1. A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device; and
at least one application executable in the at least one computing device, wherein when executed the at least one application causes the at least one computing device to at least;
predict a temporary lapse of attention by a user to a video stream; and
adjust an encoding of the video stream from an initial state to a conservation state in response to predicting the temporary lapse of attention, wherein the conservation state is configured to conserve at least one resource used for the encoding of the video stream relative to the initial state.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for adjusting the encoding of a video signal into a video stream based on user attention. A temporary lapse of attention by a user is predicted. The encoding of the video signal into the video stream is adjusted from an initial state to a conservation state in response to predicting the temporary lapse of attention by the user. The conservation state is configured to conserve one or more resources used for the video stream relative to the initial state.

10. A method, comprising:
-
sending, by at least one computing device, a video stream to a client computing device; determining, by the at least one computing device, that an input from the client computing device has decreased; and adjusting, by the at least one computing device, an encoding of the video stream from an initial state to a conservation state based at least in part on determining that the input from the client computing device has decreased, wherein the conservation state is configured to conserve at least one resource used for the encoding of the video stream relative to the initial state. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, wherein when executed the program causes the at least one computing device to at least:
-
send a video stream to a client computing device associated with a user; receive that an indication from the client computing device that the user is idle; and adjust an encoding of the video stream from an initial state to a conservation state based at least in part on the indication from the client computing device that the user is idle, wherein the conservation state is configured to conserve at least one resource used for the encoding of the video stream relative to the initial state. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
