Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for optimizing channel bandwidth usage in a communication network from a sender. In a particular embodiment, a method provides transmitting first data on a first data channel from the sender to a receiver at a first rate that does not exceed an available amount of bandwidth on the communication network. The method further provides determining that the first data channel is attempting to transmit at a second rate that is higher than the first rate. Also, the method provides continuing to transmit the first data on the first data channel while increasing from the first rate to the second rate in increments until either the second rate is achieved or the available amount of bandwidth is reached.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for facilitating controlling a meeting between remote Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) participants. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, during a conference session wherein a plurality of head mounted displays (HMDs) are each worn by one of a plurality of participants, compiling first orientation information and first view information from a first HMD of the plurality of HMDs. The orientation information describes current orientation of the first HMD. Based on the first orientation information and the first view information, the method provides determining a first change to how video is presented the first HMD. Also, the method provides directing the first HMD to implement the first change.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detect adjunct peripherials, and coordinating their media capabilities (as a preparation to be able to signal their capabilities). The host device and the peripherials can synchronize wall clocks. The system sets up a call (or receive a call) from a remote host device, and requests the peripherials to check for network connectivity to the remote host device (connectivity check). This check can be done by using a STUN/TURN procedure. The system establishes direct connectivity between the peripherials and the remote host device and monitors lip sync by transferring RTCP messages between the host device and the peripherials and instructing display and playback periphrials/sub systems to align lip sync.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media that perform adaptive management of a media buffer. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving packets representing a media stream into the adaptive media buffer, wherein the media stream comprises a sequence of media segments structured into segment layers, and detecting loss of one or more of the packets representing one of the media segments. The method further provides estimating a round trip delay for packets between the adaptive media buffer and a sender of the media stream and determining a current depth of the media segments within the adaptive media buffer. In response to detecting the packet loss, the method provides discarding media segments within the adaptive media buffer based on the round trip delay, the current depth, and a layer of the segment layers into which each of the one or more media segments is included.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and tool for collaborating in a video conference using a non-electronically enhance whiteboard and without the use of electronically enhanced writing and/or pointing tools. An embodiment may set up a front camera to capture an overall video stream that is split into at least two video feeds, a whiteboard feed and presenter feeds. The front camera may be set up to have a depth of field and focus to capture the whiteboard and presenter as well as specific video capture settings for each feed to optimize the whiteboard or the presenter. An embodiment may capture the two feeds according to the appropriate settings and deliver the two feeds to other video conference member devices. Embodiments may add additional cameras to permit additional optimization such as eliminating whiteboard occluded areas and/or automatically selecting a presenter from a plurality of people who are in the video capture frame.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method enabling a mobile device to establish a communication channel with a device residing in the corporate network and in close physical proximity, without the requirement for a direct high speed network connection between the mobile and corporate devices. The system and method allow the mobile device tot maintain its existing network connection, with no special user/network credential access. The system and method enable an improved security control over the traffic that is transferred between the devices as these are filtered and controlled through a Firewall Traversal pairing server and not directly between devices.
