Method and apparatus for dynamically adapting image updates based on network performance

摘要

A technique is provided for dynamically adjusting information transmitted between a served station and a serving station. In the present technique, an imaging system may be configured to detect and convert signals into an image. Also, the imaging system may be configured to produce image data. A serving station is configured to receive the image data from the imaging system along with network performance data from network sensors. The serving station has a scanner module configured to dynamically modify a scanning rate of the image data based on the network performance. Similarly, the serving station has an encoder module configured to dynamically modify an encoding format of the image data based on the network performance. A served station is configured to receive the modified image data from the serving station via a network.
