Streaming media processing method with metadata for compatibility
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230308497A1) describes a streaming media processing method that involves encoding original media data into an encoded streaming media, adding metadata to the end of a media frame in the encoded streaming media, and encapsulating the padded streaming media into a streaming media packet. The metadata serves as payload data for the media frame and includes an information identifier to distinguish it from the original data.
The method also includes modifying the header of the media frame to add the metadata. Additionally, the patent claims that the method can involve detecting a target object in the original media data or media frame and generating metadata based on the detection result. This metadata can include information such as events, time, location, and direction related to the target object.
The patent also describes a transmitting device that includes a memory, a digital signal processor, a transceiver, and a main processor. The main processor is responsible for encoding the original media data into an encoded streaming media, adding metadata to the end of a media frame in the encoded streaming media, and encapsulating the padded streaming media into a streaming media packet. The metadata includes an information identifier to distinguish it from the original data.
The transmitting device can also modify the header of the media frame to add the metadata and detect a target object in the original media data or media frame to generate corresponding metadata.
Furthermore, the patent describes a receiving device that includes a memory, a transceiver, and a main processor. The main processor is responsible for receiving a streaming media packet through a network, obtaining the padded streaming media from the packet, and extracting metadata from the end of a media frame in the padded streaming media. The metadata serves as payload data for the media frame, and the original data of the frame is generated by encoding the original media data.
The receiving device can also look up an information identifier in the media frame to distinguish the original data from the metadata and separate the metadata from the padded streaming media to restore the encoded streaming media for playback. The metadata can be provided according to the corresponding media frame during playback.
In summary, the patent describes a streaming media processing method and devices for encoding, adding metadata, encapsulating, and decoding streaming media. The method includes the detection of target objects and the generation of metadata based on the detection results. The devices described in the patent are capable of performing these operations and facilitating the transmission and reception of streaming media.
