METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING A PLURALITY OF MULTIMEDIA COMPONENTS, CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298058 titled 'METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING A PLURALITY OF MULTIMEDIA COMPONENTS, CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND DEVICES
The patent application proposes a method for synchronizing multimedia components, such as audio and video, processed by a media player.
- The method involves determining delay data for each multimedia rendering device to account for propagation delays.
- Buffering delays are calculated based on the difference between maximum and minimum delay values.
- The buffering delay is provided to a buffer along the path of the multimedia component with the minimum delay.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in streaming services to ensure synchronized playback of audio and video components. - It can also be applied in video conferencing systems to maintain synchronization between audio and video streams.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of synchronization discrepancies between audio and video components in multimedia playback. - Helps prevent delays and interruptions in multimedia streaming by managing propagation delays effectively.
Benefits: - Improved user experience with seamless synchronization of multimedia components. - Enhanced quality of audio and video playback in digital multimedia systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Synchronized Multimedia Playback Technology for Enhanced User Experience" This technology can be utilized in media streaming platforms, video conferencing systems, and digital signage displays to deliver synchronized and high-quality multimedia content to users.
Questions about Synchronized Multimedia Playback Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the overall user experience in multimedia playback? - This technology ensures that audio and video components are synchronized, providing a seamless viewing and listening experience for users.
2. What are the potential commercial applications of this synchronized multimedia playback technology? - This technology can be applied in various industries such as entertainment, communication, and advertising to deliver synchronized multimedia content effectively.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method is proposed for synchronizing a plurality of multimedia components selected among audio and video components of a digital multimedia processed by a media player. each of the multimedia component is rendered on a multimedia rendering device receiving the multimedia component from the media player through a respective path. the media player is configured to obtain, for each multimedia rendering device, a delay data representative of a propagation delay of the multimedia component from the reception of the multimedia component to its rendering by the multimedia rendering device, determine a buffering delay representative of a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value among the delay data; and provide the buffering delay to at least one buffer implemented along a path of the multimedia component corresponding to the minimum value among the delay data.
