Correcting disruption of a network during a virtual meeting
Some implementations described herein provide apparatuses and techniques for correcting a network disruption during a virtual meeting. In response to detecting audio and/or video input to a first device, audio and/or video data is recorded and stored in a temporary buffer of the first device. After the network disruption, and using time stamps, a network disruption server may request the audio and/or video data from the first device and transmit the audio and/or video data to a second device at an accelerated rate.
1. A method, comprising:
determining that a disruption of a network has occurred;
determining a duration of the disruption;
requesting, from a first device, audio and/or video data stored by the first device over the duration of the disruption;
receiving, from the first device, the audio and/or video data stored by the first device over the duration of the disruption; and
transmitting, to a second device, the audio and/or video data stored by the first device over the duration of the disruption at a first accelerated playback rate,
wherein at least one of:
the first accelerated playback rate is based on the duration of the disruption, or
real-time audio and/or video data, received from the first device after the disruption has been resolved, is further transmitted to the second device at a second accelerated playback rate different than the first accelerated playback rate.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the disruption has occurred comprises:
determining that the disruption has occurred based on an indication received from the first device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the disruption has occurred comprises:
determining that the disruption has occurred based on an indication received from the second device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein requesting the audio and/or video data stored over the duration of the disruption comprises:
providing, to the first device, a beginning time stamp, corresponding to a first time of the audio and/or video data, and an ending time stamp corresponding to a second time of the audio and/or video data.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining the first accelerated playback rate based on the duration of the disruption.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the second device, a notification indicating that the audio and/or video data being transmitted at the first accelerated playback rate is due to the disruption of the network.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
buffering real-time audio and/or video data.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the real-time audio and/or video data at the second accelerated playback rate.
9. A method, comprising:
determining audio and/or video content of a virtual meeting is being shared;
storing audio and/or video data corresponding to the audio and/or video content in a temporary storage buffer;
receiving a request for a portion of the audio and/or video data,
wherein the portion of the audio and/or video data is identified by a beginning time stamp and an ending time stamp associated with a temporary disruption of a network being used for the virtual meeting; and
transmitting the portion of the audio and/or video data at an accelerated playback rate,
wherein the accelerated playback rate is based on a duration of the temporary disruption.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein storing the audio and/or video data corresponding to the audio and/or video content in the temporary storage buffer comprises:
continuously overwriting the audio and/or video data.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
determining the beginning time stamp and the ending time stamp prior to transmitting the portion of the audio and/or video data.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving the beginning time stamp and the ending time stamp as part of the request for the portion of the audio and/or video data.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining that the temporary disruption of the network being used for the virtual meeting has occurred.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
transmitting a notification that the temporary disruption of the network has occurred.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein transmitting the notification that the temporary disruption of the network has occurred comprises:
transmitting the beginning time stamp and the ending time stamp.
16. A device comprising:
an audio input component;
a video input component; and
a network disruption correction application stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and configured to:
determine that a temporary disruption of a network being used for a virtual meeting has occurred;
determine a beginning time stamp and an ending time stamp associated with the temporary disruption;
transmit a request that includes the beginning time stamp and the ending time stamp for a retransmission of audio and/or video data from the virtual meeting that was missed during the temporary disruption;
receive the audio and/or video data;
present the audio and/or video data at a first accelerated playback speed; and
present updated real-time audio and/or video data, received after the temporary disruption has been resolved, at a second playback speed different than the first accelerated playback speed.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the network disruption correction application configured to determine that the temporary disruption of the network being used for the virtual meeting has occurred is configured to:
determine that the temporary disruption of the network has occurred between the network and the device.
18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the network disruption correction application configured to determine that the temporary disruption of the network being used for the virtual meeting has occurred is configured to:
determine that the temporary disruption of the network has occurred between the network and another device.
19. The device of claim 16 , wherein the network disruption correction application is further configured to:
transmit a notification of the temporary disruption of the network that includes one or more parameters related to a bandwidth, a data packet loss rate, or a transmission signal strength within the network.
20. The device of claim 16 , wherein the network disruption correction application is further configured to:
determine that the temporary disruption of the network has been resolved, and
transmit a notification indicating that the temporary disruption of the network has been resolved.
