AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, client devices need to transform and stream multiple times when using the same media object, resulting in a significant increase in network and computing resources, and commercial networks have difficulty effectively distributing immersive media from heterogeneous client devices.

Method used

By maintaining redundant caches in the streaming network, redundant copies of immersive media assets are stored, and the decision to stream directly or provide media assets from the redundant cache is made based on the client's local caching status, avoiding repeated transformations and streaming.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the demand for network and computing resources, improves the efficiency of immersive media distribution to heterogeneous client devices, and reduces network latency and resource consumption.

Abstract

Methods and related apparatuses for streaming media assets are provided. The method can include receiving, by a streaming media server, an immersive media stream including one or more immersive media assets associated with one or more scenes; determining that a subset of the one or more immersive media assets is included multiple times in the one or more scenes; storing a redundant copy of each immersive media asset in the subset in a redundant cache maintained by a streaming media network such that both the streaming media server and a client have access to each immersive media asset in the subset; and responsive to a local cache of the client not storing at least one media asset in the subset, streaming the at least one media asset.
