Application: 360-degree video delivery over next generation network (Patent ID: US20230421863A1)

The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. discloses systems, methods, and instrumentalities for 360-degree video streaming. The invention involves a video streaming device receiving a 360-degree video stream from a network node, determining a viewport associated with the device and/or the stream, and requesting segments of the video stream based on priority order. The device generates an anticipated requests message indicating the relative priority order of the segments and sends it to the network node. The network device, as claimed, includes a processor configured to handle anticipated requests messages from streaming clients, accepted alternatives messages, and absolute deadline messages related to the availability of video segments for streaming clients. The method implemented by the network device involves receiving anticipated requests messages, handling accepted alternatives messages, and sending delivered alternative messages in response, all in the context of dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH).

The patent focuses on optimizing the streaming experience for users by efficiently requesting and delivering video segments based on priority, alternatives, and deadlines. The network device described in the claims is equipped to handle messages related to segment requests, alternative options, and time constraints, ensuring a smooth streaming experience for users. The method outlined in the patent involves receiving and responding to messages from streaming clients in a DASH environment, considering factors such as priority, quality, and location relative to the viewport. By partitioning video streams into tiles and managing segment requests based on priority order, the invention aims to enhance the delivery of 360-degree video content to users in a seamless and efficient manner.
