Abstract:
A system is disclosed for multimedia multipoint real-time conferencing that includes a communication module to receive a request to share media content in a virtual room setting. The content may include an audio, a video, a text, or a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code referencing a third-party resource. The system may further include a content encoder at the host website to create a data packet encapsulating the transport characteristics and the routing requirements and a multipoint router to share the content via the transport protocol in the real-time group conference associated with the users of the virtual room.
Abstract:
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing a slipstream bandwidth management algorithm including, for example, means for executing an application a computing device, in which the application is to communicate with a remote computing device over a public Internet; means for approximating outgoing bandwidth for communications from the computing device to the remote computing device; means for approximating incoming bandwidth for communications received at the computing device from the remote computing device; means for allocating multiple simultaneous Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections in support of the application based at least in part on the approximated outgoing bandwidth and based further on the approximated incoming bandwidth; and means for iteratively adjusting bandwidth communicated for the application between the computing device and the remote computing device based at least in part on latency between the computing device and the remote computing device. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method and system for streaming information associated with a server and a computing system is described. The method may include increasing a packet size used for the streaming of information from a first packet size to a second packet size based on an identified increase in available bandwidth. The method further includes increasing a number of simultaneous connections used for the streaming of information from a first number of simultaneous connections to a second number of simultaneous connections based on the identified increase in available bandwidth in response to a determination that the second packet size equals a maximum packet size for a protocol used for the streaming of the information.
Abstract:
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing a streaming platform IO pump and regulator including, for example, means for executing an application at the computing device; requesting data for the application from a second computing device communicably interfaced with the first computing device via a public Internet; calculating an estimated arrival time for the data to be returned from the second computing device; determining the data fails to arrive within the estimated arrival time calculated; initiating a new connection to the second computing device; and re-sending the request for the data for the application to the second computing device via the new connection. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A media routing server is described. The media routing server may be configured to receive media information from a source computing system. The media routing server may be configured to scale the media information based on characteristics of one or more destination computing systems. Each scaled media information is unique to the characteristics of each destination computing system. The media information may comprise a plurality of objects. Priority information and sequencing information may be assigned to the objects by the media routing server. The media routing server may be configured to transmit the scaled media information to each destination computing system based on at least the priority information and the sequencing information.
Abstract:
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing frame aggregation with screen sharing including, for example, means for receiving, at a server, a stream of delta frames from a publishing client as part of a screen sharing session with one or more viewing clients; establishing a FIFO buffer for each of the respective one or more viewing clients on 1:1 basis; queuing a copy of the stream of delta frames into each of the FIFO buffers corresponding to the one or more viewing clients, wherein the stream of delta frames are transmitted from the respective FIFO buffers to the corresponding one or more client viewers; monitoring each of the respective FIFO buffers for each of the one or more viewing clients to determine if two or more delta frames are concurrently queued in any single one of the respective FIFO buffers at any given time; aggregating the two or more delta frames into a single aggregated delta frame; re-queuing the aggregated delta frame; and transmitting the aggregated delta frame to the respective viewing client. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
