METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION OF MULTIMEDIA DATA FROM SERVER TO CLIENT BASED ON CLIENT'S DISPLAY CONDITION, METHOD AND MODULE FOR ADAPTING DECODING OF MULTIMEDIA DATA IN CLIENT BASED ON CLIENT'S DISPLAY CONDITION, MODULE FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION OF MULTIMEDIA DATA FROM SERVER TO CLIENT BASED ON CLIENT'S DISPLAY CONDITION AND CLIENT-SERVER SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically defocus displayed multimedia information on a client by monitoring static and dynamic display properties of the client.;SOLUTION: Automatic defocusing of displayed multimedia information (e.g., video) on a client-server system by monitoring dynamic display properties of the client provides more efficient use of resources in the system. In one embodiment, bandwidth is conserved by configuring the server with the capability of defocusing selected data being sent to the client based on the client's dynamic properties. The defocused data can be sent at a lower bit-rate. In another embodiment, the client's decoder is configured to receives and process the monitoring information and make adjustments on the client side. In this situation, only viewable data is decoded accurately, other obstructed data can be decoded at a lower accuracy.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
