ADAPTIVE AUDIO BITRATE SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333985 titled 'ADAPTIVE AUDIO BITRATE SELECTION
The patent application describes a system for adaptive audio bitrate selection during data streaming requests.
- Receives a data streaming request and streams data at a first audio bitrate.
- Determines if there is a streaming discontinuity associated with the data.
- Checks if network conditions satisfy certain conditions based on streaming parameters.
- Adjusts the audio bitrate to a second bitrate during a streaming discontinuity if conditions are met.
- Continues streaming the data at the second audio bitrate after the discontinuity.
Potential Applications: - Streaming services - Online gaming platforms - Video conferencing applications
Problems Solved: - Ensures smooth audio streaming despite network fluctuations - Improves user experience during data streaming
Benefits: - Enhanced audio quality - Seamless streaming experience - Efficient use of network resources
Commercial Applications: Adaptive audio bitrate selection technology can be utilized by streaming platforms, online gaming companies, and video conferencing services to optimize audio quality based on network conditions, leading to improved user satisfaction and retention.
Questions about Adaptive Audio Bitrate Selection: 1. How does adaptive audio bitrate selection improve the user experience during data streaming? 2. What are the key factors considered when adjusting the audio bitrate during a streaming discontinuity?
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for performing adaptive audio bitrate selection. an example embodiment operates by receiving a data streaming request. the embodiment then streams data at a first audio bitrate. the embodiment then determines whether there is a streaming discontinuity associated with the data. the embodiment then determines, in response to the determination that there is a streaming discontinuity, whether a network condition satisfies one or more conditions based on one or more streaming parameters. the embodiment then, in response to the determination that the network condition satisfies the one or more conditions, adjusts the first audio bitrate to a second audio bitrate during the streaming discontinuity. the embodiment then continues to stream the data, subsequent to the streaming discontinuity, at the second audio bitrate to complete the data streaming request.
