ENCODING METHOD, REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514741 titled 'ENCODING METHOD, REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The encoding method described in the abstract involves pre-encoding a current video frame in a video stream to determine if it is a scene switching frame, and then encoding it into either an I frame or a P frame based on this determination.

  • Pre-encoding a current video frame in a video stream
  • Determining if the current video frame is a scene switching frame
  • Encoding the current video frame into an I frame if it is a scene switching frame, and into a P frame if it is not

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video streaming services, video surveillance systems, video editing software, and video conferencing platforms.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently encoding video frames by identifying scene changes and adjusting the encoding process accordingly, leading to better video quality and reduced bandwidth usage.

Benefits

- Improved video quality - Reduced bandwidth usage - Efficient encoding process

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Video Encoding for Scene Changes

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of scene detection algorithms in video processing to identify scene changes for better encoding strategies.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle complex scene changes with multiple objects moving at once?

The abstract does not provide details on how the method handles complex scene changes with multiple objects moving simultaneously.

What impact does this method have on the overall video streaming performance?

The abstract does not mention the potential impact of this method on the overall video streaming performance in terms of speed or latency.


Original Abstract Submitted

An encoding method includes pre-encoding a current video frame in a video stream, to obtain a pre-encoded current video frame, when there is no I frame in M encoded video frames that have been encoded before the current video frame, determining whether the current video frame is a scene switching frame in which scene switching has occurred relative to a previous video frame, based on the pre-encoded current video frame and a pre-encoded previous video frame to the current video frame, M being a preset positive integer, and encoding the current video frame into an I frame when the current video frame is the scene switching frame, and encoding the current video frame into a P frame when the current video frame is not the scene switching frame.
