Augmented reality/mixed reality streaming using 5g technology
The patent US12045940B2 outlines a method and device for streaming media content that incorporates augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) functionalities. The method begins with selecting media content that includes a full scene description and choosing a 5th generation media streaming downlink (5GMSd) application server to facilitate the streaming. A simplified scene description is derived from the full scene description, and an AR/MR session is created based on this simplified version. This process involves a double loop call flow, where the inner loop streams media objects from the simplified scene, while the outer loop updates the inner loop to include additional media objects from the full scene description.
Further claims detail the selection process for the 5GMSd application server, which may involve deriving key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure optimal server choice. The method also includes providing a list of suitable edge application servers (EASs) and selecting one from this list. Additionally, during the streaming session, the system can receive updated pose information and pre-render the media content accordingly. The patent also describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions for executing these methods, ensuring that the device can effectively manage the streaming and AR/MR session creation processes.
