Generally, audio-video content editing on computer systems involves computationally intensive processes and utilizes larger than usual amounts of computing resources than other computer activities (e.g., word processing, browsing the Internet). This is particularly true when the content editing involves high definition/quality audio or video content, which are well notorious for being large in data size and process heavy during content encoding and decoding processes.
Unfortunately, due to these computing needs, high definition/quality audio-video content editing has typically been limited to powerful computing systems that tend to have the requisite computing resources to perform content editing quickly. If the same high definition/quality content editing were to be performed on a less powerful computing system, the likely result would be slower or poorer content editing performance, possibly to the point where the content editing becomes impractical or impossible. Consequently, less powerful computing systems, such as older computer systems, netbooks, and particular mobile devices, are either prevented from performing audio-video content editing, or relegated to performing audio-video content editing involving only proxy content.
The foregoing example of trends and issues is intended to be illustrative and not exclusive. Other limitations of the art will become apparent to those of skill in the relevant art upon a reading of the specification and a study of the drawings.
According to various embodiments, systems and methods for low bandwidth consumption online content editing are provided, where user-created content comprising high definition/quality content (also referred to as “non-proxy content”) is created or modified at an online content editing server according to the instruction from an online content editor client, and where a proxy version (also referred to herein as a “proxy version”) of the resulting user-created content is provided to online content editor client to facilitate review or further editing of the user-created content from the online content editor client. In some embodiments, the online content editing server utilizes proxy content (also referred to herein as “proxy content”) during creation and modification operations on the user-created content, and replaces such proxy content with corresponding higher definition/quality content possibly when the user-created content is published for consumption, or when the user has paid for the higher quality content.
By utilizing proxy versions of the user-created content in this manner, systems and methods of some embodiments can utilize less network bandwidth as the online content editor client commands the online content editor server to perform content-related operations on user-created content, and as the online content editor server provides proxy versions of the user-created content for content review and editing purposes. The use of proxy versions of the user-created content also allow the online content editor client to review and edit content without the need for additional computing resources to review user-created content comprising high quality/high definition content.
In addition to using proxy versions of content for online content editing, various embodiments may optimize network bandwidth usage by dynamically determining what portions and/or versions of user-created or user-modified content should be uploaded from an online content editor client to an online content editing server as the content editing activities are performed (e.g., through the online content editor client). For some embodiments, the determination can be based on the type of content editing activity being performed at the online content editor client (e.g., collaborative content activity, previewing user-created content, or previewing rendered user-created content).
The invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process; an apparatus; a system; a composition of matter; a computer program product embodied on a computer readable storage medium; and/or a processor, such as a processor configured to execute instructions stored on and/or provided by a memory coupled to the processor. In this specification, these implementations, or any other form that the invention may take, may be referred to as techniques. In general, the order of the steps of disclosed processes may be altered within the scope of the invention. Unless stated otherwise, a component such as a processor or a memory described as being configured to perform a task may be implemented as a general component that is temporarily configured to perform the task at a given time or a specific component that is manufactured to perform the task. As used herein, the term ‘processor’ refers to one or more devices, circuits, and/or processing cores configured to process data, such as computer program instructions.
A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the invention is provided below along with accompanying figures that illustrate the principles of the invention. The invention is described in connection with such embodiments, but the invention is not limited to any embodiment. The scope of the invention is limited only by the claims and the invention encompasses numerous alternatives, modifications and equivalents. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. These details are provided for the purpose of example and the invention may be practiced according to the claims without some or all of these specific details. For the purpose of clarity, technical material that is known in the technical fields related to the invention has not been described in detail so that the invention is not unnecessarily obscured.
“User-created content” as used herein includes any content authored by a user using the content creation/editing tools described in this paper, or some other content editing tool. The user-created content can be created to be multi-layered content, comprising multiple content layers of different content types. High definition/quality as used herein includes content having definition or quality that is higher than the average definition or quality for the similar content. For example, high definition/quality audio content can include audio clips having a high sampling rate (e.g., 44 KHz), has a higher bit-rate or effective bit-rate (e.g., 256 Kbs), or is encoded in a lossless audio encoding format.
