LG Electronics Receives Patent for Method to Prevent Disconnection of Audio/Video Stream in Home Network

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

LG Electronics has been assigned a patent for a method to prevent disconnection of audio/video stream in home network. The patented method, developed by Jong-Hyun Yoon, involves a server-client architecture where the server provides audio/video streams to multiple renderers simultaneously or sequentially. The method ensures that even in the absence of memory, an abnormal image is prevented from being outputted, thereby providing a seamless viewing experience to the service user.

Key Takeaways:

  • The patented method for preventing disconnection of audio/video stream in home network involves a server-client architecture where the server provides audio/video streams to multiple renderers.
  • The method includes a step where a renderer connected to a server requests A/V streams, followed by a step where the server judges whether A/V streams can be outputted in response to the request.
  • The server provides the A/V streams to the renderer sequentially or simultaneously if the A/V stream can be outputted, or outputs a server unavailability message to the renderer if the A/V stream cannot be outputted.
  • The method ensures that even in the absence of memory, an abnormal image is prevented from being outputted, thereby providing a seamless viewing experience to the service user.
  • The patent application was filed on September 23, 2003, with patent number 8,015,585.
  • Jong-Hyun Yoon, the developer of the patented method, is from Seoul, South Korea.
