First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data;
encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate;
encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time;
transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and
blanking the transmitter during the null interval.

Abstract
In one example, a method comprises defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data, encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate, encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time, transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter, and blanking the transmitter during the null interval.

1. A method comprising:
-
defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data; encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate; encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and blanking the transmitter during the null interval. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
-
- 25. The method of claim 1, further comprising encoding and transmitting the set of frames such that the blanking of the transmitter combined with a latency time associated with decoding and demodulating the set of frames is less than a pre-defined duration associated with real-time multimedia presentation to a user.

25-1. A device comprising:
-
a multimedia encoding unit that defines a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data, encodes a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate, and encodes a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; and a transmitter unit that transmits the encoded set of frames, and blanks during the null interval.
-
-
26-2. The device of claim 25, wherein the second portion comprises a final frame of the set of frames, and the first portion comprises all frames of the set of frames except the final frame.
-
50. A device comprising:
-
means for defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data; means for encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate; means for encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; means for transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and means for blanking the means for transmitting during the null interval. - View Dependent Claims (51)

52. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause one or more processor to:
-
define a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data; encode a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate; encode a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; transmit the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and blank the transmitter during the null interval. - View Dependent Claims (53)
