Communication System, Communication Method, Server, Client Terminal, and Program - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18283409 titled 'Communication System, Communication Method, Server, Client Terminal, and Program

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication system where a server-side system and a client-side system are connected via a network. The server-side system includes components such as an information reception unit, a video processing unit, a chunking function unit, a chunk loss determination unit, and a transmission control unit.

  • Information reception unit receives input information packet from client-side system.
  • Video processing unit generates video data.
  • Chunking function unit divides video data into chunks and assigns numbers to each chunk.
  • Chunk loss determination unit calculates chunk loss rate and determines transmission interval.
  • Transmission control unit sends chunked video data to client-side system.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video streaming services, video conferencing platforms, and remote surveillance systems.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient transmission of video data over a network. 2. Real-time adjustment of transmission intervals based on chunk loss rate.

Benefits

1. Improved video quality and reliability. 2. Reduced latency in video transmission. 3. Enhanced user experience in video communication.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing video streaming services for better performance and user satisfaction.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in video streaming technologies and network communication protocols may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the chunk loss determination unit calculate the chunk loss rate?

The abstract mentions that the chunk loss determination unit calculates the chunk loss rate, but it does not detail the specific method or algorithm used for this calculation.

What network protocols are supported by the transmission control unit for sending chunked video data?

The abstract does not specify which network protocols are utilized by the transmission control unit to transmit the chunked video data to the client-side system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system in which a server-side system and a client-side system are communicably connected via a network, the server-side system including: an information reception unit that receives an input information packet including input information and loss chunk numbers from the client-side system; a video processing unit that generates video data; a chunking function unit that chunks the video data and assigns a number to each chunk; a chunk loss determination unit that calculates a chunk loss rate and determines a transmission interval on the basis of a transmission interval determination logic; and a transmission control unit that transmits the chunked video data to the client-side system.
