System and method for real-time video communications
Systems and methods for video communication services are presented herein. In particular, systems and methods in which multiple participants can simultaneously create and share video in real-time are presented herein. Other systems and methods are also presented herein.
1. A real time communication platform, comprising,
an application layer module interoperable on a processor associated with a mobile device having a memory and at least one camera, wherein the application layer module comprises at least one session control module;
a digital technology media engine in communication with the application layer module and at least one media source accessible to the processor of the mobile device, wherein the digital technology media engine includes at least one codec; and
a real time adaptation sub-system in communication with the application layer module and the processor, wherein the real time adaptation sub-system is capable of detecting and adapting to variations in one or more conditions to which at least one of the processor, memory, or the at least one camera is subjected; and
wherein the at least one codec is capable of analyzing variations in the compressibility of uncompressed video frame sequences output from the at least one cameras, and communicating the analysis to the real time adaptation sub-system.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein subsequent to receiving the communication from the at least one codec regarding variations in the compressibility of uncompressed video frame sequences, the real time adaptation sub-system manages frame rate targets.
3. A method of providing real time communication, comprising:
deploying a client application to a mobile device having a memory and at least one camera, wherein the client application comprises:
an application layer module capable of being interoperable on a processor associated with the mobile device and comprising at least one session control module;
a digital technology media engine capable of communicating with the application layer module and at least one media source accessible to the processor of the mobile device, and including at least one codec; and
a real time adaptation sub-system capable of communicating with the application layer module and the processor, and further capable of detecting and adapting to variations in one or more conditions to which at least one of the processor, memory, or the at least one camera is subjected; and
wherein the at least one codec analyzes variations in the compressibility of uncompressed video frame sequences output from the at least one cameras, and communicates the analysis to the real time adaptation sub-system.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein subsequent to receiving the communication from the at least one codec regarding variations in the compressibility of uncompressed video frame sequences, the real time adaptation sub-system manages frame rate targets.
