ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137606 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic apparatus that can display content streamed from an external server while optimizing the decoding speed and display output speed based on delay characteristic information received from the server.

  • Communication interface with communication circuitry
  • Display for showing streamed content
  • Memory for storing instructions
  • Processors for controlling the apparatus
  • Control display based on delay characteristic information
  • Identify critical value of stream buffer
  • Adjust decoding speed and display output speed based on critical value and stream buffer state

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in streaming services, video conferencing platforms, and online gaming platforms to optimize the display output and decoding speed based on network conditions.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of buffering and lag in streaming content by dynamically adjusting the decoding speed and display output speed based on the critical value of the stream buffer.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include a smoother streaming experience, reduced buffering times, and improved overall performance of electronic devices when streaming content from external servers.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Optimized Streaming Technology for Enhanced User Experience"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to adaptive streaming technologies that adjust video quality based on network conditions, but this specific approach of optimizing decoding speed and display output speed based on delay characteristic information may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life on electronic devices?

This article does not address the potential impact of adjusting decoding speed and display output speed on the battery life of electronic devices. It would be interesting to know if these optimizations have any effect on power consumption.

Are there any limitations to the types of content that can be streamed using this technology?

The article does not mention any limitations regarding the types of content that can be streamed and optimized using this technology. It would be important to understand if certain types of content or formats may not benefit from these optimizations.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed is an electronic apparatus. the electronic apparatus includes: a communication interface comprising communication circuitry, a display, a memory configured to store at least one instruction, and one or more processors connected to the communication interface, the display, and the memory and configured to control the electronic apparatus, wherein the one or more processors, by executing the at least one instruction, may be configured to: control the display to display content streamed from an external server through the communication interface, based on receiving delay characteristic information corresponding to the streamed content from the external server, identify a critical value of a stream buffer in which the streamed content is stored based on the delay characteristic information, and control at least one of a decoding speed of the content or output speed of the display based on the critical value of the stream buffer and a state of the stream buffer.
