MCU Video Stream Manipulator Macroblock Assembly

The patent divides the video frame into multiple slices, which are further divided into macroblock groups. This segmentation allows the encoding process to be broken down into smaller, independent units that can be processed more efficiently. By organizing macroblocks into groups and slices, the system can process multiple participants' video streams in parallel while maintaining separate encoding for each participant, thus improving user experience without proportionally increasing computing cost.

The patent performs preliminary organization of macroblocks into groups and slices before the actual encoding process. This preliminary action prepares the data structure in advance, allowing the encoding process to proceed more efficiently. By pre-organizing the macroblocks into a structured format with proper grouping and slicing, the system reduces the computational burden during the actual encoding phase, enabling separate encoding of multiple streams with reduced computing cost.

The patent segments the video processing task by dividing frames into slices and macroblock groups, allowing different participants' video streams to be processed through standardized, modular operations. This segmentation enables the MCU to handle multiple video streams with diverse requirements by applying the same efficient processing structure to each, thereby achieving versatile video conference functionality without linearly increasing computing power requirements.

The patent changes the organizational parameters of video data by introducing specific grouping structures for macroblocks and slices. By reorganizing the data structure into standardized groups and slices with defined parameters, the system can process multiple video streams more efficiently. This parameter change enables the MCU to adapt to different video conference scenarios while maintaining optimized computing resource utilization.
