Abstract
In one aspect, a method related to data management. In addition, other method, system, and program product aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and/or text forming a part of the present application.
Claims37
A system related to data management, the system comprising:
- circuitry for accepting input for designating a video/audio aspect of a video/audio data stream;
- circuitry for accepting input for retaining the video/audio aspect of the video/audio data stream at a first resolution;
- circuitry for accepting input for degrading a residue of the video/audio data stream to a second resolution less than the first resolution, if a condition is met;
- and
- circuitry for degrading the residue of the video/audio data stream to the second resolution, if the condition is met, wherein the second resolution is determined at least partially as a function of a distance in the video/audio data stream between at least a part of the video/audio aspect and at least a part of the residue.
2 more elements
One or more non-transitory media bearing one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, perform a method comprising:
- accepting input for designating a video/audio aspect of a video/audio data stream;
- accepting input for retaining the video/audio aspect of the video/audio data stream at a first resolution;
- accepting input for degrading a residue of the video/audio data stream to a second resolution less than the first resolution, if a condition is met;
- and
- degrading the residue of the video/audio data stream to the second resolution, if the condition is met, wherein the second resolution is determined at least partially as a function of a distance in the video/audio data stream between at least a part of the video/audio aspect and at least a part of the residue.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- retaining a designated portion of a video/audio aspect of a video/audio data stream at a first resolution;
- managing at least one memory relative to the first resolution;
- accepting input for degrading a residue of the video/audio data stream to a second resolution less than the first resolution, if a condition is met;
- and
- degrading the residue of the video/audio data stream to the second resolution, if the condition is met, wherein the second resolution is determined at least partially as a function of a distance in the video/audio data stream between at least a part of the video/audio aspect and at least a part of the residue.
