Abstract
A method and medium are provided for ensuring that a video stream communicated from a mobile device is communicated subject to a minimum quality level. A request to communicate a video stream at a minimum quality level from a mobile device is received. Signaling information from the mobile device is processed and utilized to establish a communications pathway from the mobile device to the target device. The communications pathway facilitates the communication of the video stream at the minimum quality level. The video stream is communicated to the target device contemporaneously to receiving the video clip by the mobile device.
Claims17
One or more nontransitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of ensuring that a video stream communicated from a mobile device is communicated subject to a minimum quality level, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from the mobile device to communicate the video stream to a target device at the minimum quality level;
- determining whether the mobile device is authorized to communicate the video stream at the requested minimum quality level by processing signaling information communicated from the mobile device to a policy server;
- when a determination is made that the mobile device is authorized to communicate the video stream at the requested minimum quality level, then reserving resources to facilitate communication of the video stream at the minimum quality level;
- and
- establishing a communications session between the mobile device and the target device, wherein the communications session is associated with the resources reserved to facilitate communication of the video stream at the minimum quality level.
