Media streaming of web content data
First Claim
1. A method for serving a web component stream, comprising:
- receiving the web component stream having at least two different media samples wherein each sample has a different time distribution of clean points due to varying component or media sample size;
receiving a playback request from a client for said web component stream, said playback request including a requested bandwidth from the client; and
delivering said web component stream to said client according to the different time distribution of clean points, said web component stream having the requested bandwidth in either a single stream implementation or a single file implementation and wherein said media samples have the requested bandwidth and are contiguous to each other such that the single stream implementation has a constant aggregate bandwidth and such that the single file implementation has a constant aggregate bandwidth.

Abstract
Methods for streaming web content data via a computer-readable medium. The web content data comprises one or more media samples. The media samples are encoded in a streaming media format as a web component stream. The web component stream is combined with other component streams comprising additional data other than web content data into a presentation stream. The presentation stream is transmitted via a media server to a client. Rendering commands, which are included in one or more rendering samples encoded in the web component stream along with the media samples, coordinate synchronization between the media samples and the additional data when the client renders the presentation stream.

7. A method for streaming web content data from a first computer to a second computer connected to the first computer via a media server, comprising:
-
encoding, on the first computer, web content data comprising a media sample into a web component stream, and either combining said web component stream, along with any other component stream comprising additional data other than web content data, into a presentation stream or grouping said web component stream, along with any other component stream comprising additional data other than web content data into a presentation file; delivering said presentation stream or said presentation file from the first computer to the media server; requesting, from the second computer to the media server, a playback request including a requested bandwidth for said presentation stream or said presentation file; delivering, from the media server to the second computer, the presentation stream or the presentation file based on said playback request at the requested bandwidth wherein media samples with the presentation stream or the presentation file are contiguous to each other and wherein the presentation stream or the presentation file has a constant aggregate bandwidth; retrieving, on the second computer, the media sample from the web component stream included in the presentation stream or the presentation file; and rendering the media sample on the second computer. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