As used in this paper, an engine includes a dedicated or shared processor and, typically, firmware or software modules that are executed by the processor. Depending upon implementation-specific or other considerations, an engine can be centralized or its functionality distributed. An engine can include special purpose hardware, firmware, or software embodied in a computer-readable medium for execution by the processor. As used in this paper, a computer-readable medium is intended to include all mediums that are statutory (e.g., in the United States, under 35 U.S.C. 101), and to specifically exclude all mediums that are non-statutory in nature to the extent that the exclusion is necessary for a claim that includes the computer-readable medium to be valid. Known statutory computer-readable mediums include hardware (e.g., registers, random access memory (RAM), non-volatile (NV) storage, to name a few), but may or may not be limited to hardware.
In the example of
As the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 creates or modifies the user-created content, the server 102 provides the online content editor client 106 a version of the resulting user-created content that comprises a proxy version of the high definition/quality content. The online content editor client 106 can use the resulting user-created content (having proxy content) for review or editing purposes as the client 106 instructs the server 102 to modify the user-created content. For example, the online content editor client 106 can perform edits to content by directly applying edits to the proxy content (e.g., received from the server 102) and then uploading the edited proxy content to the server 102 (e.g., so that the server 102 has latest version of the content for collaboration or final rendering/publishing purposes). In another example, the online content editor client 106 can perform edits to content by instructing the server 102 to perform edits to the content (e.g., stored at the server 102) on the client 106's behalf; thereafter, the online content editor client 106 can receive a proxy version of the content resulting from the edits applied by the server 102.
By transmitting user-created content comprising proxy content (i.e., lower quality version of the user-created content), the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 utilizes less network bandwidth when transmitting the user-created content to the online content editor client 106. Additionally, the lower quality version of the content is received by the online content editor client 106 requires less computing resources to play and view. For some embodiments, utilization of the network bandwidth (for example, when transmitting user-created content or other information between the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 and the online content editor client 106) can be further optimized using one or more methods described in association with
Depending on the embodiment, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 can provide a proxy version of user-created content as a content stream that buffers and plays at the online content editor client 106, or as a content file that is playable at the online content editor client 106 once the content file has been downloaded to the client 106 or while the content file is being downloaded by the client 106.
In some embodiments, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 can create or modify the user-created content using a proxy version of the high definition/quality content, and then provide the resulting user-created content (comprising the proxy version) to the online content editor client 106. In various embodiments, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 can create or modify the user-created content using the high definition/quality content, generate a version of the user-created content comprising a proxy content, and then provide the resulting the proxy user-created content to the online content editor client 106.
As the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 creates and modifies the user-created content, one or more versions of the user-created content may be stored on the server-side datastore 104. The server 102 can store created or modified user-created content before the created or modified user-created content to the online content editor client 106. When the online content editor client 106 receives created or modified user-created content, the client 106 can store the created or modified user-created content on the client-side datastore 108 before the created or modified user-created content is reviewed or previewed at the client 106.
A datastore can be implemented, for example, as software embodied in a physical computer-readable medium on a general- or specific-purpose machine, in firmware, in hardware, in a combination thereof, or in an applicable known or convenient device or system. Datastores in this paper are intended to include any organization of data, including tables, comma-separated values (CSV) files, traditional databases (e.g., SQL), or other applicable known or convenient organizational formats. Datastore-associated components, such as database interfaces, can be considered “part of” a datastore, part of some other system component, or a combination thereof, though the physical location and other characteristics of datastore-associated components is not critical for an understanding of the techniques described in this paper.
Datastores can include data structures. As used in this paper, a data structure is associated with a particular way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently within a given context. Data structures are generally based on the ability of a computer to fetch and store data at any place in its memory, specified by an address, a bit string that can be itself stored in memory and manipulated by the program. Thus some data structures are based on computing the addresses of data items with arithmetic operations; while other data structures are based on storing addresses of data items within the structure itself. Many data structures use both principles, sometimes combined in non-trivial ways. The implementation of a data structure usually entails writing a set of procedures that create and manipulate instances of that structure.
