SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING GROUPCAST MEDIA STREAMING USING METRIC INFORMATION IN DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18087376 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING GROUPCAST MEDIA STREAMING USING METRIC INFORMATION IN DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

The patent application describes systems and methods for enhancing communication between computing devices through the use of a sidelink channel.

  • A content item is received at a first computing device, which then establishes a sidelink channel with a second computing device.
  • The first computing device transmits a portion of the content item to the second computing device via the sidelink channel.
  • Feedback is generated at the second computing device based on the condition of the sidelink channel, and this feedback is sent back to the first computing device.
  • An action is identified based on the feedback received, and this action is executed.

Potential Applications: - Improved data transfer between devices - Enhanced real-time communication capabilities - Efficient sharing of large files or multimedia content

Problems Solved: - Addressing communication challenges between computing devices - Optimizing data transmission processes - Enhancing user experience in data sharing and communication

Benefits: - Faster and more reliable data transfer - Real-time feedback for improved communication - Enhanced user experience in multimedia sharing

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Data Transfer Technology for Improved Communication This technology could be utilized in various industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and multimedia content sharing platforms. It can improve data transfer speeds and reliability, leading to better user experiences and increased efficiency in communication processes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve communication between computing devices? This technology enhances communication by establishing a sidelink channel for efficient data transfer and real-time feedback.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology in different industries? This technology can be applied in telecommunications, IoT, and multimedia content sharing platforms to enhance data transfer processes and improve user experiences.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are provided for improving communications between computing devices. A content item is received at a first computing device, and a sidelink channel is initiated between the first computing device and a second computing device. A first portion of the content item is transmitted from the first computing device to the second computing device via the sidelink channel. Feedback is generated, based on a condition of the sidelink channel, at the second computing device, and the feedback is transmitted from the second computing device to the first computing device. An action to perform is identified based on the feedback, and the action is performed.
