Patent ID: 8412828

Claim:
A media resource management method, wherein the method comprises: obtaining, via a media resource management device, algorithm complexities of a plurality of media resources required by a service according to a service type carried in a service instruction; wherein the plurality of media resources includes two or more selected from audio encoding, audio decoding, double tone multiple frequency (DTMF) detection, video encoding, and video decoding in different algorithm formats; determining, via the media resource management device, an algorithm complexity of the service by implementing one step of the group consisting of: (a) adding up the algorithm complexities of the plurality of media resources required by the service, (b) adding the sum of the algorithm complexities of the plurality of media resources with a margin, and (c) adding up weighted algorithm complexity of each of the plurality of media resources required by the service; determining, via the media resource management device, whether a current processing capability of at least one media processing unit is larger than or equal to the algorithm complexity of the service; and allocating, via the media resource management device, the plurality of media resources to the service if the current processing capability of the at least one media processing unit is larger than or equal to the algorithm complexity of the service.