Eventually, at the instruction of the online content editor client 106, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 can publish a finalized version of the user-created content for download or sharing with others. During publication, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 can replace low definition/quality content in the user-created content with a high-quality definition/high quality counterpart or some version thereof. For some embodiments, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 102 will replace low definition/quality content with corresponding high-quality definition/high quality content based on payment by a user. For example, a user may have to make payment before the user-created content is published with high definition/quality content. Absent payment, the user can be prevented from publishing the user-created content, or the user is left with publishing user-created content using proxy content.
In the example of
In the example of
In order to perform various operations, the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 is coupled to the content library engine 210, the adjustable-quality layer rendering engine 214, the content publication engine 216, and the adjustable-quality content payment engine 220. As discussed in detail below, the adjustable-quality content quality editing engine 208 can access content items and information relating to the content items through the content library engine 210, can render one or more (content) layers of the user-created content at an adjusted quality using the adjustable-quality layer rendering engine 214, and can use the content publication engine 216 to publish the user-created content at an adjusted quality for download or sharing purposes. The online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 can receive pre-payment or post-payment through the adjustable-quality content payment engine 220 to permit access to for-purchase content or to publish the user-defined content using for-purchase content (e.g., content of varying quality, such as high definition/quality content).
In the example of
In the example of
In some embodiments, the high definition/quality content items can be added to, removed from, and adjusted within the user-created item without need of payment. When the user requests publication of the user-created content, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202 can request payment before publication of the user-created content is allowed. Alternatively, a payment can be requested in order for the user-created content to be published using the high definition/quality content rather a proxy version of the high definition/quality content.
In some embodiments, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202 can use proxy versions of the high definition/quality content when performing creation and modification operations on the user-created content, where the use of the proxy version continues until publication of the user-created content. In some embodiments, the content library engine 210 can provide the server 202 with the proxy version of the high definition/quality content utilized during creation and modification operations. Depending on the embodiment, the content library engine 210 can generate the proxy version as it is requested by various engines (e.g., the adjustable-quality layer rendering engine 214, or the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208), or the content library engine 210 can provide the proxy version as stored on the content library datastore 212. As described herein, the proxy version of the high definition/quality content can also be utilized by the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 when transmitting previews of the content to the online content editor client 206.
The content stored on the content library datastore 212 (hereafter, also referred to as “content items”) can have various associated properties (i.e., content item properties) that provide details regarding aspects of the content items. In certain embodiments, the content item properties can comprise such information as content type, content duration, content usage permissions (e.g., licensing rights), content cost parameters (e.g., free to use until the user-created content is published, or is published using high definition/quality content), content data size, content source (e.g., user provided, or third party author), or content creation or modification date. Through online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208, a user can review listings of content items in the content library datastore 212 (e.g., available or unavailable content), review details regarding content items in the content library (e.g., price, usage parameters, content type, duration where applicable, or content definition/quality), manage content items in the content library datastore 212 (e.g., add, delete, or modify content items in the content library), and add content items from the content library datastore 212 to user-created content.
In the example of
For instance, the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 can specify that the layers of the user-created content, comprising high definition/quality content, be rendered using a low definition/quality version of the high definition/quality content. Thereafter, the user-created content comprising layers of low definition/quality content can be provided to the online content editor client 206 by the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 for preview or editing purposes, or can be provided to the content publication engine 216 (e.g., for free publication of user-created content comprising proxy content). In some embodiments, the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 can specify that the layers of the user-created content, comprising high definition/quality content, be rendered using the high definition/quality content, but only at the time of publication through the content publication engine 216, or only at after the user submits payment through the adjustable-quality content payment engine 220.
In the example of
In the example of
In the example of
In some embodiments, where the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202 is implemented using virtual or cloud-based computing resources, such virtual or cloud-based computer resources can be managed through the cloud management engine 224. The cloud management engine 224 can delegate various content-related operations and sub-operations of the server 202 to virtual or cloud-based computer resources, and manage the execution of the operations. Depending on the embodiment, the cloud management engine 224 can facilitate management of the virtual or cloud-based computer resources through a application program interface (API) that provides management access and control to the virtual or cloud-based infrastructure providing the computing resources for the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202.
