CODEC NEGOTIATION AND SWITCHING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045643 titled 'CODEC NEGOTIATION AND SWITCHING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and system for codec negotiation and switching between an electronic device and an audio play device. Before transmitting audio data, the devices categorize codecs into multiple categories and determine a common codec category supported by both devices. The electronic device then transmits the audio data to the audio play device using a codec from the first category. When a codec switch is required, the electronic device directly transmits the audio data using a codec from the second category without renegotiating with the audio play device. This method resolves the problem of interrupted audio data and stalling during codec switching, improving the user experience.
- The system includes an electronic device and an audio play device.
- Codecs are categorized into multiple categories and a common codec category is determined.
- The electronic device transmits audio data using a codec from the first category.
- Codec switching is performed without renegotiating with the audio play device.
- Audio data is directly transmitted using a codec from the second category.
- Resolves the problem of interrupted audio data and stalling during codec switching.
- Improves user experience.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Audio streaming services
- VoIP applications
- Video conferencing systems
- Online gaming platforms
Problems solved by this technology:
- Interruption and stalling of audio data during codec switching
- Need for renegotiation between devices for codec type
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience with uninterrupted audio playback
- Seamless codec switching without delays or interruptions
Original Abstract Submitted
a codec negotiation and switching method and system, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product are disclosed. the system includes an electronic device () and an audio play device (). before transmitting audio data, the electronic device () and the audio play device () categorize codecs into a plurality of categories, and determine a common codec category, for example, a first category and a second category, supported by the electronic device () and the audio play device (). the electronic device () transmits the audio data to the audio play device () based on a codec of the first category. when the codec needs to be switched, the electronic device () does not need to renegotiate with the audio play device () on a codec type, but directly transmits the audio data based on a codec of the second category. in the method, a problem that audio data is interrupted and stalling occurs during codec switching performed by the electronic device and the audio play device is resolved, and user experience is improved.
