ONLINE MEETING POSITIONINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240313991 titled 'ONLINE MEETING POSITIONINGS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a video conferencing system that uses ultra-wideband technology to enhance the conference call experience. Electronic devices communicate with a camera to determine their locations, which are then used to organize conference participants on a graphical user interface. When an electronic device detects audio input from a participant, it can request the camera to zoom in on that participant, emphasizing their presence in the conference call.

  • **Key Features and Innovation:**
   - Utilizes ultra-wideband technology for location determination.
   - Organizes conference participants based on relative locations.
   - Allows electronic devices to request camera zoom based on audio input detection.
  • **Potential Applications:**
   - Enhanced video conferencing experiences.
   - Improved participant visibility in conference calls.
   - Efficient organization of conference participants.
  • **Problems Solved:**
   - Difficulty in identifying and emphasizing conference participants.
   - Lack of efficient communication between electronic devices and cameras in conference calls.
  • **Benefits:**
   - Enhanced user experience in conference calls.
   - Improved organization and visibility of participants.
   - Streamlined communication between electronic devices and cameras.
  • **Commercial Applications:**
   - "Ultra-Wideband Video Conferencing System for Enhanced Participant Visibility and Organization"
   - This technology can be applied in various industries for virtual meetings, remote collaboration, and online events.
  • **Prior Art:**
   - Prior research on ultra-wideband technology in video conferencing systems.
   - Studies on improving participant visibility and organization in conference calls.
  • **Frequently Updated Research:**
   - Ongoing developments in ultra-wideband technology for communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

a video conferencing system including a plurality of ultra-wideband (uwb)-enabled electronic devices and a camera can facilitate a better conference call experience for participants. each electronic device can determine its relative location by performing a uwb exchange with the camera. a conference call application uses the relative locations of each electronic device to generate an ordered listing of conference participants. the electronic devices adjust a graphical user interface (gui) of conference participants based on the ordered listing. when one of the electronic devices detects an audio input from a corresponding conference participant, the electronic device can selectively provide audio information to the conference call application and request that the camera zoom to the electronic device. the camera can accordingly zoom a video input of the conference call application to emphasize the corresponding participant in the conference call.
