POWER OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECIAL MEDIA PLAYBACK SCENARIOS

摘要

A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for optimizing power consumption in special media playback scenarios. The method includes identifying a scenario where decoding of a first portion of a multimedia stream can be interrupted; and interrupting the decoding of the first portion of the multimedia stream while continuing to decode a second portion of the multimedia stream. The first portion may be a video stream and the second portion may be an audio stream, and the scenario may include a playback window for the video stream being hidden. The first portion may be an audio stream and the second portion may be a video stream, and the scenario may include the audio stream being muted. The method may further include determining that the scenario has changed and resuming decoding of the first portion of the multimedia stream.
