Personalized sensitivity measurements and playback factors for adaptive and personalized media coding and delivery

An electronic computing device comprising:

• a first playback device including a display, wherein the display is configured to output media to a first user;
• and
• one or more electronic processors communicatively coupled to the display, the one or more electronic processors configured to
• output, with the first playback device and during a first test measurement session, first test media to be viewed by the first user,
• receive a first user input from the first user, wherein the first user input is related to a first perception of the first test media by the first user and indicates a first personalized quality of experience of the first user with respect to the first test media,
• generate a first personalized sensitivity profile including one or more viewing characteristics of the first user based on the first user input,
• determine, based at least in part on the first personalized sensitivity profile, a first media parameter, wherein the first media parameter is determined in order to increase an efficiency of media delivery to the first playback device over a network while preserving the first personalized quality of experience of the first user, and
• provide, over the network, first output media to the first playback device in accordance with the first media parameter, wherein the first output media is configured to be output with the first playback device.

A method for displaying a hybrid image on a playback device, the method comprising:

• determining, with one or more electronic processors of an electronic computing device, a first value of a media parameter supported by a media server and a network configured to stream media;
• determining, with the one or more electronic processors, a second value of the media parameter supported by the media server and the network;
• at least one of generating and selecting, with the one or more electronic processors, the hybrid image based on the first value of the media parameter and the second value of the media parameter such that the hybrid image includes a first interpretation corresponding to the first value of the media parameter and a second interpretation corresponding to the second value of the media parameter;
• and
• displaying, on a display of the playback device, the hybrid image.
