When client device platform 104 is no longer sent the content-data 210 corresponding to the application of latency-sensitive, as shown in square frame 375, client device platform 104 can reduce mode signal 312 and be delivered to output equipment finishing the stand-by period.Finish stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 and be that with the similar part of stand-by period minimizing pattern initial signal 311 it can be the signal sending together with content-data 210, or it can be CEC command signal or IR command signal.376, output equipment 105 can receive and finish stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312.One receives end stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312, and output equipment 105 just can change back to output mode the first output mode.Be similar to square frame 374, if finishing stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 is not command signal, finishes so stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 and can indicate output equipment 105 need to carry out output mode changeover program to output mode is changed back to the first output mode.Or, if finishing stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 is CEC order or IR order, finish so stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 and can be configured to control output equipment 105 and automatically make output equipment 105 that output mode is changed back to the first output mode, and without the extra operation of operation.
As shown in Figure 3 B, output equipment 105 can be configured to the method according to this invention 301 and implements the output mode of output equipment 105 automatically to change over from the first output mode the method that the stand-by period reduces pattern.The various aspects of method 301 can be implemented in conjunction with the action of output equipment 105 by carrying out the computer executable instructions of operation on output equipment 105 and/or distributor 106.Specifically, output equipment 105 can for example be configured to implement some output equipment instruction 371 ' by suitable programming.In addition, distributor 106 can be configured to implement some distributor instruction 370 '.In Fig. 3 B, dotted arrow represents that by data, connecting 109 data between distributor 106 and output equipment 105 flows.
Except the client device platform 104 by distributor 106 replacement methods 300, method 301 is similar to method 300.The utilization of distributor 106 allows output equipment 105 optionally to receive content-data 210 from a plurality of client device platforms 104.When distributor 106 is sent the content-data 210 being associated with the application of latency-sensitive, can utilize method 301.
One receives the content-data 210 being associated with the application of latency-sensitive, and at square frame 372 ', distributor 106 just can reduce the stand-by period pattern initial signal 311 and be delivered to output equipment 105.Distributor 106 can be by initial signal 311 data inserting streams, and this data flow contains the content-data 210 that is delivered to output equipment 105.For example, but also unrestricted, initial signal 311 can be inserted in the header of the packet that contains content-data 210, or the individual data bag that initial signal 311 can be used as except content-data 210 sends.
When other additional aspect of the present disclosure are also included within the content-data 210 that is delivered to output equipment 105 and come from by the client device platform 104 of the known application that is used for moving latency-sensitive, make distributor 106 will reduce pattern initial signal 311 stand-by period and be delivered to output equipment 105.For example, but also unrestricted, client device platform 104 can be for being mainly used in the game machine of the application (such as the game based on cloud) of latency-sensitive.In this case, when the content-data of game machine 210 is routed to output equipment 105, distributor 106 can be sent stand-by period minimizing initial signal 311 all the time.Distributor 106 can be based on such as, but not limited to history use, default setting and/or user's appointment factor, pre-determining which client device platform 104 will be with initial signal 311.
For example, can utilize the total time percentage that the stand-by period reduces pattern recently to determine historical use by computing client end equipment platform 104.If percent of total surpass threshold value (such as 50 percent or any other rank), distributor will be sent initial signal 311 so.Also can for the time such as the same day, what day or month factor adjust percent of total.User, have at night a certain client device platform 104 for the gaming session based on cloud, and in the morning by identical client device platform 104 during for the pattern of gaming session, this may be useful, in this pattern, game is stored in the memory or disk in client device platform 104.
In addition, the client device platform 104 that distributor 106 can be programmed to identify some type is as utilizing traditionally the client device platform of the application of latency-sensitive.Therefore for example, distributor 106 can be identified game machine as the client device platform that utilizes the application of latency-sensitive, and has predetermined acquiescence to add initial signal 311 firm once sending the content-data 210 that comes from game machine.Or client device platform 104(is such as cable box) can be regarded as traditionally not moving the application of latency-sensitive, and therefore give tacit consent to outside the content-data 210 receiving from cable box and may not add initial signal.
Yet, the acquiescence that predetermined acquiescence may always user wish.For example, cable company starts, by cable box, more contents based on cloud are delivered to user.Application such as the game based on cloud and synchronous group viewing experience becomes more and more general, such as the people such as Joseph Dodson, title is " PLAYBACK SYNCHRONIZATION IN A GROUP VIEWING A MEDIA TITLE " and the patent application of owning together 13/631 year, month, day application, 622(attorney reference SCEA12019US00) those application of describing in, and described application integral body is incorporated to herein.Therefore, user may often be used for cable box the application of the latency-sensitive of these types, and may expect that the default setting that allows user to change distributor 106 is with the most applicable its people's preference.
