Abstract
One aspect of the invention pertains to a method for adjusting a rendering speed for media that is received over a network at a receiving device. The latency for the received media is determined. Based on the latency, a consumption speed is determined. The media is then rendered at the determined consumption speed.
Claims33
A method for adjusting a rendering speed for media that is being progressively received, stored and rendered, the method comprising:
- receiving media over a network at a receiving device;
- determining a latency for the received media;
- based on the latency, determining a consumption speed at which to render the media;
- and
- rendering the media at the determined consumption speed.
A receiving device that is arranged to receive media and render the media at different speeds depending on latency, the receiving device comprising:
- a storage system that is arranged to store the media;
- a storage writer that is arranged to receive the media over a network and write the media to the storage system;
- a render consumption speed determination module that is arranged to determine a latency for the received media and, based on the latency, to determine a consumption speed at which to render the media;
- and
- a storage reader that is arranged to render the media at the determined consumption speed.
A computer code embedded in a non-transitory computer readable medium and intended to run on a receiving device connected to a network, the computer code configured to:
- receive media over a network at a receiving device;
- determine a latency for the received media;
- based on the latency, determine a consumption speed at which to render the media;
- and
- render the media at the determined consumption speed.
