Abstract
Methods and systems for saving resources when outputting a media asset such as a video are provided. The media asset is split into a first portion with a first importance and a second portion with the second importance. The first portion is displayed with a first set of output parameters (e.g., resolution, bit rate, frame rate, display size) and the second portion is displayed with a second set of output parameters that correspond to a lower quality than the first set of output parameters (e.g., a lower resolution, a lower bit rate, a lower frame rate, a lower display size).
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, a media asset;
- identifying a category of the media asset;
- activating, based on the category of the media asset, a first viewing mode;
- selecting, based on the first viewing mode, a first set of output parameters;
- outputting, with the first set of output parameters, the media asset for display;
- receiving, at the computing device, an energy saving parameter;
- activating, based on the category of the media asset and the energy saving parameter, a second viewing mode at the computing device,
- selecting, based on the second viewing mode, a second set of output parameters, wherein a parameter of the second set of output parameters is reduced compared to a corresponding parameter of the first set of parameters;
- and
- outputting, with the second set of output parameters, the media asset for display.
A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive, at a computing device, a media asset;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- identify a category of the media asset;
- activate, based on the category of the media asset, a first viewing mode;
- select, based on the first viewing mode, a first set of output parameters;
- output, with the first set of output parameters, the media asset for display;
- receive, at the computing device, an energy saving parameter;
- activate, based on the category of the media asset and the energy saving parameter, a second viewing mode at the computing device,
- select, based on the second viewing mode, a second set of output parameters, wherein a parameter of the second set of output parameters is reduced compared to a corresponding parameter of the first set of parameters;
- and
- output, with the second set of output parameters, the media asset for display.
