Abstract

One embodiment provides a text metadata encoding logic. The text metadata encoding logic includes a metadata generation logic configured to generate a first text metadata including metadata for each identified text field included in a first image frame. The metadata generation logic maybe further configured to associate the first text metadata with the first image frame. The first text metadata may be transmitted at a text metadata bit rate. The text metadata bit rate may be less than an image data transmit bit rate. Another embodiment provides a text metadata decoding logic. The text metadata decoding logic includes a metadata reader logic configured to decode a text metadata received with an image frame data. The text metadata may have been transmitted at a text metadata bit rate and the image frame data may have been transmitted at a first image transmit bit rate. The text metadata bit rate is less than the first image transmit bit rate. The text metadata may include metadata for each identified text field included in an image frame corresponding to the image frame data. The text metadata decoding logic may further include a metadata rendering logic configured to render each text field based, at least in part, on the received text metadata.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

a metadata generation circuitry to generate a first text metadata comprising metadata for each identified text field included in a first image frame;
a metadata encoding circuitry to associate the first text metadata with the first image frame for transmission at a text metadata bit rate that is less than an image data transmit bit rate associated with the first image frame;
and
to increment a count included in the first text metadata and to associate at least a portion of the first text metadata with a second image frame, responsive to a determination that at least one identified text field included in the first image frame is included in the second image frame;
and
a communication circuitry to initiate transmission of at least the first image frame, wherein to initiate transmission of at least the first image frame includes to initiate transmission of the first text metadata at the text metadata bit rate and to initiate transmission of image data of the first image frame at the image data transmit bit rate.

A method comprising:

generating, by a metadata generation logic, a first text metadata comprising metadata for each identified text field included in a first image frame;
associating, by the metadata generation logic, the first text metadata with the first image frame for transmission at a text metadata bit rate that is less than an image data transmit bit rate;
responsive to a determination that at least one identified text field included in the first image frame is included in a second image frame, incrementing a count included in the first text metadata and associating the first text metadata with the second image frame;
and
initiating transmission of at least the first image frame, wherein initiating transmission of at least the first image frame includes initiating transmission of the first text metadata at the text metadata bit rate and initiating transmission of image data of the first image frame at the image data transmit bit rate.
