Gaze-Based Copresence System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18600378 titled 'Gaze-Based Copresence System

The abstract of the patent application describes a technique for transmitting data in a copresence environment by initiating a virtual communication session between a local device and remote devices in a shared copresence environment. Each sending device transmits a sending quality data stream in the virtual communication session. The local device determines a region of interest in the copresence environment and subscribes to different quality data streams for remote devices represented in the region of interest and those not represented in it.

• Virtual communication session initiated between local device and remote devices in a copresence environment
• Sending devices transmit sending quality data streams in the virtual communication session
• Local device determines a region of interest in the copresence environment
• Subscribes to first quality data stream for remote devices in the region of interest and second quality data stream for remote devices not in the region of interest
• Enhances data transmission efficiency and relevance in a copresence environment

Potential Applications: - Collaborative work environments - Virtual meetings and conferences - Remote learning and education platforms

Problems Solved: - Efficient data transmission in copresence environments - Improved communication and collaboration among multiple devices

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience in shared virtual environments - Optimal utilization of network resources - Increased productivity and engagement in collaborative activities

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Virtual Communication Technology for Collaborative Environments This technology can be utilized in various commercial settings such as remote team collaboration tools, virtual event platforms, and online education systems. It can improve communication efficiency and data transmission quality in copresence environments, leading to enhanced user experiences and increased productivity.

Questions about Virtual Communication Technology: 1. How does this technology improve data transmission efficiency in copresence environments? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond virtual meetings and conferences?

Original Abstract Submitted

A technique for transmitting data in a copresence environment includes initiating a virtual communication session between a local device and remote devices in a shared copresence environment, where each of the plurality of sending devices are transmitting a sending quality data stream in the virtual communication session. A region of interest for the local device is determined that includes a portion of the copresence environment. The local device subscribes to a first quality data stream for the remote devices represented in the region of interest, and a second quality data stream for the remote devices not represented in the region of interest.
