Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for monitoring audio-video (AV) streams transported over a network. The system may include an AV probe deployed between an AV tuner and AV destination customer premise equipment. The AV probe may receive an incoming AV stream. The AV probe may generate a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream. The AV probe may transmit, substantially in real-time, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine and the incoming AV stream to the AV destination customer premise equipment.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by an AV probe deployed between an AV tuner and AV destination customer premise equipment, an incoming AV stream;
- generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, substantially in real-time the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine and the incoming AV stream to the AV destination customer premise equipment;
- capturing, by the AV probe, user data;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, the user data to the monitoring engine;
- and
- generating a visual representation by transforming the captured user data to include a mosaic view that shows one of simultaneous thumbnail views for multiple AV probes and sequential thumbnails views from the AV probe.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an AV probe deployed between an AV tuner and AV destination customer premise equipment, an incoming AV stream;
- generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, substantially in real-time the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine and the incoming AV stream to the AV destination customer premise equipment;
- capturing, by the AV probe, user data;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, the user data to the monitoring engine;
- and
- generating a visual representation by transforming the captured user data to include a mosaic view that shows one of simultaneous thumbnail views for multiple AV probes and sequential thumbnails views from the AV probe.
A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an AV probe deployed between an AV tuner and AV destination customer premise equipment, an incoming AV stream;
- generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, substantially in real-time the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine and the incoming AV stream to the AV destination customer premise equipment;
- capturing, by the AV probe, user data;
- transmitting, by the AV probe, the user data to the monitoring engine;
- and
- generating a visual representation by transforming the captured user data to include a mosaic view that shows one of simultaneous thumbnail views for multiple AV probes and sequential thumbnails views from the AV probe.
