DYNAMICALLY ASSIGNING PARTICIPANT VIDEO FEEDS WITHIN VIRTUAL CONFERENCING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18625741 titled 'DYNAMICALLY ASSIGNING PARTICIPANT VIDEO FEEDS WITHIN VIRTUAL CONFERENCING SYSTEM
The present disclosure involves a system for dynamically assigning participant video feeds within a virtual conferencing system.
- The program and method provide an interface for configuring a set of rooms with different numbers of participant video elements.
- User input for setting properties for the set of rooms is received via the interface.
- The system determines the number of participants for a room during virtual conferencing.
- A room is selected based on the number of participants, and the first room is displayed.
- Participant video feeds are assigned to each participant in the room based on their respective participant video elements.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in virtual meetings, webinars, online classrooms, and other virtual events where assigning participant video feeds dynamically is essential.
Problems Solved: This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing participant video feeds in virtual conferencing systems, ensuring a seamless and organized experience for all participants.
Benefits: The system optimizes the use of participant video feeds, enhances the visual representation of participants in virtual spaces, and improves overall user experience during virtual conferencing.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be valuable for companies offering virtual conferencing solutions, educational institutions conducting online classes, and organizations hosting virtual events.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience in virtual conferencing? 2. What are the key features that set this system apart from traditional methods of assigning participant video feeds?
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for dynamically assigning participant video feeds within a virtual conferencing system. The program and method provide, in association with designing a virtual space for virtual conferencing, an interface for configuring a set of rooms, each room being associated with a different number of participant video elements assignable to respective participant video feeds; receive, via the interface, an indication of user input for setting properties for the set of rooms; determine, in association with virtual conferencing, a first number of participants for a room; select a first room corresponding to the first number of participants; provide display of the first room; and assign, for each of the first number of participants, a participant video feed corresponding to the participant with a respective participant video element in the first room.
