US Patent:

8091109, Jan 3, 2012
Filed:

Dec 18, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/958525
Inventors:

Jian Li - San Ramon CA, US
Zhi Li - Martinez CA, US
Sun-Uk Park - Union City CA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, LP - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04N 7/173
US Classification:

725 94, 725 93, 725 95, 725 96
Abstract:

A method for redirecting video content includes receiving a video signal at the set-top box and decoding the video signal to produce unrendered video data. The unrendered video data is encoded and provided to the remote device via a wide area network. By encoding unrendered, rather than rendered, video data for transmission to the remote device, the need for an encoding device external to the set-top box is obviated.