373 ', output equipment 105 can receive stand-by period minimizing pattern initial signal 311.Output equipment 105 can be by changing over from the first output mode the reception that stand-by period minimizing pattern responds initial signal 311 by output mode automatically.For example but and unrestricted, the first output mode can be the acquiescence output mode of output equipment 105, or first output mode can be for being optimised for observing the alternative display mode of the media of particular type, such as Cine mode pattern or sports channel display mode.When initial signal 311 is not command signal, initial signal 311 can indicate output equipment 105 need to carry out output mode changeover program to output mode is changed over to stand-by period minimizing pattern.For example, output mode changeover program can be for being stored in the program 133 ' in the upper or memory 132 ' of the CPU131 ' of output equipment 105, and it makes output equipment 105 that output mode is changed over to the stand-by period to reduce pattern when being performed.If initial signal 311 is CEC order or IR order, initial signal 311 can be configured to control output equipment 105 and automatically make output equipment 105 that output mode is changed over to stand-by period minimizing pattern so, and without the extra operation of operation.
When distributor 106 is no longer delivered to output equipment 105 by the content-data of the application corresponding to latency-sensitive 210, as shown in square frame 375 ', distributor 106 can automatically be delivered to output equipment by finishing stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312.Finish stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 and be that with the similar part of stand-by period minimizing pattern initial signal 311 it can be the signal sending together with content-data 210, or it can be CEC command signal or IR command signal.376 ', output equipment 105 can receive and finish stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312.One receives end stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312, and output equipment 105 just can change back to output mode the first output mode.Be similar to square frame 374 ', if finishing stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 is not command signal, finishes so stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 and can indicate output equipment 105 need to carry out output mode changeover program to output mode is changed back to the first output mode.Or, if finishing stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 is CEC order or IR order, finish so stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 and can be configured to control output equipment 105 and automatically make output equipment 105 that output mode is changed back to the first output mode, and without the extra operation of operation.
According to additional aspect of the present disclosure, can implement stand-by period minimizing pattern initial signal 311 by the token system described in Fig. 4 and reduce mode signal 312 with the end stand-by period.When initial signal 311 is the non-command signal of being sent by client device platform 104 or distributor 106, can implement the use of token system.Client device platform 104 or distributor 106 can be by initial signal 311 data inserting streams, and this data flow contains the content-data 210 that is delivered to output equipment 105.For example, but also unrestricted, initial signal 311 can be inserted in the header of the packet that contains content-data 210, or the individual data bag that initial signal 311 can be used as except content-data 210 sends.Once send initial signal 311, as long as needed wait time reduces pattern, transmitting apparatus 104 or 106 just supplies token by continuing together with content-data 210.For example but and unrestricted, can in the header of subsequent content data 210, send token, or the individual data bag that token can be used as except content-data 210 is sent.Can send token with each packet of content-data 210, or (such as every 1,5 or 10 second or any other required gap length) at regular intervals, token can be delivered together with content-data.When no longer needed wait time reduces pattern, transmitting apparatus 104 or 106 can stop sending token.Do not receive that token is considered to finish stand-by period minimizing mode signal, and therefore, indication output equipment 105 changes back to the first state by output mode.
Can implement token system according to method 400.In method 400, first output equipment 105 must determine in decision block 451 whether it reduces pattern in the stand-by period at present.If output equipment 105 does not reduce pattern in the stand-by period, method 400 enters square frame 456 so, and wherein output equipment 105 must check and receive that the stand-by period reduces initial signal 311.If output equipment 105 is determined, in decision block 457, received initial signal 311, output equipment 105 enters square frame 458 and starts stand-by period minimizing pattern so.Once start the stand-by period, reduce pattern, method 400 enters square frame 452.Yet if do not receive initial signal 311 in square frame 457, method 400 enters square frame 459 and remains in the first output mode so.After this, method continues to turn back to square frame 456 to continue checking that the stand-by period reduces initial signal 311.
If the answer of square frame 451 is yes, method 400 enters square frame 452 so.In square frame 452, indication output equipment 105 checks token and enters decision block 453.If output equipment 105 has received token in square frame 453, method continues to enter square frame 454 and output equipment 105 and will remain in the stand-by period and reduce pattern so.After square frame 454, method is got back to square frame 452 by propelling and is again started circulation, and wherein method will check token again.Yet if do not receive token in square frame 453, method 400 continues to enter square frame 455 so.In square frame 455, output equipment 105 finishes stand-by period minimizing pattern and returns to the first output mode.After this, method continues to enter square frame 456, and wherein output equipment will start to check initial signal 311.It should be noted that in some implementations, initial signal 311 can be the form of token.
According to additional aspect of the present disclosure, output equipment can offer information client device platform 104, distributor 106Huo content supplier 107, thereby notifies what their first output modes are.This information can be provided as the result from the inquiry of any one or content supplier 107 in equipment 104,106.
Or one receives stand-by period minimizing pattern initial signal 311, output equipment just can automatically be got back to this information delivery equipment 104,106Huo content supplier 107.This is useful when finishing stand-by period minimizing mode signal 312 for command signal (such as CEC order or IR order), and this is because this signal can comprise the order of further processing without output equipment 105 for output mode being returned to the first output mode.
