Video Quality of Experience Based on Video Quality Estimation

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an analysis and control of video quality of experience (VQoE) of services delivered to one or more client devices. A content version segment may be selected for delivery to a client device based upon an estimation of the video quality experienced by the client device and the bandwidth available for delivering content to the client device. Video quality estimation may be based upon information associated with the encoding of a media stream coupled with one or more parameters of the client device receiving the media stream. Video quality estimation for one or more client devices may be aggregated and displayed to a service operator and/or may be used to inform content selection decisions in an adaptive bit-rate delivery method.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
retrieving device parameter information associated with a client device receiving a media stream associated with a piece of media content, wherein the media stream comprises one or more video segments associated with a first version of a plurality of versions of the piece of media content, the first version of the piece of media content being selected for delivery to the client device based upon an amount of bandwidth available for delivery of the media content to the client device; retrieving video quality estimation information associated with the media stream being received at the client device, wherein video quality estimation information is generated for each respective version of the plurality of versions of the piece of media content and is based, at least in part on an encoding bit-rate associated with the respective content version and display parameters associated with the client device, and wherein video quality estimation information provides an indication of the video quality of experience for a display of the media content at the client device; aggregating the device parameter information and video quality estimation information; and modifying the selection of a version of the piece of media content based upon the aggregated device parameter information and video quality estimation information.
