Abstract
A method of displaying streamed content includes receiving streamed content from a server, decoding the streamed content, outputting the decoded streamed content for display, and estimating a degree of attention of a user on the streamed content, where the decoding step comprises decoding the content to a quality that is dependent upon the estimated degree of attention of the use.
Claims20
A server system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving user feedback related to streamed content displayed on a user terminal;
- determining an encoding process for at least a portion of the streamed content based on the user feedback;
- compressing the streamed content using the determined encoding process, wherein at least one portion of the streamed content is compressed at a different compression quality than another portion of the streamed content;
- and
- transmitting the compressed streamed content to the user terminal.
A method, comprising:
- receiving user feedback related to streamed content displayed on a user terminal;
- determining an encoding process for at least a portion of the streamed content based on the user feedback;
- compressing the streamed content using the determined encoding process, wherein at least one portion of the streamed content is compressed at a different compression quality than another portion of the streamed content;
- and
- transmitting the compressed streamed content to the user terminal.
A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium containing computer program comprising computer executable instructions adapted to cause a computer system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving user feedback related to streamed content displayed on a user terminal;
- determining an encoding process for at least a portion of the streamed content based on the user feedback;
- compressing the streamed content using the determined encoding process, wherein at least one portion of the streamed content is compressed at a different compression quality than another portion of the streamed content;
- and
- transmitting the compressed streamed content to the user terminal.
