==ADVANCED ROUTING AND REMOTE RENDERED VIDEOS LAYOUT FOR MEETING SIDE GROUP CONVERSATIONS AND VOICE ASSISTANT PROVIDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18087308 titled 'ADVANCED ROUTING AND REMOTE RENDERED VIDEOS LAYOUT FOR MEETING SIDE GROUP CONVERSATIONS AND VOICE ASSISTANT PROVIDERS

==Simplified Explanation==
The patent application describes systems and methods for routing audio and/or video streams and remote rendered video layout for conference side group conversations and voice assistant providers. It involves creating side group conversations during a main conference, inviting voice assistant providers, processing audio and video streams, and routing them to users.

* Users can create side group conversations during a main conference.
* Voice assistant providers can be invited to participate in these side group conversations.
* Different permissions can be granted to users in the subgroup to interact with the voice assistant.
* Audio and video streams are demultiplexed, decoded, processed, and routed to users.
* Rendered videos are processed based on video grouping render policies.
* The technology enables efficient management of audio and video streams in conference settings.

==Key Features and Innovation==
* Creation of side group conversations during main conferences.
* Integration of voice assistant providers into side group conversations.
* Different permissions for users interacting with voice assistants.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems and methods for routing audio and/or video streams and remote rendered video layout for conference side group conversations and voice assistant providers are disclosed. During a main conference comprising a plurality of users, a request is received to create a side group conversation comprising a subgroup of the plurality of users. A voice assistant provider is invited to the side group conversation. Users in the subgroup may be granted different permissions to query or receive responses from the voice assistant. Incoming audio and video streams from each user are demultiplexed and decoded. Decoded audio streams are processed by an appropriate audio mixer of the group and voice assistant. Decoded video streams are processed and rendered based on a video grouping render policies. Processed audio streams for each group and voice assistant and/or rendered videos are encoded and routed to each user through their dedicated multiplexer.
