摘要:
A video conference is set up by a video conference system between three or more video terminals. Each video terminal in the video conference sends its video stream to the video conference system. The video conference system in turn sends out the video streams to video terminals to set up a video conference in the traditional manner. A video controller receives an indication of a change in how at least one of the other video terminals is displaying a video stream from one of the video terminals. Based on the indication of change, a change to the bit rate of the video stream is made. This results in the video conference system be able to send reduced bandwidth based on who is viewing the video conference.
摘要:
A method and system for allocating bandwidth among communication sessions are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes performing a first allocation to a first communication session and performing a second allocation to a second communication session. The method includes performing a reallocation of bandwidth from the first communication session to the second communication session based on a predetermined criteria.
摘要:
System and method to manage bandwidth used by an endpoint of a communication session, the method including: detecting, by a sensor coupled to a communication system transporting the communication session, an indicia of a user; inferring, by a processor of the communication system transporting the communication session, a first involvement by the user in the communication session, wherein inferring is based upon the detected indicia of the user; and modifying, by the communication system transporting the communication session, a bandwidth of the communication session based upon the first inferred involvement by the user.
摘要:
A conferencing system and method are described which enable conference participants to beam between back-to-back or concurrent conferences. Specifically, a conference participant is allowed to beam between two or more conferences by providing in-band signaling during a conference. The in-band signaling may include one or more commands to beam the conference participant between the two or more conferences without requiring the conference participant to hang up and redial the conference number.

摘要:
Once an active video conference is set up and a user is viewing the active video conference at a video terminal, the video terminal looks for different events that indicate a change in focus of the user to or from the active video conference. For example, the user brings up another application and starts using the application or the user has minimized a window that is displaying the active video conference. The video terminal sends a change of focus message based on the event to a video conference bridge or another video terminal that is streaming the active video conference to the user. The video conference bridge/video terminal processes the message and changes video portion of the stream of the active video conference based on the message. The result is that there is improved use of bandwidth between the video terminal and the video conference bridge/video terminal.
