REAL TIME REWIND PLAYBACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305858 titled 'REAL TIME REWIND PLAYBACK
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a media player that allows for real-time rewind playback of a media file by caching and rendering segments of frames one at a time.
- The media player caches and renders the last segment of the played media file on a device, such as a mobile device.
- It then caches and renders the previous segment, and continues this process until all segments of the media file have been cached and rendered.
- Only one segment of the media file is cached at a time, enabling the media file to be replayed on the fly.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Real-time rewind playback of media files.
- Caching and rendering of segments of frames one at a time.
- Efficient use of device resources by caching only one segment at a time.
Potential Applications:
- Video streaming services.
- Video editing software.
- Gaming applications.
Problems Solved:
- Allows for seamless rewind playback of media files.
- Reduces the need to cache the entire media file at once.
- Improves user experience by enabling on-the-fly replay.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience.
- Efficient use of device resources.
- Seamless rewind playback functionality.
Commercial Applications:
- Video streaming platforms.
- Video editing software companies.
- Gaming industry.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on real-time media playback and caching techniques.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in real-time media playback and caching technologies to enhance the efficiency and performance of the media player.
Questions about Media Player with Real-Time Rewind Playback: 1. How does the media player ensure smooth transition between cached segments during rewind playback? 2. What are the potential limitations of caching and rendering segments of frames one at a time in terms of playback quality and performance?
Original Abstract Submitted
a media player providing real time rewind playback of a played media file having segments of frames. a last segment n of the played media file is cached and rendered on a device, such as a mobile device, then a previous segment n−1 is cached and rendered, and the process continues until there are no more segments of the played media file to cache and render. only a segment of the played media file is cached at a time, rather than the whole media file, such that the played media file can be replayed on the fly.
