DEVICE ORIENTATION CAPABILITY EXCHANGE REPORTING AND SERVER ADAPTATION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT IN RESPONSE TO DEVICE ORIENTATION

摘要

A device orientation capability exchange signaling and server adaptation of media content in response to a device orientation. Capability swap reporting techniques are provided that provide UE orientation sensor information to network servers. The orientation sensor information describes a device's support for orientation sensor capabilities, or a current orientation state of the device. Based on such information, a media server provides different encoded versions of the media content for different device orientation modes supported by the device. The server can also adapt, dynamically and in real time, the capture or transcoding parameters of the media to create content suitable (that is, optimized) for the current orientation mode of the device, or for its functions. various orientation states and intermediate spatial positions.
