Abstract

A data handling or patching system operates to reduce redundant data within a data storage. Data files are compared, and a data difference is output. In files that have very similar data, the data difference between values is relatively small, and thus when a basic data file and a data difference file are stored, data redundancy is significantly reduced. The data difference of “diff” file can then be used to losslessly reproduce the data of either of the compared files. A first or primary port is dedicated for base quality transmissions on which the broadcasting client sends the lowest available quality. Additional or secondary ports enable transmission of higher than base quality data, sent as “diff's” of the base quality. The receiving client combines the “diff” data on the secondary ports with the base data of the first port, to produce higher quality media.

Dependent claims

A data transmission system for enhancing quality of data transmissions, the data transmission system being operable within a computer-based network environment and comprising:

a sending client computer and a receiving client computer within the computer-based network environment, the sending and receiving client computers each being outfitted with a non-transitory, computer-implementable data transmission application and at least two data transmission ports, a basal port of the at least two data transmission ports being dedicated for base quality data transmission and at least one secondary port of the at least two data transmission ports being dedicated for data difference file transmission;
data difference file transmissions being derived from compared data difference sizes, data difference sizes all exceeding an established threshold value denoting a new base file designation for transmission via the at least one secondary port, data difference sizes determined below the established threshold providing a data difference size of least value, the data difference size of least value being stored in place of an original file for transmission via the basal port;
base quality and data difference file transmissions being synchronized at the receiving client computer by aligning the base quality and data difference file transmissions on a timestamp via the non-transitory, computer-implementable data transmission application, the non-transitory, computer-implementable data transmission application further (a) applying an algorithmic process to conform the base quality and data difference file transmissions, as aligned on the timestamp, into a series of individual cube face frames and (b) stitching together the cube face frames via a cubic-mapping mechanism for cohesive playback;
video data being transmitted via both the basal port and the at least one secondary port as the individual cube faces for compiling an entire map shape by way of the cubic-mapping mechanism, port quality being dependent upon a visible cube face of the cubic-mapping mechanism as controlled by a viewer at the receiving client computer.

A data transmission system for producing real-time 360-degree video transmissions within a computer-based network environment, the data transmission system comprising:

a sending client computer and a receiving client computer within the computer-based network environment, the sending client computer and the receiving client computer each being outfitted with a non-transitory, computer-implementable data transmission application and at least two data transmission ports, a basal port of the at least two data transmission ports being dedicated for base quality data transmission and at least one secondary port of the at least two data transmission ports being dedicated for data difference file transmission, video data being transmitted via both the basal port and the at least one secondary port aligned on a timestamp and algorithmically processed via the non-transitory, computer-implementable data transmission application as individual cube faces for compiling an entire map shape of a cubic-mapping mechanism, the cubic-mapping mechanism being operable to stitch together the individual cube faces for cohesive playback and producing real-time 360-degree videos, port quality being dependent upon a visible cube face of the cubic-mapping mechanism as controlled by a viewer at the receiving client computer.
