Efficient Detection of Co-Located Participant Devices in Teleconferencing Sessions - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340390 titled 'Efficient Detection of Co-Located Participant Devices in Teleconferencing Sessions

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where audio data is captured during a teleconferencing session, and co-location information is generated based on the audio data received from multiple participant computing devices.

  • Audio data is captured by a device during a teleconferencing session.
  • Second audio data is received from other participant computing devices.
  • Co-location information is generated based on the audio data received.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Capture of audio data during a teleconferencing session.
  • Generation of co-location information based on audio data from multiple participant computing devices.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in teleconferencing systems to determine the physical location of audio sources in a room.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in identifying the origin of audio sources in a teleconferencing session, improving the overall audio quality and user experience.

Benefits

  • Enhanced audio quality in teleconferencing sessions.
  • Improved user experience during remote meetings.

Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication companies can integrate this technology into their teleconferencing systems to provide better audio quality to users, leading to increased customer satisfaction and retention.

Questions about the Technology

How does this technology improve the overall teleconferencing experience?

This technology improves the overall teleconferencing experience by accurately identifying the origin of audio sources, leading to better audio quality and user engagement.

What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in teleconferencing systems?

The potential challenges in implementing this technology in teleconferencing systems may include compatibility issues with existing hardware and software, as well as the need for proper calibration and setup to ensure accurate co-location information generation.


Original Abstract Submitted

audio data is captured by a participant computing device connected to a teleconferencing session using an audio capture device associated with the device. the audio data includes audio originating from an audio source co-located with the device. subsequent to obtaining the audio data, second audio data is received that comprises second audio captured using a second audio capture devices associated with second participant computing devices connected to the teleconferencing session. based on reception of the second audio data subsequent to capture of the audio data, a determination is made that some of the second audio originates from the audio source co-located with the device. based on the determination, co-location information indicating that the device is co-located one or more of the second participant computing devices is generated.
