Abstract
A method for transporting real-time audio and video data is provided, wherein a partial encryption method merely encrypts some packets or some segments thereof in the data stream thereby improve the speed of data process and reduce the load of the processor. Especially for audio data, the malicious interceptor cannot hear the audio data clearly although it is merely partially encrypted.
Claims14
A method of partial noise encryption for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising the following steps of:
- setting an encryption field of a header of at least one packets in a data stream;
- and
- encrypting the packets with the encryption field set.
A method of simplifying silence packets for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising the following steps of:
- setting an all-zero field of a header of at least one packet in a data stream;
- eliminating the all-zero payload of the packets;
- and
- setting a payload length field of the headers of the packets for indicating the eliminated silence payload.
A method of establishing multiple channels in a single connection for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising the following steps of:
- setting a type field of a header of at least one packets in a data stream for indicating packets for control, set state and read state;
- and
- differentiating packets based on the type field during transporting the packets.
A method of periodical report on data for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising the following steps of:
- setting a buffer consumption report field of a header of at least one packets in a data stream to for indicating the packets being report packets from a receiving end to a transmitting end, payload of the packets indicating a report time and a consumption amount of the receiving end;
- sending report periodically to the transmitting end;
- and
- the transmitting end computing data stream consumption rate using the equation of (Bn-B1)/(Tn-T1), where B and T are buffer consumption amount and report time of the n-th report packets, respectively.
A method of delayed response for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising a step of delaying response sent from a receiving end to a transmitting end to reduce the probability of packet collision.
A method of last-in-first-connect policy for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising a step of a second transmitting end interrupting an existing connection between a first transmitting end and a receiving end and establishing a new connection between the second transmitting end and the receiving end.
A method of periodical broadcast of discovering response for real-time network transportation of audio and video data, comprising a step of a receiving end periodically broadcasting response to all transmitting ends on the network to inform the transmitting ends of the existence of the receiving end.
