Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for conserving bandwidth. If a presence of a multimedia device is detected, then a stream of data is delivered to the multimedia device. If the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, then the stream of data is degraded to conserve bandwidth.
Claims20
A method to conserve bandwidth, comprising the steps of:
- if a presence of a multimedia device is detected, then delivering a stream of data to the multimedia device;
- and
- if the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, then degrading the stream of data to conserve bandwidth.
A device, comprising:
- a processor communicating with means for detecting presence of a multimedia device;
- the processor commanding delivery of a stream of data to the multimedia device, and if the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, then the processor degrades the stream of data to conserve bandwidth.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium;
- and
- a presence detection application stored on the computer-readable medium, the presence detection application comprising computer code for performing the steps:
- if a presence of a multimedia device is detected, then delivering a stream of data to the multimedia device;
- and
- if the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, then degrading the stream of data to conserve bandwidth.
