SEGMENT TYPES AS DELIMITERS AND ADDRESSABLE RESOURCE IDENTIFIERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18326701 Titled 'SEGMENT TYPES AS DELIMITERS AND ADDRESSABLE RESOURCE IDENTIFIERS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that can process media data in a specific format called Common Media Application Format (CMAF). The device is able to analyze the bitstream containing the media data and identify the file type (FTYP) value for a CMAF track file. It then detects the CMAF header, which starts with the FTYP value, and processes the CMAF fragments that follow the header. The device can also detect segment type (STYP) values in the bitstream, determine the start of each CMAF fragment based on these values, and process each fragment accordingly.

Original Abstract Submitted

An example device for processing media data is configured to parse a bitstream including the media data, the bitstream being formatted according to Common Media Application Format (CMAF), detect, during the parsing, a file type (FTYP) value for a CMAF track file of the bitstream, determine that a CMAF header of the CMAF track file starts with the FTYP value, and process one or more CMAF fragments following the CMAF header of the CMAF track file. The device may additionally be configured to detect one or more segment type (STYP) values in the bitstream, determine that each of the one or more STYP values corresponds to a start of a respective one of the CMAF fragments, and process each of the CMAF fragments starting from the corresponding STYP value.
