Methods, systems, and devices for bandwidth conservation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to conserve bandwidth, comprising:
- if a presence of a multimedia device is detected, delivering a stream of data to the multimedia device;
if the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, degrading the stream of data to conserve bandwidth;
storing a user degradation profile in which the user degradation profile instructs how a user desires to degrade the stream of data delivered to the multimedia device from a server in response to the presence of the multimedia device not being detected; and
consulting the user degradation profile based on the presence of the multimedia device not being detected;
wherein the user degradation profile is configured to cause the server delivering the stream of data to degrade the stream of data before the stream of data reaches the multimedia device.

8. A user electronic device, comprising:
-
means for detecting presence of a multimedia device; and a processor communicating with the means for detecting the presence of the multimedia device; the processor commanding delivery of a stream of data to the multimedia device; and if the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, the processor degrades the stream of data to conserve bandwidth; wherein the processor stores a user degradation profile that instructs how a user desires to degrade the stream of data delivered to the multimedia device from a server in response to the presence of the multimedia device not being detected; wherein the processor is configured to consult the user degradation profile based on the presence of the multimedia device not being detected; and wherein the user degradation profile is configured to cause the server delivering the stream of data to degrade the stream of data before the stream of data reaches the multimedia device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product, tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions for causing a computer to execute a method for presence detection of a multimedia device comprising:
-
if a presence of the multimedia device is detected, delivering a stream of data to the multimedia device; if the presence of the multimedia device is not detected, degrading the stream of data to conserve bandwidth; storing a user degradation profile in which the user degradation profile instructs how a user desires to degrade the stream of data delivered to the multimedia device from a server in response to the presence of the multimedia device not being detected; and consulting the user degradation profile based on the presence of the multimedia device not being detected; wherein the user degradation profile is configured to cause the server delivering the stream of data to degrade the stream of data before the stream of data reaches the multimedia device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
