Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors Chen, Cheng (Milpitas, CA, US); Felder, Kyrah (Kennesaw, GA, US); Gadde, Akshay (Fremont, CA, US); Lin, Ya o-Chung (Sunnyvale, CA, US); Pang, Ching Yin Derek (San Jose, CA, US); Wilkins, Paul (Cambridge, GB), filed on January 3, 2024, was made available online on Apr il 25, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “A platform (e.g., a content sharing platform) can transmit (e.g., stream) media items to client devices connected to the platform via a ne twork. The platform can encode audio signals and/or video signals associated wit h a media item using an encoder (e.g., a codec) while or before the media item i s transmitted to a client device (e.g., to reduce the amount of data transmitted via the network, etc.). The client device can decode the received audio signals and/or video signals using a decoder before the media item is provided to a use r associated with the client device (e.g., via a UI of the client device). One o r more encoder parameter settings applied to the encoder can impact an amount of network bandwidth that is consumed by the transmitted encoded audio signals and /or encoded video signals, a network speed associated with transmitting the enco ded audio signals and/or encoded video signals, and/or a quality of media item p layback via the client device that receives the encoded audio signals and/or enc oded video signals.”
