Abstract
Adjusting utilization of network bandwidth in a network comprising a media server and a media client is provided. The media client is connected to a display screen, and a video media is streamed from the media server to the media client. Light on at least a portion of the display screen is measured, and an indication of the measured light intensity is sent to the media server. Bits of the streaming video media are then adjusted in accordance with the indication, and the streaming video media with adjusted bits is received by the media client.
Claims36
A method for adjusting utilization of network bandwidth in a network comprising a media server and a media client, the media client being connected to a display screen, wherein a video media is streamed from the media server to the media client, the method comprising:
- measuring a lighting intensity on at least a portion of the display screen;
- sending an indication of the measured lighting intensity to the media server;
- adjusting bits of the streaming video media in accordance with the indication;
- and
- receiving by the media client the streaming video media with the adjusted bits.
A method for adjusting utilization of network bandwidth in a network comprising a media server and a media client, the media client being connected to a display screen, wherein a video media is streamed from the media server to the media client, and wherein in said method the media client performs the steps of:
- measuring a lighting intensity on at least a portion of the display screen;
- sending an indication of the measured lighting intensity to the media server;
- and
- receiving the streaming video media with adjusted bits,
- wherein the bits are adjusted in accordance with the indication.
A method for adjusting utilization of network bandwidth in a network comprising a media server and a media client, the media client being connected to a display screen, wherein a video media is streamed from the media server to the media client, and wherein in said method the media server performs the steps of:
- adjusting bits of the streaming video media in accordance with a received indication,
- wherein the received indication is an indication of a lighting intensity on at least a portion of the display screen, measured and sent by the media client.
A media client for adjusting utilization of network bandwidth in a network comprising a media server and the media client, the media client being connected to a display screen, wherein a video media is streamed from the media server to the media client, the media client comprising processing logic configured to:
- measure a lighting intensity on at least a portion of the display screen;
- send an indication of the measured lighting intensity to the media server;
- and
- receive the streaming video media with adjusted bits,
- wherein the bits are adjusted in accordance with the indication.
A media server for adjusting utilization of network bandwidth in a network comprising the media server and a media client, the media client being connected to a display screen, wherein a video media is streamed from the media server to the media client, the media server comprising processing logic configured to:
- adjust bits of the streaming video media in accordance with a received indication,
- wherein the received indication is an indication of a lighting intensity on at least a portion of the display screen, measured and sent by the media client.
