METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING QUALITY OF SERVICE

摘要

A method and apparatus for dynamically controlling quality of service (QoS) is provided. During operation, a QoS manager will determine if a device is currently being used by an individual. Determination can be carried out by facial detection or motion detection. The QoS of the device will then be tailored based on whether or not the device is currently being used by the individual. Devices that may be running applications, yet unused by anyone in the vicinity may have their QoS reduced. This will allow the QoS to be increased for devices that are currently being used.
