Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for predicting a user field-of-view change and determining transmission regions of immersive video (IV) content for an IV device are presented. A field-of-view change of a user device may be predicted. A transmission region in one or more video frames of the IV content may be determined based on the predicted change.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a display area of a user device displaying video content comprising a plurality of video frames, wherein each of the plurality of video frames comprises an image area greater than the display area;
- determining, based on one or more video frames of the plurality of video frames, a predicted change to the display area;
- determining, based on the predicted change to the display area, a subarea of the image area of an upcoming video frame of the plurality of video frames, wherein the subarea is greater than the display area and less than the image area of the upcoming video frame;
- and
- sending, to the user device, the subarea of the upcoming video frame.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device and based on an upcoming video frame of a plurality of video frames of video content, an object located outside of a display area associated with a user device, wherein each of the plurality of video frames comprises an image area greater than the display area;
- changing, based on a location of the object relative to the display area, a size of a subarea of the image area of the upcoming video frame, wherein the subarea is greater than the display area and less than the image area of the upcoming video frame;
- and
- sending, by the computing device and to the user device, the subarea of the upcoming video frame.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a field-of-view (FOV) of a user device displaying video content comprising a plurality of video frames, wherein the FOV of the user device is associated with a display area of the user device, and wherein each of the plurality of video frames comprises an image area greater than the display area;
- determining, by the computing device, a previous change to the FOV;
- determining, by the computing device and based on the previous change to the FOV, a subarea of the image area of an upcoming video frame of the plurality of video frames, wherein the subarea is greater than the display area and less than the image area of the upcoming video frame;
- and
- sending, by the computing device and to the user device, the subarea of the upcoming video frame.
