==Allocating A Physical Space To A Participant For Use In Connection With A Virtual Breakout Room - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240243940 titled 'Allocating A Physical Space To A Participant For Use In Connection With A Virtual Breakout Room

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
This patent application describes a system where a computer assigns a participant of a video conference to a virtual breakout room, determines the availability of physical space for the room, allocates the physical space for use, captures the participant's image from the video stream, and displays it on a computing device in the physical space.

* The computer assigns participants to virtual breakout rooms associated with video conferences.
* It checks the availability of physical space for the virtual breakout room.
* The computer allocates the physical space for use in connection with the virtual breakout room.
* It captures the participant's image from the video stream.
* The image of the participant is displayed on a computing device in the physical space.

'''Potential Applications:'''
1. Virtual meetings and conferences.
2. Collaborative workspaces.
3. Remote team building activities.

'''Problems Solved:'''
1. Efficient organization of virtual meetings.
2. Seamless transition between main sessions and breakout discussions.
3. Enhanced participant engagement and interaction.

'''Benefits:'''
1. Improved collaboration and communication.
2. Optimal utilization of physical and virtual spaces.
3. Enhanced user experience in virtual meetings.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
