Microphone Selection for Optimization of Audio Streams from Co-Located Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297324 titled 'Microphone Selection for Optimization of Audio Streams from Co-Located Devices
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where audio streams from multiple participant computing devices in a teleconference are received, and a high-quality stream is selected for broadcast to other participant devices.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Selection of the best audio stream based on signal quality information.
- Broadcast of the selected audio stream to participant devices not in the same area as the original devices.
- Utilization of historical signal quality information to improve stream selection.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in teleconferencing systems, online meetings, virtual events, and remote collaboration platforms.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures high-quality audio transmission in teleconferencing environments.
- Improves user experience by selecting the best audio stream for broadcast.
- Enhances communication and collaboration among remote participants.
Benefits:
- Improved audio quality in teleconferences.
- Seamless communication in virtual meetings.
- Enhanced user experience for remote participants.
- Efficient use of network resources.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be valuable for telecommunication companies, online meeting platforms, virtual event organizers, and companies with remote teams.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on audio stream selection algorithms in telecommunication systems and network optimization techniques for audio transmission.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to further optimize audio stream selection algorithms, improve signal quality assessment methods, and enhance the overall teleconferencing experience.
Questions about Audio Stream Selection Technology: 1. How does the system determine the best audio stream based on signal quality information? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale teleconferencing systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
Audio streams are received from participant computing devices of a participant cohort that includes a plurality of participant computing devices that are each located in a same area and are each connected to a teleconference. A first audio stream is selected from the two or more audio streams for broadcast based at least in part on signal quality information indicative of a signal quality associated with each of the two or more audio streams and/or historical signal quality information indicative of a signal quality associated with prior audio streams received from the two or more participant computing devices. The first audio stream is broadcasted to one or more participant computing devices different than the plurality of participant computing devices of the participant cohort.
