Abstract

A method of splitting a data stream into a set of data segments may include receiving the data stream, wherein the data stream may include data packets; selecting a segment time period and a time domain; subdividing the time domain into a set of time blocks, each one of the set of time blocks having a duration of the segment time period; identifying a set of starting data packets corresponding to the set of time blocks; identifying a set of finishing data packets corresponding to the set of starting data packets; identifying a last one of the set of finishing data packets being a last data packet of a last one of the set of time blocks; and identifying the set of data segments based on the corresponding set of starting data packets and the corresponding set of finishing data packets.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A method of splitting a data stream into a set of data segments, the method being performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:

receiving the data stream, wherein the data stream comprises data packets, with at least some of the data packets containing time identifiers;
selecting a segment time period and a time domain;
subdividing the time domain into a set of time blocks, each one of the set of time blocks having a duration of the segment time period;
identifying a set of starting data packets corresponding to the set of time blocks, wherein each one of the set of starting data packets comprises a first data packet having a time identifier in a corresponding each one of the set of time blocks;
identifying a set of finishing data packets corresponding to the set of starting data packets, wherein each one of the set of finishing data packets immediately precedes each one, except a first one, of the set of starting data packets;
identifying a last one of the set of finishing data packets being a last data packet of a last one of the set of time blocks;
and
identifying the set of data segments based on the corresponding set of starting data packets and the corresponding set of finishing data packets.

A method of splitting a data stream into a set of data segments, the method being performed by at least one processor and comprising:

receiving the data stream, wherein the data stream comprises data packets of a fixed length, with at least some of the data packets containing having bit number identifiers;
selecting a segment length unit and a total length;
subdividing the total length into a set of length blocks, each one of the set of length blocks having a length of the segment length unit;
identifying a set of starting data packets corresponding to the set of length blocks, wherein each one of the set of starting data packets comprises a first data packet having a bit number identifier in a corresponding each one of the set of length blocks;
identifying a set of finishing data packets corresponding to the set of starting data packets, wherein each one of the set of finishing data packets immediately precedes each one, except a first one, of the set of starting data packets;
identifying a last one of the set of finishing data packets as being a last data packet of a last one of the set of length blocks;
and
identifying the set of data segments based on the corresponding set of starting data packets and the corresponding set of finishing data packets.
