US 10,834,358 B1 · Enhancing video quality based on metadata at a client device having more processing power in a system of client devices having different amounts of processing power

Abstract

A system includes multiple client devices that are capable of capturing and displaying video data, in which at least two of the client devices have different amounts of processing power. A connection is established at a client device having more processing power to a client device having less processing power. The client device having more processing power receives video data captured by the client device having less processing power as well as metadata associated with the video data via the connection as the video data are being captured by the client device having less processing power. The client device having more processing power processes the video data based on the metadata associated with the video data within a duration of the connection, thereby enhancing a quality of the video data. The processed video data are then displayed at the client device having more processing power.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

establishing, at a first client device, a videoconferencing session with a second client device in which the first client device and the second client device capture and send video data to the other and display captured video data of the other, and wherein the first client device has more processing power than the second client device;
receiving, at the first client device, video data captured by the second client device via the connection;
receiving, at the first client device, metadata associated with the captured video data via the connection;
processing at the first client device, the captured video data based at least in part on the metadata within a duration of the videoconferencing session, such that a quality of the captured video data is enhanced;
and
displaying the processed video data at the first client device.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

establish a videoconferencing session between a first client device and a second client device in which the first client device and the second client device capture and send video data to the other and display captured video data of the other, and wherein the first client device has more processing power than the second client device;
receive, at the first client device, video data captured by the second client device via the connection;
receive, at the first client device, metadata associated with the captured video data via the connection;
process, at the first client device, the captured video data based at least in part on the metadata within a duration of the videoconferencing session, such that a quality of the captured video data is enhanced;
and
display the processed video data at the first client device.
