ELECTRONIC APPARATUS SUPPORTING STREAMING AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187505 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS SUPPORTING STREAMING AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic apparatus that obtains metadata and a streaming URI corresponding to content from a server, transmits this information to a client apparatus, and can switch to a different server in case of streaming errors.
- The electronic apparatus includes a memory to store instructions and a processor to execute these instructions.
- The processor obtains metadata and a streaming URI from a content providing server.
- The apparatus transmits this information to a client apparatus for streaming content.
- In case of a streaming error from the first server, a signal is sent to an external server to switch to a second server for streaming.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in streaming services, online video platforms, and content delivery networks to improve streaming reliability and performance.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of streaming errors and interruptions by seamlessly switching to an alternative server for uninterrupted content delivery.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced user experience, reduced buffering times, and improved overall streaming performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include streaming platforms, online gaming services, and live event streaming providers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of load balancing techniques in content delivery networks to optimize server performance and reliability.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus determine when to switch to a different server in case of a streaming error?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the criteria or algorithms used to decide when to switch to a different server for streaming content.
What measures are in place to ensure a seamless transition between servers during streaming?
The patent application does not elaborate on the mechanisms or protocols employed to ensure a smooth transition between servers without disrupting the streaming experience for the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic apparatus including a memory configured to store at least one instruction, and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to obtain metadata corresponding to a content providing channel and a streaming uniform resource identifier (uri) corresponding to streaming of content from a content providing server, transmit the metadata and the streaming uri to a client apparatus, and based on a streaming error of a first server being occurred while the client apparatus streams the content from the first server using the streaming uri, transmit, to an external server, a signal corresponding to a request for mapping a second server to the streaming uri so that the client apparatus streams from the second server.
