Abstract
Methods and systems for saving resources when outputting a media asset such as a video are provided. The media asset is split into a first portion with a first importance and a second portion with the second importance. The first portion is displayed with a first set of output parameters (e.g., resolution, bit rate, frame rate, display size) and the second portion is displayed with a second set of output parameters that correspond to a lower quality than the first set of output parameters (e.g., a lower resolution, a lower bit rate, a lower frame rate, a lower display size).
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a battery-powered computing device, a media asset;
- determining that a battery level of the computing device is below a threshold level;
- and
- activating a resource-saving mode at the computing device, the resource-saving mode comprising:
- accessing a user profile comprising one or more viewing preferences;
- identifying, based on a first viewing preference of the one or more viewing preferences, a first portion of the media asset having a first importance;
- identifying, based on a second viewing preference of the one or more viewing preferences, a second portion of the media asset having a second importance, wherein the first importance is higher than the second importance;
- generating, for output at a display of the computing device, the first portion at a first size with respect to the display;
- and
- generating, for output at the display of the computing device, the second portion at a second size with respect to the display, wherein the first size is larger than the second size.

A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive, at a battery-powered computing device, a media asset;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- determine that a battery level of the computing device is below a threshold level;
- and
- activate a resource-saving mode at the computing device, the resource-saving mode comprising processing circuitry further configured to:
- access a user profile comprising one or more viewing preferences;
- identify, based on a first viewing preference of the one or more viewing preferences, a first portion of the media asset having a first importance;
- identify, based on a second viewing preference of the one or more viewing preferences, a second portion of the media asset having a second importance, wherein the first importance is higher than the second importance;
- generate, for output at a display of the computing device, the first portion at a first size with respect to the display;
- and
- generate, for output at the display of the computing device, the second portion at a second size with respect to the display, wherein the first size is larger than the second size.
