Abstract
A multimedia flow marking device. The device is configured to perform acts including: after receiving a multimedia flow generated by a computer application executed by the device, identifying the computer application by using an application identifier; consulting a database indicating which computer applications should be subjected to a marking and what the computer application/marking value pairs are; and packaging the multimedia flow in the form of data packets marked as a result. Application for web browsers for personal computers, and operating systems for mobile terminals or connected objects.
Claims11
A multimedia stream marking device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the multimedia stream marking device to perform acts comprising:
- subsequently to receiving a multimedia stream generated by a computer application executed by said device, identifying said computer application by using an application identifier,
- consulting a database indicating which computer applications are the ones that must form the subject of a marking and which are computer application/marking value pairs, and
- conditioning the multimedia stream in the form of data packets marked accordingly.
A system for hierarchizing computer applications which are implemented by a group of users, comprising:
- a multimedia stream marking device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the multimedia stream marking device to perform acts comprising:
- subsequently to receiving a multimedia stream generated by a computer application executed by said device, identifying said computer application by using an application identifier,
- consulting a database indicating which computer applications are the ones that must form the subject of a marking and which are computer application/marking value pairs, and
- conditioning the multimedia stream in the form of data packets marked accordingly, and
- at least one router able to take said marking into account so as to apply to multimedia streams traveling through said router service levels differentiated as a function of the computer applications generating these multimedia streams.
A non-transitory, irremovable, or partially or totally removable computer-readable medium for storing data, comprising computer program code instructions for managing operation of a multimedia stream marking device when executed by a processor of the device, wherein the instructions configure the device to:
- subsequently to receiving a multimedia stream generated by a computer application executed by said device, identifying said computer application by using an application identifier,
- consulting a database indicating which computer applications are the ones that must form the subject of a marking and which are computer application/marking value pairs, and
- conditioning the multimedia stream in the form of data packets marked accordingly.
(canceled)
A multimedia stream marking method, comprising:
- receiving a multimedia stream generated by a computer application executed by a multimedia stream marking device,
- identifying said computer application by using an application identifier,
- consulting a database indicating which applications are the ones that must form the subject of a marking, and which are the computer application/marking value pairs, and
- conditioning of the multimedia stream by said multimedia stream marking device in the form of data packets marked accordingly.