In the example of
Alternatively, the online content editor client 206 can modify content by receiving a proxy version of content to be edited, apply edits directly to the proxy content, and then upload the edited proxy content to the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202 so that the edits can be consistently applied to corresponding content residing on the server 202. For some embodiments, the edited proxy content can be sent to the online adjustable-quality content editing engine 208 for application to the corresponding content residing on the server 202. Additionally, when the edited lower quality/definition content is uploaded from the online content editor client 206 to the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202, various implementations can utilize one or more methods for optimizing the network bandwidth usage. More regarding such optimization methods are described herein in association with
Depending on the embodiment, the low bandwidth consumption online content editor server 202 can provide the proxy version of user-created content as a content stream that is buffered and played through the remote online content editor user interface engine 226, or as a content file that is playable by the remote online content editor user interface engine 226 once the content file has been downloaded to the online content editor client 206 and stored to the local-version content datastore 228.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that depending on the implementation, the optimization method can be implemented for content transfer from the online low-bandwidth consumption client to the online low-bandwidth consumption server, can be implemented for content transfer from the online low-bandwidth consumption server to the online low-bandwidth consumption client, or both. Additionally, though the optimization methods described herein are primarily described in association with content transfers, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the optimization methods can be utilized for other information being transferred between the online low-bandwidth consumption client and the online low-bandwidth consumption server including, for example, timeline information. Furthermore, in some implementations, the modules of the flowchart 500 and other flowcharts described in this paper are reordered to a permutation of the illustrated order of modules or reorganized for parallel execution.
In the example of
In the example of
At module 504, actions instructed to be performed may include creation operations or edit operations to be performed on the user-created content. The context in which the instruction is made and/or the action is performed can have an influence on how the method optimizes transfers of content between the client and server. Some examples of context aspects that can be considered during the optimization method include whether the instruction is requested in a collaborative setting (e.g., were one content editor user are editing the same user-created content in a collaborative manner), content editor user preferences (e.g., early start on rendering processes), and whether one or more other instructions have been requested concurrently with the instruction requested at module 504.
In the example of
In yet another example, where two or more content editor users are collaboratively performing content edits to the same user-created content and where each content editor user is respectively editing proxy content residing locally at the content editor user's client, the module 506 can determine portions of the proxy content residing at the respective clients are uploaded to the server as early as possible as the portions are modified by the individual content editor users. In doing so, various implementation can try to ensure that the latest changes applied by individual collaborative users to the user-created content can be shared amongst other collaborative users.
In a further example, where a content editor user indicates a preference (e.g., through user settings) for server processes (e.g., rendering or conversion) to be performed on content as early as possible (e.g., as content data begins to arrive at the server from the client), the module 506 can determine that any upload of proxy or non-proxy content from the client to the server should be transferred in parts (e.g., content data chunks or segments), thereby enabling the server to commence processing of the content as the parts are received (rather than waiting for the content in its entirety).
Where the module 506 determines proxy or non-proxy content should be uploaded from the client to the server in parts, and where the server is processing those parts as they are being received, a content editor user can suspend or cancel the server processing mid-performance through the client, during which the content editor user can further modify portions of the content through the client. The portions modified during the suspension or cancellation of server processed may correspond to parts of the content that were already processed by the server before suspension or cancellation of the server processing was issued. In some implementations, the portions of the content that have already been processed by the server but are not subsequently modified by the content editor user may be reutilized to avoid unnecessary processing. Also, where the module 506 determines proxy or non-proxy content should be uploaded from the client to the server in parts, and where the server is processing those parts as they are being received, the client may begin to receive a preview of those portions already processed before all the portions have been processed by the server.
For some implementations, the determination performed by the module 506 may be based on preferences set by a content editor user at an online content editor client or preferences set by an administrator at an online content editor server. In some implementations, the online content editor client and/or the online content editor server can be configured to perform the determination of module 506 according to a preconfigured setting.
