Abstract
A system and method is provided for dynamically adjusting one or more characteristics of a multimedia transmission between a content provider and a content recipient. In one embodiment, the system responds to a change in available bandwidth between the content provider and the content recipient.
Claims20
A method of dynamically adjusting a multimedia transmission between a content provider and a content recipient, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a change in an available bandwidth between the content provider and the content recipient during an established multimedia transmission of a multimedia stream that occurs at a video resolution level, and an audio compression level;
- determining, based on the change in the available bandwidth, an adjustment to at least of:
- the video resolution level or the audio compression level of the multimedia stream;
- and
- coordinating, via a server, the adjustment in the multimedia stream between the content provider and the content recipient in the established multimedia transmission.
A non-transistory computer-readable medium that stores a program for controlling a device to perform a method of dynamically adjusting a multimedia transmission between a content provider and a content recipient, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a change in an available bandwidth between the content provider and the content recipient during an established multimedia transmission of a multimedia stream that occurs at a video resolution level, and an audio compression level;
- determining, based on the change in the available bandwidth, an adjustment to at least of:
- the video resolution level or the audio compression level of the multimedia stream;
- and
- coordinating, via a server, the adjustment in the multimedia stream between the content provider and the content recipient in the established multimedia transmission.
A server for performing a method of dynamically adjusting a multimedia transmission between a content provider and a content recipient, comprising:
- the server configured to:
- receive an indication of a change in an available bandwidth between the content provider and the content recipient during an established multimedia transmission of a multimedia stream that occurs at a video resolution level, and an audio compression level;
- determine, based on the change in the available bandwidth, an adjustment to at least of:
- the video resolution level or the audio compression level of the multimedia stream;
- and
- coordinate the adjustment in the multimedia stream between the content provider and the content recipient in the established multimedia transmission.
