Application: Packet replacement during poor network connectivity or network congestion (Patent ID: US20240214441A1)
The patent filed by Zoom Video Communications Inc. describes a method and system for generating a continuous audio stream during network connectivity issues in a real-time communication session. The server detects missing packets in the audio stream from a user device, obtains recorded portions of audio corresponding to the missing packets, and combines them to create a continuous audio stream without missing data. This stream is then transmitted to other user devices in the session. The system also includes features such as generating synthesized words based on missing words, using machine learning models for synthesis, converting speech data to text data, and embedding text data in the audio stream.
The method and system outlined in the patent aim to improve the audio quality and continuity of real-time communication sessions, particularly in scenarios of poor network connectivity or congestion. By detecting missing packets and synthesizing words to fill the gaps, the system ensures a seamless audio experience for all participants. Additionally, the incorporation of machine learning models for word synthesis and text data conversion enhances the overall efficiency and accuracy of the process. The patent also highlights the storage of audio streams in buffers, the correlation of synthesized words with missing packets, and the insertion of missing words into respective timeslots based on sequence numbers, further optimizing the audio transmission process.
