Automatic quality of service based resource allocation

摘要

A system can provide quality-of-service based network resource allocation and utilization in a dynamic network environment. A system may determine a current quality level of current media data presented to a user by a remote system in communication with the first system. The system may determine if it can provide subsequent media data to the remote system at a higher quality level than the current quality level. As one example, the system may identify a network connection with the remote system that supports providing the subsequent media data at the higher quality level to the remote system. The system may then obtain the subsequent media data at the higher quality level and send the subsequent media data at the higher quality level to the remote system.

1. A method comprising:
in a sending device:
determining a current quality level of current media data presented by a remote device in communication with the sending device;determining whether the sending device can provide subsequent media data to the remote device at a higher quality level than the current quality level based on whether the sending device has better processing capabilities than that of the remote device; andin response to determining the sending device can provide the subsequent media data at the higher quality level:
the sending device obtaining the subsequent media data at the higher quality level by utilizing the sending device's better processing capabilities to encode the subsequent media at a lower loss encoding technique than used to encode the current media data; andsending the subsequent media data at the higher quality level to the remote device.