In the example of
The client-side user interface 600 includes multiple controls and other features that enable a user at a client to control the creation or modification of content at a server. In the example of
In the example of
The tabbed menu bar 602 also enables the user to select “Transitions,” which can be predefined or user-created content transitions inserted between two content items in a layer of user-created content. For instance, with respect to video content (i.e., video clips), available transitions can include a left-to-right video transition which once inserted between a first video clip and a second video clip, cause the first video clip transition to the second video clip in a left-to-right manner. Likewise, with respect to audio content (i.e., audio clips), available transitions can include a right-to-left transition which once inserted between a first audio clip and a second audio clip, causes the first audio clip to fade into to the second audio clip starting from the right audio channel and ending at the left audio channel.
As the user selects between the content types in the tabbed menu bar 602, a listing of available content matching the selected content type can be displayed to the user accordingly. In the example of
In the example of
As described herein, the content library items or the user-created content shown through the content player/viewer 606 can be of a proxy than the actual definition/quality of the content residing on the server or the content that is eventually rendered by the server. Because the proxy content requires less bandwidth when being transferred from the server to a client, some embodiments can lower the data bandwidth consumption between the client and server as content is created, edited, and previewed through the client-side user interface 600.
In the example of
In the example of
In the example of
In the example of
In some embodiments, the user can add content to a new or existing content layer of the user-created content by “dragging-and-dropping” content items from the content listing 604 into the content layering interface 614. Further, in various embodiments, the user can graphically modify a temporal position or duration of a content layer or a content item within the content layer. For instance, the user can drag-and-drop the graphically represented start or end of a content item to adjust the duration of the content item (thereby the temporal start of temporal end of the content item) in the user-created content.
The computer 702 interfaces to external systems through the communications interface 710, which may include a modem or network interface. It will be appreciated that the communications interface 710 can be considered to be part of the computer system 700 or a part of the computer 702. The communications interface 710 can be an analog modem, ISDN modem, cable modem, token ring interface, satellite transmission interface (e.g. “direct PC”), or other interfaces for coupling a computer system to other computer systems.
The processor 708 may be, for example, a conventional microprocessor such as an Intel Pentium microprocessor or Motorola power PC microprocessor. The memory 712 is coupled to the processor 708 by a bus 720. The memory 712 can be Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and can also include Static RAM (SRAM). The bus 720 couples the processor 708 to the memory 712, also to the non-volatile storage 716, to the display controller 714, and to the I/O controller 718.
The I/O devices 704 can include a keyboard, disk drives, printers, a scanner, and other input and output devices, including a mouse or other pointing device. The display controller 714 may control in the conventional manner a display on the display device 706, which can be, for example, a cathode ray tube (CRT) or liquid crystal display (LCD). The display controller 714 and the I/O controller 718 can be implemented with conventional well known technology.
The non-volatile storage 716 is often a magnetic hard disk, an optical disk, or another form of storage for large amounts of data. Some of this data is often written, by a direct memory access process, into memory 712 during execution of software in the computer 702. One of skill in the art will immediately recognize that the terms “machine-readable medium” or “computer-readable medium” includes any type of storage device that is accessible by the processor 708 and also encompasses a carrier wave that encodes a data signal.
The computer system 700 is one example of many possible computer systems which have different architectures. For example, personal computers based on an Intel microprocessor often have multiple buses, one of which can be an I/O bus for the peripherals and one that directly connects the processor 708 and the memory 712 (often referred to as a memory bus). The buses are connected together through bridge components that perform any necessary translation due to differing bus protocols.
Network computers are another type of computer system that can be used in conjunction with the teachings provided herein. Network computers do not usually include a hard disk or other mass storage, and the executable programs are loaded from a network connection into the memory 712 for execution by the processor 708. A Web TV system, which is known in the art, is also considered to be a computer system, but it may lack some of the features shown in
Some portions of the detailed description are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of operations leading to a desired result. The operations are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like.
It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussion, it is appreciated that throughout the description, discussions utilizing terms such as “processing” or “computing” or “calculating” or “determining” or “displaying” or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
Techniques described in this paper relate to apparatus for performing the operations. The apparatus can be specially constructed for the required purposes, or it can comprise a general purpose computer selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. Such a computer program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium, such as, but is not limited to, read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs), EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnetic or optical cards, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magnetic-optical disks, or any type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions, and each coupled to a computer system bus.
Although the foregoing embodiments have been described in some detail for purposes of clarity of understanding, the invention is not necessarily limited to the details provided.
