    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing virtual collaboration systems are disclosed herein. A virtual collaboration system includes a distributor communicatively coupled to a first network and a second network having different network characteristics from the first network, the distributor configured to receive first media streams from at least one first network node, and to transmit the first media streams to at least one second network node; and a management subsystem adapted to dynamically configure a topology of a virtual collaborative event, wherein configuration of the topology includes a determination of media stream connections among the distributor and the at least one first network node based, at least in part, on at least one policy, and wherein the media stream connections establish and maintain virtual relationships among the at least one first network node and the at least one second network node.

    Abstract: A method of creating a synthetic bridge (100) has select data (406) logically extracted from an application layer of a first network (12A) which contains one or mroe first data streams to be transported to a second network (12B). Select data (406) is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (12B). Select data (406) is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (12B) which contains one or more second data streams to be transported to the first network (12A). The two or more first and second data streams are transported over separate sets of non-network media link interfaces (130-133) that only allow for limited information encoding and inherently prevent any network protocol information from being passed with the two or more first and second data streams until after the two or more first and second data streams are in the control of the opposite network from which they were transported.

    Abstract translation: 创建合成桥(100)的方法具有逻辑地从包含要运送到第二网络(12B)的一个或多个第一数据流的第一网络(12A)的应用层提取的选择数据(406)。 从第二网络(12B)的应用层逻辑地提取选择数据(406)。 从第二网络(12B)的应用层逻辑地提取选择数据(406),该数据包含要传输到第一网络(12A)的一个或多个第二数据流。 两个或更多个第一和第二数据流在单独的非网络媒体链路接口集合(130-133)上传输,其仅允许有限的信息编码,并且固有地防止任何网络协议信息与两个或更多个第一和第二数据流通过, 直到两个或更多个第一和第二数据流处于与之相对的网络的控制之后的第二数据流。

    Abstract: A method is described for aligning video streams and positioning cameras in a collaboration event to create a blended space. A local physical environment of one set of attendees is combined with respective apparent spaces of other sets of attendees that are transmitted from two or more remote environments. A geometrically consistent shared space is created that maintains natural collaboration cues of eye contact and directional awareness. The remote environments in the local physical environment are represented in a fashion that is geometrically consistent with the local physical environment. The local physical environment extends naturally and consistently with the way the remote environments may be similarly extended with their own blended spaces. Therefore, an apparent shared space that is sufficiently similar for all sets of attendees is presented in both the local and remote physical environments.

    Abstract: A videoconferencing system may include a conference host (130) that is associated with an environment (110) and that may detect a personal device (140) with a participant that is visiting the environment (110) during a videoconference. A video capture system (142) of the personal device (140) may then be used to provide a video stream representing the participant during the videoconference.

    Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein relate to positioning video streams from video conferencing sites. Video conference sites may be assigned a position within a display area, and a position for the video stream windows may be determined within the assigned display area for the associated video conference site. A processor may cause the video stream windows to be displayed according to the determined positions.

    Abstract: A layout for displaying videoconference video streams may be defined based on an ordered list of videoconference video streams. For example, a layout may be defined to display videoconference video streams in at least first and second vertical columns of video streams where a first two videoconference video streams in adjacent positions in an ordered list of videoconference video streams are assigned to the first column and a second two videoconference video streams in adjacent positions in the ordered list of videoconference video streams are assigned to the second column.
