CONTEXTUAL VIDEO CONTENT ADAPTATION BASED ON TARGET DEVICE

摘要

Methods and apparatus for contextual video content adaptation are disclosed. Video content is adapted based on any number of criteria such as a target device type, viewing conditions, network conditions or various use cases, for example. A target adaptation of content may be defined for a specified video source. For example, based on receiving a request from a portable device for a live sports feed, a shortened and reduced resolution version of the live sport feed video may be defined for the portable device. The source content may be accessed and adapted (e.g., adapted temporally, spatially, etc.) and an adapted version of content generated. For example, the source content may be cropped to a particular spatial region of interest and/or reduced in length to a particular scene. The generated adaptation may be transmitted to a device in response to the request, or stored to a storage device.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
one or more processors; and memory comprising program instructions that are executed by the one or more processors to implement:
a video adaptation target module configured to define, in response to a request for video content, one or more target content adaptations for a specified video source; anda video content adaptation generator configured to:
access the video content source;determine, based at least in part on the one or more determined adaptation targets, one or more temporal or spatial adaptations to the video content of the video source;generate, based on the one or more adaptations, an adapted version of the video content, wherein the adapted version differs from the source content in one or more temporal or spatial video characteristics; andresponsive to the request for the content, output the adapted version of the video content.
