Abstract:
1. A method for processing data, comprising: obtaining network data related to a transmission characteristic for a telecommunications network; obtaining first data at a first device operably in communication with a network site via the telecommunications network; obtaining data for compressing the first data, the data for compressing for use in identifying one of a first data compression and a second data compression; wherein for the network data being indicative of a first result of the transmission characteristic, the data for compressing is for identifying the first data compression, and for the network data being indicative of a more constrained second result of the transmission characteristic, the data for compressing is for identifying the second data compression, wherein the first data compression compresses data less than the second data compression; enhancing the first data, or data derived therefrom, for obtaining enhanced data; wherein the step of enhancing includes performing a first noise reduction resulting in the enhanced data having a first reduction in noise content when the data for compressing is for identifying the first data compression, and wherein the step of enhancing includes performing a second noise reduction resulting in the enhanced data having a second reduction in noise content when the data for compressing is for identifying the second data compression; wherein, for the first data including video data, the first noise reduction reduces more noise in the enhanced data than the second noise reduction; compressing the enhanced data with one of the first data compression and the second data compression according to the network data, thereby obtaining processed data; obtaining history information indicative of processing of the first data to obtain the process data, wherein the history information includes compression description information related to the data for compressing, and including enhancement description information indicative of enhancements performed on the first data for obtaining the enhanced data; and transmitting the processed data and the history information, via the network, to the network site; wherein following the transmission, the transmitted history information is accessed for decompressing the transmitted processed data when the transmitted processed data is compressed.
