Efficient dissemination of personalized video content in resource-constrained environments

— Video streaming on mobile devices such as PDA’s, laptop PCs, pocket PCs and cell phones is becoming increasingly popular. These mobile devices are typically constrained by their battery capacity, bandwidth, screen resolution and video decoding and rendering capabilities. Consequently, video personalization strategies are used to provide these resourceconstrained mobile devices with personalized video content that is most relevant to the client’s request while simultaneously satisfying the client’s resource constraints. Proxy-based caching of video content is a proven strategy to reduce both client latencies and server loads. In this paper, we propose novel video personalization server and caching mechanisms, the combination of which can efficiently disseminate personalized videos to multiple resource-constrained clients. The video personalization servers use an automatic video segmentation and video indexing scheme based on semantic video content. The caching proxies implemen...
