resources and 5GMS content distribution resources; and receiving a first acknowledgement from the 5GMS application function, wherein the first acknowledgement indicates an allocation of at least one of content preparation resources and content distribution resources.

A video stream processing method is provided. A first group of coded picture frames in a video stream is received. A storage time and a network request protection time corresponding to the first group are determined. The storage time is an amount of time an intra frame of the first group is stored for transmission to a network node. When a transmission conflict with at least one second terminal occurs in a process of transmitting the intra frame to the network node, a start time of at least a second group of coded picture frames in the video stream is determined according to the storage time and the network request protection time, the second group being after the first group. An intra frame of the second group is transmitted to the network node based on the start time of the second group.

This application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a video coding method and apparatus, a computer-readable medium and an electronic device. The video coding method, executed by the electronic device, includes obtaining historical signal strength information within a historical time period, the historical signal strength information representing a video transmission wireless network signal strength corresponding to each moment of the historical time period; predicting strength information of a next key frame according to the historical signal strength information, the strength information of the next key frame representing a wireless network signal strength for transmitting the next key frame; and determining a target data volume of the next key frame according to the strength information of the next key frame, and performing intraframe coding on the next key frame according to the target data volume.
