Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is an approach for delivering visual content that improves network bandwidth utilizations. The visual data is separated into multiple categories, where the data for different categories are delivered using different bandwidth utilizations schemes. A first category of the data is delivered at a higher frame rate than the frame rate for a second category of the data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for delivery of visual content across a network comprising: identifying coordinates for a foreground portion and a background portion of a frame of visual content; analyzing the coordinates of the foreground portion and the background portion of the frame of the visual content relative to a camera point of view; determining a relative depth of each of the foreground portion and the background portion of the frame of the visual content based on t…
