==MINIMIZING INITIALIZATION DELAY IN LIVE STREAMING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048798 titled 'MINIMIZING INITIALIZATION DELAY IN LIVE STREAMING

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for processing media data in a live streaming service. Here are the key points:

* The method involves identifying a tuning-in media segment in a media presentation description (mpd) of the live streaming service.
* The tuning-in media segment contains the latest media data that a client device should start with when tuning into the live stream.
* The latest media data is selected either from the current media segment being generated by the live streaming service or from a previous media segment.
* The selection is based on the length of the current media segment.
* The mpd is stored by the client device before tuning into the live streaming service.
* The method also includes performing a conversion between visual media data and a bitstream according to the mpd.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Live streaming services: This method can be used to improve the tuning-in experience for users of live streaming services by ensuring they start with the latest media data.
* Media players: The method can be implemented in media players to enhance their ability to handle live streaming content.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Seamless tuning-in: The method solves the problem of users joining a live stream in progress by providing them with the latest media data to start with, regardless of when they tune in.
* Efficient media processing: By selecting the latest media data based on the length of the current media segment, the method optimizes the processing and delivery of media content in live streaming services.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved user experience: Users can start watching a live stream without missing any important content, as they begin with the latest media data.
* Reduced buffering time: By starting with the latest media data, users experience less buffering time when tuning into a live stream.
* Efficient resource utilization: The method optimizes the use of network and server resources by selecting the appropriate media data based on the length of the current media segment.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a method for processing media data includes identifying in a media presentation description (mpd) an indication of a tuning-in media segment. the tuning-in media segment comprises a latest media data for a client device to start with when tuning into an ongoing live streaming service. the latest media data is selected from either a current media segment that is being generated by the ongoing live streaming service or a previous media segment generated by the ongoing live streaming service based on a length of the current media segment. the mpd is stored by the client device prior to the client device tuning into the ongoing live streaming service. the method further includes performing a conversion between a visual media data and a bitstream according to the mpd.
