EXTENDING BROWSER SUPPORT OF REAL TIME MEDIA TO ANY AVAILABLE CODEC

摘要

Method for extending web browser support to include real-time media having any media compression scheme without the need for media plugins. The method involves receiving at a web client computing device a web page resource hosted by a server. The web page resource includes an embedded script which defines a codec for real-time media communications. Thereafter, a real-time media session as between the web client and a remote computing device involves receiving at the web client real-time media data originating from the remote computing device, and performing media encoding at the web client within a web browser application using the at least one script to convert the video data from the first media coding scheme to an unencoded media format.

1. A method for extending web browser support to include real-time media having any media compression scheme without the need for media plugins, comprising:
receiving at a web client computing device a web page resource hosted by a server, the web page resource comprising at least one embedded script which defines a codec for real-time media communications; initiating a real-time media session as between the web client and a remote computing device; receiving at the web client real-time media data originating from the remote computing device and encoded using a media coding scheme; performing media decoding at the web client within a web browser application using the codec defined in the at least one embedded script to convert the video data from the media coding scheme to a non-encoded media format.
