20180013982 · 2018-01-11 ·

Examples disclosed herein provide the ability for remote participants in a collaborative workspace to hear and view specified participants in a conference room. In on example, a computing device may receive streams of content from devices located in a room, and receive requests from users. As an example, each user request is for accessing a subset of the streams of content. For each user request, the computing device may join the requested subset of the streams of content into a single multimedia stream, and transmit each single multimedia stream to respective users.

VIDEO RELAY SERVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND RELATED METHODS FOR CONNECTING USERS WITH N11 SERVICES IN A VIDEO RELAY SERVICE ENVIRONMENT

Video relay services, communication systems, and methods are disclosed connecting users with N11 services in a video relay service environment. A video relay service may comprise at least one server configured to manage a customer database including customer records for audibly-impaired users of the video relay service, manage an N11 database including alternate numbers corresponding to N11 codes for a plurality of different locations defined by political boundaries, receive incoming video calls including an N11 code from a calling party, resolve the N11 code to an appropriate alternate number for an N11 service based on a political boundary for the calling party responsive to a query of the N11 database, establish a first connection between a video communication device associated with the calling party and a call assistant station associated with a sign language interpreter, and establish a second connection between the call assistant station and the N11 service.

INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, WIRELESS TERMINAL, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
20230007117 · 2023-01-05 ·

An information processing system including a video device for displaying a video and a wireless terminal for communicating with the video device and communicating with other apparatuses via a network, wherein the video device transmits video information captured by a camera and sound information collected by a microphone when reception from the wireless terminal of information pertaining to a video to be displayed is detected, and outputs the received sound information using a speaker. The wireless terminal transmits information pertaining to the video to be displayed to the video device, the other apparatuses receive the captured video information and collected sound information via the network, and transmit information pertaining to the video to be displayed and information pertaining to the sound to be outputted.

USER INTERFACE FOR MULTI-USER COMMUNICATION SESSION

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for multi-user communication sessions. In some examples, a device initiates a live stream in a communication session. In some examples, a device transitions between streaming live audio and live video. In some examples, a device enables synchronizing media playback during a live stream. In some examples, a device displays synchronized media playback and plays a reaction from a first participant of the communication session.

Camera Device, Base Unit, Computation Device and corresponding Methods and Computer Programs
20230007151 · 2023-01-05 ·

Examples relate to a camera device, to a base unit for a camera device, to a computation device, and to corresponding methods and computer programs. A camera device comprises a magnetic attachment mechanism for attaching the camera device to a display surface of a monitor. The camera device comprises a camera sensor for generating image data. The camera device comprises wireless communication circuitry for providing the image data wirelessly to a computation device.

ESTABLISHED PERSPECTIVE USER INTERFACE AND USER EXPERIENCE FOR VIDEO MEETINGS

Aspects of this present disclosure relate to hybrid conference user interface. The hybrid conference interface provides an establishing shot before the meeting begins that places meeting attendees in a specific spatial arrangement, such as in specific seats around a conference table. Upon starting the conference, the hybrid user interface renders an appropriate perspective view of the meeting that is tailored to each attendee's perspective while also being spatially consistent for the entire group of attendees. Allowing attendees to place themselves where they want gives attendees a sense of physical space that helps them stay spatially oriented relative to the other people and resources in the room.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REPRESENTING AVATAR FOLLOWING MOTION OF USER IN VIRTUAL SPACE

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to set a communication session in which a plurality of users participate through a server, generate data for a virtual space, share motion data related to motions of the plurality of users through the communication session, generate a video in which avatars following the motions of the plurality of users are represented in the virtual space, based on the motion data, and share the generated video with the plurality of users through the communication session.

Method and apparatus for adaptively encoding and decoding a quantization parameter based on a quadtree structure

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method of encoding/decoding a video, particularly a method and an apparatus for storing a quantization parameter differential value in a largest coding unit (LCU) based on quadtree splitting and adaptively predicting a quantization parameter value based on context information on neighboring CUs. Quadtree-based quantization parameter encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses effectively show information on a block having a quantization parameter differential value based on splitting information on a CU and adaptively predict a quantization parameter value using context information including a block size, block partition and a quantization parameter of a neighboring CU.

Digital zoom conferencing
11570401 · 2023-01-31 · ·

Methods, apparatuses, and techniques for security and/or automation systems are described. In one embodiment, the method including identifying a presence of a first person at a first location, capturing a first video related to the first person at the first location, and initiating an adjustment of a display of the first video based at least in part on identifying the presence of the first person.

Integrated multitasking interface for communication sessions

The techniques disclosed herein enable participants of a teleconference session to access the functionality of a number of task-related program modules while maintaining engagement with aspects of a teleconference session within a single user interface. For example, a session participant can access files, various chat discussions, various channels, calendars, emails, an operating system desktop, and other functionality of a computing device while viewing one or more video streams of a teleconference session within a unified graphical user interface. The session participant can maintain engagement with both audio and video capabilities while performing tasks, including but not limited to, selecting, viewing, and modifying content data. In some configurations, a specialized graphical user interface allows a user to view one or more video streams of the teleconference session in predetermined positions while also providing optimal access to tools for interacting with different types of content managed by a variety of modules.
