Abstract:
1. A method comprising: intercepting at an adaptive data processing system a request for video content sent from a client device to a data server, wherein the adaptive data processing system is distinct from and transparent to the client device and the data server, wherein intercepting the request comprises receiving attribute parameters that identify specific characteristics of the client device; intercepting video content output by the data server at the adaptive data processing system; determining that the intercepted video content was output by the data server in response to the request; modifying the intercepted video content according to the attribute parameters; and transmitting the modified video content to the client device; wherein the data server stores video content in a selected resolution and a selected format to reduce the storage space needed for the video content; and wherein dynamically modifying the video content facilitates easing the processing requirements of the client device.
