Abstract

A method and apparatus of a device that manages a video telephony call is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a heads-up of a network event from a network service of a device. The device further determines that the network event that is due to a local disruption of a network component of the device. In addition, and in response to the determination, the device adjusts a target delay of the video telephony call.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to manage a video telephony call, the method comprising:
receiving a heads-up of a network event from a network service of a device; determining that the network event is due to a local disruption of a network component of the device; and in response to the determination, adjusting a target delay of the video telephony call.

2 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network component is a Wi-Fi network component.

3 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the event is a Wi-Fi off-channel start event.

4 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , detecting the network event.

5 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 4 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the network event, setting a jitter buffer into a spike mode.

6 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that network event is due to a local resumption of the network component of the device; and in response to the resumption determination, resetting the target delay of the video telephony call.

7 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network event is a Wi-Fi off-channel stop.

8 . A method comprising:
receiving a heads-up of a network event from a network service of a device; determining that the network event is due to a local disruption of a network component of the device; and in response to the determination, adjusting a target delay of the video telephony call.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the network component is a Wi-Fi network component.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the event is a Wi-Fi off-channel start event.

11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
detecting the network event.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the network event, setting a jitter buffer into a spike mode.

13 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining that network event is due to a local resumption of the network component of the device; and in response to the resumption determination, resetting the target delay of the video telephony call.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the network event is a Wi-Fi off-channel stop.

15 . A method to manage a video telephony call, the method comprising:
receiving a heads-up of a network event from a network service of a device; determining that the network event is due to a local disruption of a network component of the device, and in response to the determination, adjusting a target delay of the video telephony call.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the network component is a Wi-Fi network component.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the event is a Wi-Fi off-channel start event.

18 . The method of claim 15 , detecting the network event.

19 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the network event, setting a jitter buffer into a spike mode.

20 . A system to manage a video telephony call, the system comprising:
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor though a bus; and a process executed from the memory by the processor that causes the processor to receive a heads-up of a network event from a network service of a device, determine that the network event is due to a local disruption of a network component of the device; and in response to the determination, adjust a target delay of the video telephony call.
