摘要:
A teleconferencing system includes a network. The system includes a plurality of nodes, such as terminals, communicating with each other through the network with audio streams that the terminals transmit to each other to form the conference. Each terminal is able to detect an overload state where there are more than a predetermined number of simultaneous audio streams being transmitted by the terminals and together with the other terminals control the number of audio streams simultaneously being transmitted to end the overload state. A method providing a teleconference. A teleconferencing node.

A videophone (15). The videophone (15) can include an imaging mechanism (30) for taking a video picture of a scene. The videophone (15) can include a mechanism (36, 38, 42) for producing a first video stream of the scene and a second video stream of the scene from the video picture and sending the first video stream and the second video stream onto a network (40) at the same time, the producing mechanism (36, 38, 42) in communication with the imaging mechanism (30). The videophone (15) can include a mechanism (42) for receiving a plurality of video streams of different scenes from a network (40). The videophone (15) can include a mechanism (52, 54) for displaying the different scenes of the plurality of video streams alongside each other. A method for a video call.
