Abstract
At least one data stream associated with an event is received. Compressing the data stream generates a first signal. A second signal is generated based on a difference between the data stream and the first signal. The second signal is compressed according to a measure of compression quality. The first signal and the second signal are transmitted.
Claims28
A method for presenting streaming media, said method comprising:
- receiving at least one data stream associated with an event;
- generating a first signal by compressing said data stream and a second signal based on a difference between said data stream and said first signal;
- compressing said second signal according to a measure of compression quality;
- transmitting said first signal and said second signal.
A method for presenting streaming media, said method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of data stream associated with an event;
- generating a plurality of first signals by compressing at least two data stream of said plurality of data streams and a plurality of second signal based on a difference between said plurality of data streams and said plurality of first signals;
- determining a selected second signal of said plurality of second signals based on stream selection information;
- compressing said selected second signal according to a measure of compression quality;
- transmitting said plurality of first signals, said selected second signal, and said stream selection information.
An electronic device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive at least one data stream associated with an event;
- a first compressor configured to generate a compressed signal based on said data stream and a differential signal based on a difference between said data stream and said compressed signal;
- a second compressor for compressing said differential signal according to a measure of compression quality;
- and
- a transmitter for transmitting said compressed signal and said differential signal.
A method for selectively rendering streaming media, said method comprising:
- receiving a first signal associated with an event and a second signal associated with said event, wherein said first signal is generated by compressing a data stream and said second signal is generated based on a difference between said first signal and said data stream;
- generating a high quality signal by adding said first signal and said second signal;
- receiving a user request;
- provided said user request is for rendering a low quality signal, rendering said first signal;
- and
- provided said user request is for rendering a high quality signal, rendering said high quality signal.
An electronic device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a first signal associated with an event and a second signal associated with said event, wherein said first signal is generated by compressing a data stream and said second signal is generated based on a difference between said first signal and said data stream;
- a signal adder configured to add said first signal and said second signal to generate a high quality signal;
- a signal selector configured to render a signal based on a user request, wherein said first signal is rendered in response to said user request for a low quality signal and wherein said high quality signal is rendered in response to said user request for said high quality signal;
- and
- an audio/video device for rendering said signal in response to said user request.
