Prioritizing high artistic interest video segments for streaming
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003794B2) outlines a method and device for streaming video content that prioritizes segments with higher artistic interest values. The method involves determining the proximity of future video segments relative to the current playback position and selecting segments with higher artistic interest values within a specified time window for playback. By requesting these segments ahead of others, the system aims to enhance the viewer's experience by delivering content of greater artistic value promptly.
Furthermore, the patent details the inclusion of base and enhancement layers in video segments, with the device configured to request both layers for segments with higher artistic interest values. This approach ensures a more comprehensive viewing experience by leveraging the layered structure of video content. Additionally, the device is designed to maintain buffer levels above a threshold by requesting segments strategically based on network bandwidth, layer dependency, segment size, and display time. Overall, the patented method and device offer a sophisticated approach to streaming video content, prioritizing artistic value and optimizing the viewing experience for users.
