Abstract
A method includes receiving a media request for a target device. The signaling information may be received from the target device and a media server. At least one attribute of the target device and the media server may be identified using the signaling information. At least one attribute of the target device and the media server may be evaluated against a service level objective to select a media format. The service level objective may include consideration of the target device and available bandwidth over a provider network. The media may be provided in the selected media format over the provider network to the target device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a mediation agent device comprising a processing system including a processor and configured to receive target device information from a target device, a media request from the target device, the target device being one of a plurality of target device types associated with a media server through the mediation agent device, wherein the target device information comprises a media resolution used by the target device for presenting media content, and a packet impairment characteristic for delivering media content from the media server over a provider network;
- evaluating, by the mediation agent device, a first attribute of the target device and a second attribute of the media server against a service level objective, wherein the service level objective includes presenting the media content at the target device within a predetermined time period at a presentation quality at the target device that conforms to the media resolution used by the target device;
- adapting, by the mediation agent device, the media content from the media server into a media format for delivering media content to the target device according to the evaluation;
- and
- providing, by the mediation agent device, the media content in the media format over the provider network to the target device.

A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- exchanging target device information between a target device and a media server, the target device being one of a plurality of target device types associated with the media server, wherein the comprises a media resolution used by the target device for presenting media content and a packet impairment characteristic for delivering media content over a provider network;
- identifying a first attribute of the target device and a second attribute of the media server according to the target device information;
- evaluating the first attribute of the target device and second attribute against a service level objective, wherein the service level objective includes a consideration of presenting the media over the provider network within a predetermined time period at a presentation quality at the target device that conforms to the media resolution used by the target device;
- receiving a selected media format for delivering media content to the target device according to the evaluation;
- receiving adapted media content in the media format from the media server, wherein the media server transcodes the media content into the selected media format as the adapted media content;
- and
- providing the adapted media content in the selected media format to the target device.

A system, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving a media request from a target device, the target device being one of a plurality of target device types;
- exchanging target device information between the target device and a media server, wherein the target device information comprises a media resolution used by the target device for presenting media content, and a packet impairment characteristic for delivering media content from the media server over a provider network;
- evaluating a first attribute of the target device and a second attribute of the media server against a service level objective, wherein the service level objective includes a consideration of receiving media content over the provider network within a predetermined time period at a presentation quality at the target device that conforms to the media resolution used by the target device;
- requesting the media content from the media server in a selected media format according to the evaluation;
- receiving media content in the selected media format from the media server over the provider network, wherein the media server transcodes the media content into the selected media format;
- and
- providing the media content over the provider network to the target device.
