Method and terminal for tile selection amongst a set of tiles

A terminal configured to select a tile amongst a set of tiles associated with a multimedia content requested by the terminal, said multimedia content being divided into a plurality of tile segments,

• wherein said terminal comprises one memory and one processing circuitry configured to perform:
• obtaining a next position of a viewport of the terminal at an expiration of a current tile segment based on an estimation of a trajectory of the viewport;
• identifying one or several tiles amongst the set of tiles, consecutive ones of the one or several tiles overlap one another and each of the one or several tiles comprising at least the viewport at the next position;
• for each identified tile, determining at least one processing parameter depending on at least a center of the identified tile and said next position of the viewport;
• selecting an identified tile for which the determined at least one processing parameter meets a selection criterion.

A computer program product which is stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprises program code instructions executable by a processor for implementing a method for selecting, at a terminal, a tile amongst a set of tiles associated with a multimedia content requested by the terminal, said multimedia content being divided into a plurality of tile segments, which comprises:

• obtaining a next position of a viewport of the terminal at an expiration of a current tile segment based on an estimation of a trajectory of the viewport;
• identifying one or several tiles amongst the set of tiles, consecutive ones of the one or several tiles overlap one another and each of the one or several tiles comprising at least the viewport at the next position;
• for each identified tile, determining at least one processing parameter depending on at least a center of the identified tile and said next position of the viewport;
• selecting an identified tile for which the determined at least one processing parameter meets a selection criterion.
