Abstract

Techniques for media processing are described. A system may initiate and manage a communication session between two or more devices using a media session orchestrator (MESO). The MESO interacts with components associated with media processing services, media routing services, and signaling edge services, enabling devices from one or more networks to send and receive data. During the communication session, the system may perform media processing on data being sent between devices in order to provide additional functionality. For example, video content may be processed to provide subtitles in a plurality of languages, filters may be applied to change color balance or perform colorization of black and white content, or the like. The MESO architecture comprises a plurality of MESO routers and MESO executors, with the MESO routers being configured to route triggers and events associated with a specific media session to a single MESO executor that processes the media session.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more media session routing components and from a first device, a first request to initiate a media session with a second device;
selecting, by the one or more media session routing components and from among a plurality of media session execution components that are each capable of initiating the media session, a first media session execution component that is available to initiate the media session;
sending, from the one or more media session routing components to the first media session execution component, a first command that causes the first media session execution component to initiate the media session at least in part by determining and storing media session data that at least (A) causes first media content data output by the second device to be routed to at least one media processing component for processing to generate second media content data different than the first media content data, and (B) causes the second media content data to be routed to the first device;
receiving, from the first media session execution component, at least a first network address of the first media session execution component;
sending, to the first device, a notification that the media session was initiated, the notification including the first network address;
after sending the notification to the first device, receiving, by the one or more media session routing components and from the first device, first event data associated with the media session, the first event data including the first network address;
and
sending, from the one or more media session routing components to the first media session execution component using the first network address included in the first event data, a second command that causes the first media session execution component to process at least a portion of the first event data using the media session data that has been stored by the first media session execution component since initiation of the media session.

5 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
memory including instructions operable to be executed by the at least one processor to cause the system to:
receive, by one or more media session routing components and from a first device, a first request to initiate a media session with a second device;
select, by the one or more media session routing components and from among a plurality of media session execution components that are each capable of initiating the media session, a first media session execution component that is available to initiate the media session;
send, from the one or more media session routing components to the first media session execution component, a first command that causes the first media session execution component to initiate the media session at least in part by determining and storing media session data that at least (A) causes first media content data output by the second device to be routed to at least one media processing component for processing to generate second media content data different than the first media content data, and (B) causes the second media content data to be routed to the first device;
receive, from the first media session execution component, at least a first network address of the first media session execution component;
send, to the first device, a notification that the media session was initiated, the notification including the first network address;
after sending the notification to the first device, receive, by the one or more media session routing components and from the first device, first event data associated with the media session, the first event data including the first network address;
and
send, from the one or more media session routing components to the first media session execution component using the first network address included in the first event data, a second command that causes the first media session execution component to process at least a portion of the first event data using the media session data that has been stored by the first media session execution component since initiation of the media session.
