DYNAMIC MEDIA ROUTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18185770 titled 'DYNAMIC MEDIA ROUTER

The patent application describes a method, structure, and computer system for dynamic media routing in virtual conferences.

  • Determining the quality of existing network connections for participants in a virtual conference.
  • Transmitting media stream samples and corresponding checksum values between conference members using alternative network connections.
  • Evaluating the quality of alternative network connections based on the transmitted data.
  • Switching to alternative network connections if their quality is higher than existing connections.
      1. Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in virtual meetings, online webinars, and remote collaboration platforms to optimize media streaming quality.

      1. Problems Solved:

It addresses issues related to network congestion, latency, and bandwidth limitations that can affect the quality of media streams in virtual conferences.

      1. Benefits:

Improved media streaming quality, enhanced user experience, and seamless virtual communication are some of the key benefits of this technology.

      1. Commercial Applications:

Optimizing virtual conferences, enhancing remote collaboration tools, and improving online meeting platforms are potential commercial applications of this technology.

      1. Questions about Dynamic Media Routing:
        1. 1. How does dynamic media routing improve the overall virtual conference experience?

Dynamic media routing ensures that participants experience high-quality media streams by dynamically switching to the best network connections available.

        1. 2. What are the key factors that determine the quality of network connections in virtual conferences?

The quality of network connections is determined by factors such as latency, bandwidth, packet loss, and jitter, which can impact the overall media streaming experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, a structure, and a computer system for dynamic media routing. The exemplary embodiments may include determining a quality of one or more existing network connections corresponding to one or more participants of a virtual conference and transmitting a media stream sample and a corresponding checksum value between the one or more members of the virtual conference using one or more alternative network connections. The exemplary embodiments may further include determining a quality of the one or more alternative network connections based on the media stream sample and the corresponding checksum value, and, based on determining that the quality of the one or more alternative network connections is higher than the quality of the one or more existing network connections, switching the one or more existing network connections to the one or more alternative network connections.
