US Patent 7295608 System and method for communicating media signals

A media streaming system for streaming media signals is provided. The media streaming system takes a library of separate and distinct CODECs that are provided as a searchable CODEC library and used in determining specific characteristics in the media signal to identify similar sections of the signal. The media streaming system uses a computer implemented intelligence system, such as an artificial intelligence mechanism to learn and capture the unique characteristics of a sinal as the signal is being streamed. The media streaming system also compresses and decompresses the media signal as the signals are streamed from a source media to a destination device.
