ADVANCED ROUTING AND REMOTE RENDERED VIDEOS LAYOUT FOR MEETING SIDE GROUP CONVERSATIONS AND VOICE ASSISTANT PROVIDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214231 titled 'ADVANCED ROUTING AND REMOTE RENDERED VIDEOS LAYOUT FOR MEETING SIDE GROUP CONVERSATIONS AND VOICE ASSISTANT PROVIDERS
The patent application describes systems and methods for routing audio and/or video streams and remote rendered video layout for conference side group conversations and voice assistant providers.
- Request received to create a side group conversation during a main conference with a subgroup of users.
- Voice assistant provider invited to the side group conversation.
- Users in the subgroup may have different permissions to interact with the voice assistant.
- Incoming audio and video streams demultiplexed and decoded.
- Processed audio streams by appropriate audio mixer of the group and voice assistant.
- Processed video streams rendered based on video grouping render policies.
- Processed audio streams and/or rendered videos encoded and routed to each user through their dedicated multiplexer.
- Potential Applications:
- Conference calls with side group conversations - Voice assistant integration in group discussions - Remote collaboration with customized permissions for users
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient routing of audio and video streams in group conversations - Seamless integration of voice assistants in conference settings - Customized permissions for users in subgroup conversations
- Benefits:
- Enhanced collaboration and communication in group discussions - Improved user experience with voice assistant integration - Streamlined audio and video routing for efficient communication
- Commercial Applications:
The technology can be used in telecommunication systems, virtual meetings platforms, and conference call services to enhance user experience and streamline communication processes.
- Prior Art:
Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research papers on audio/video stream routing in group conversations, voice assistant integration in conference calls, and remote collaboration tools.
- Frequently Updated Research:
Researchers may be exploring advancements in audio/video processing algorithms, voice assistant technologies, and group communication systems to further improve the efficiency and user experience of such technologies.
- Questions about the Technology:
1. How does the technology differentiate permissions for users in subgroup conversations? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating voice assistants in group discussions?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for routing audio and/or video streams and remote rendered video layout for conference side group conversations and voice assistant providers are disclosed. during a main conference comprising a plurality of users, a request is received to create a side group conversation comprising a subgroup of the plurality of users. a voice assistant provider is invited to the side group conversation. users in the subgroup may be granted different permissions to query or receive responses from the voice assistant. incoming audio and video streams from each user are demultiplexed and decoded. decoded audio streams are processed by an appropriate audio mixer of the group and voice assistant. decoded video streams are processed and rendered based on a video grouping render policies. processed audio streams for each group and voice assistant and/or rendered videos are encoded and routed to each user through their dedicated multiplexer.
