Patent ID: 8793724

Claim:
A method for generating domain-compliant image data, comprising: evaluating, by a computing system, whether particular encoded image data received from one of a live streaming video source and a particular memory location storing recorded video content is restricted from direct export to a particular computing system other than the computing system based on domain-specific usage rights that are associated with the transfer of encoded image data to the particular computing system and that are at least content provider-specific, and wherein the domain-specific usage rights specify maximum allowable spatial frequency content of the particular encoded image data; generating, by the computing system and based on the evaluating, domain-compliant image data by removing particular disallowable spatial frequency content from the encoded image data without fully decoding the encoded image data prior to transfer to the particular computing system when the particular encoded image data is restricted from direct transfer to the particular computing system; and exporting the particular encoded image data without or with scrambling to the particular computing system when the particular encoded image data is unrestricted from direct transfer to the particular computing system, and the domain-compliant image data to at least a particular memory location of the particular computing system without or with scrambling when the particular encoded image data is restricted from direct transfer to the particular computing system.
