Use case

Ecommerce apps are online transaction platforms where enterprises and individuals can market and sell their products. Sellers typically produce and upload product images and videos to better showcase their products. Buyers can also upload images and videos to share feedback about their shopping experience or write product reviews. Ecommerce apps generally involve the following core needs:

Core Need	Description
Smart switch between multiple definitions	When playing a video, the optimal video definition needs to be selected intelligently based on changes in the user's network environment to ensure a smooth playback experience.
Screencapturing features	The platform needs to provide diverse ways to showcase products so as to attract more sellers. For example, the platform needs to allow sellers to generate static thumbnails to use on the homepage and generate animated thumbnails for video previews, so as to display the product content more quickly and directly.
High image quality at a low bitrate	Sellers want their videos to be available in HD and loaded quickly so their product videos can attract more consumers to browse and purchase the products.
High-quality upload from client	Consumers may use various mobile device models and want a fast and stable video upload even under poor network conditions. A poor upload experience may cause consumers to give up uploading and form negative opinions about the platform, which damages the platform’s image.
Time shifting	Consumers who enter a live shopping room during live streaming and miss previous information about a product may want to watch from an earlier time point to get more product information.
Smart product recommendations	The platform needs to intelligently analyze click counts for product videos and make recommendations to users based on the categories and tags of the products that interest them, so as to increase the purchase rates.
Reduced costs	Many live shopping video recordings need to be retained only for audit by applicable authorities, some of which will never or seldom be played back but will incur a large proportion of the storage costs.
