Abstract
Transmitting data over a network takes place and parameters indicating network conditions vary during the transmission. A first station identifies at least one of these parameters. The first station then adjusts the nature of the transmitted data in response to the parameter(s). Examples of network condition parameters are the rate at which data is transmitted, the amount of data in an output buffer or the connection latency of the network.
Claims20
A method of transmitting data packets over a network wherein parameters indicating network conditions vary during said transmission, comprising the steps of
- identifying at least one of said network condition parameters;
- and
- adjusting the type of information conveyed by the transmitted data packets in response to said identified network condition parameter.
A server for transmitting data packets to at least one terminal over a network, wherein parameters indicating network conditions vary during said transmission and said server is configured to:
- identify at least one of said network condition parameters;
- and
- adjust the type of information conveyed by the transmitted data packets in response to said identified network condition parameter.
Instructions executable by a network of computers and/or programmable data processing devices such that when executing said instructions stations connected to said network will transmit data packets over said network and said network will perform the steps of:
- identifying at least one parameter indicating network conditions;
- and
- adjusting the type of information conveyed by the transmitted data packets in response to said identified network condition parameter.
Instructions executable by a combination of a server and mobile terminal connected to said server by a radio network such that when executing said instructions a computer will perform the steps of
- identifying at least one parameter indicating network conditions;
- and
- adjusting the type of information conveyed by the transmitted data packets in response to said identified network condition parameter.
A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions executable by a computer such that when executing said instructions a computer will perform the steps of:
- transmit packets of data to a networked device;
- identifying at least one parameter indicating network conditions;
- and
- adjusting the type of information conveyed by the transmitted data packets in response to said identified network condition parameter.
