Abstract
The present invention concerns a method for dynamically adapting the lossy encoding of an audio and/or video stream () transmitted by a first device () to a remote device (), said method comprising the following steps: the remote device () receives and decodes said stream (), called the incoming stream, and transmits an outgoing stream () having at least one indicator relating to a state of said remote device () that is modified by the execution of the decoding of the incoming stream (); the first device () receives the outgoing stream (), extracts said at least one indicator therefrom and adapts the encoding of the incoming stream () according to said at least one extracted indicator. The method can be applied notably to video conferences conducted on the basis of self-powered terminals for the purpose of maintaining the operating period of these terminals.
