Abstract:
Systems and method of video quality adaptation include acquiring video data to be streamed. An available bandwidth on a communications network is determined. A determined playback speed is determined based upon a bitrate of the video data to be streamed and the available bandwidth on the communications network. The video data is decoded to produce decoded video data which is encoded at the determined playback speed to produce encoded video data. The encoded video data is streamed across the communications network.

Claim (Index 26):
A method of video quality adaptation, the method comprising:\n acquiring video data having a first playback speed and a first resolution, based on a first bitrate; determining an available bandwidth on a communications network, the available bandwidth corresponding to a second bitrate that is less than the first bitrate, wherein the second bitrate is the current maximum bitrate the available bandwidth allows; calculating a second playback speed that enables the video data to stream over the communications network at a third bitrate that is less than the second bitrate and play at the first resolution, wherein the calculating includes periodically monitoring the available bandwidth on the communications network and updating, based on the monitoring, the second playback speed; wherein the periodic monitoring includes transmitting the video data and calculating the available bandwidth based on the variable time required to transmit the video data; encoding the video data to play at the second playback speed and the first resolution; streaming at the third bitrate, over the communications network, the video data encoded to play at the second playback speed and the first resolution; and utilizing the remaining available bandwidth to stream additional video data at the first playback speed and the first resolution, wherein the additional video data creates a buffer of video data, such that at a later time the video data played will be the buffered video data that is encoded at the first playback speed and the first resolution.
