Abstract
In some embodiments, a method includes formatting, using a video encoding protocol, audio and video data as a media stream. The method may further include verifying a recipient computer system has available memory capacity, and verifying one or more devices residing on the recipient computer system are enabled. The method may further include transmitting the media stream, using a standard Internet protocol, to the recipient computer system in response to verification that the recipient computer system has available memory space and that the one or more devices operating on the second computer system are enabled.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an encoding module, comprising a processor of a machine, to format, using a video encoding protocol, audio and video data as a media stream;
- a decisional module to verify that a recipient computer system has available memory capacity, the recipient computer system being communicatively coupled to the system via a communication network, the decisional module further to verify that one or more devices residing on the recipient computer system are enabled;
- and
- a transmitter module to transmit, over the communication network, the media stream, using a standard Internet protocol, to the recipient computer system in response to verification that the recipient computer system has available memory space and that the one or more devices operating on the second computer system are enabled, the media stream being transmitted as one or more data packets to the recipient computer system utilizing a standardized packet format.
A method comprising:
- formatting, using a video encoding protocol, audio and video data as a media stream;
- verifying a recipient computer system has available memory capacity;
- verifying one or more devices residing on the recipient computer system are enabled;
- and
- transmitting, over a communication network, the media stream, using a standard Internet protocol, to the recipient computer system in response to verification that the recipient computer system has available memory space and that the one or more devices operating on the second computer system are enabled, the media stream being transmitted as one or more data packets to the recipient computer system utilizing a standardized packet format.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions which when executed by a process of the machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- formatting, using a video encoding protocol, audio and video data as a media stream;
- verifying a recipient computer system has available memory capacity;
- verifying one or more devices residing on the recipient computer system are enabled;
- and
- transmitting, over a communication network, the media stream, using a standard Internet protocol, to the recipient computer system in response to verification that the recipient computer system has available memory space and that the one or more devices operating on the second computer system are enabled, the media stream being transmitted as one or more data packets to the recipient computer system utilizing a standardized packet format.
