METHOD AND IMAGE-CAPTURING DEVICE FOR ENCODING IMAGE FRAMES OF AN IMAGE STREAM AND TRANSMITTING ENCODED IMAGE FRAMES ON A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015307 titled 'METHOD AND IMAGE-CAPTURING DEVICE FOR ENCODING IMAGE FRAMES OF AN IMAGE STREAM AND TRANSMITTING ENCODED IMAGE FRAMES ON A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for encoding and transmitting image frames over a communications network. The method involves dividing an image frame into multiple slices and prioritizing them. The method then generates and transmits encoded image frames with encoded slices and skip blocks.
- The method divides image frames into slices based on slice parameters.
- The slices are prioritized.
- The method generates a first encoded image frame with first encoded slices, second encoded slices, and first skip blocks.
- The method generates and transmits a second encoded image frame with further second encoded slices and further first encoded slices with more second skip blocks.
Potential Applications:
- Video streaming services
- Video conferencing systems
- Security surveillance systems
Problems Solved:
- Efficient encoding and transmission of image frames over a network
- Prioritization of image slices for improved quality and performance
Benefits:
- Reduced bandwidth usage for transmitting image frames
- Improved image quality and performance
- Faster transmission of image frames over a network
Original Abstract Submitted
a method encodes image frames of an image stream and transmits encoded image frames on a communications network. the method includes receiving and then dividing an image frame into multiple slices defined by first slice parameters and second slice parameters. the method also includes prioritizing the multiple slices and then generating a first encoded image frame having first encoded slices, second encoded slices and one or more first skip blocks. the method then generates and transmits a second encoded image frame having further second encoded slices defined by the second slice parameters and based on encoding second slices and further first encoded slices defined by the first slice parameters with more second skip blocks.
