    Abstract: Dynamically adapting a continuous presence (CP) layout in a videoconference enhances a videoconferencing experience by providing optimum visibility to regions of interest within the CP layout and ignoring regions of no interest. Based on the CP layout, a CP video image can be built, in which a conferee at a receiving endpoint can observe, simultaneously, several other participants' sites in the conference. For example, more screen space within the CP layout is devoted to presenting the participants in the conference and little or no screen space is used to present an empty seat, an empty room, or an unused portion of a room. Aspect ratios of segments of the CP layout (e.g., landscape vs. portrait) can be adjusted to optimally present the regions of interest. The CP layout can be adjusted as regions of interest change depending on the dynamics of the video conference.

    Abstract translation: 在视频会议中动态适应连续存在(CP)布局,通过为CP布局中的感兴趣区域提供最佳可见性,并忽略不感兴趣的区域,增强了视频会议体验。 基于CP布局,可以构建CP视频图像,其中接收端点的与会者可以同时观察会议中的其他几个参与者的站点。 例如,CP布局中的更多屏幕空间专用于呈现会议中的参与者,并且很少或不使用屏幕空间来呈现空座位,空房间或房间的未使用部分。 CP布局的段的纵横比(例如,横向与纵向)可以被调整以最佳地呈现感兴趣的区域。 根据视频会议的动态,CP布局可以根据感兴趣的区域进行调整。

    Abstract: A system and method provide a rule-based technique for adapting a videoconferencing system to current conditions of a conference session, automatically converting the session from one conferencing technique to another, based on those current conditions. Rules may involve criteria including number of participants, ability to use a common codex, among others. An escalation module can be used to manage the transition between one type of conference session and another. If a condition occurs that causes transitioning the conference from one type to another, when that condition no longer applies, the conference may automatically transition back to the original conferencing type.

    Abstract: Examples hybrid topologies of a conferencing system are disclosed. An example of a hybrid topology may comprise a plurality of endpoints and a central entity. Each of said plurality of endpoints may provide its primary video stream and audio stream to said centralized entity. The centralized entity provides the primary speaker stream and the mixed audio stream to each of said plurality of endpoint participants. In addition, some of plurality of endpoint establishes low bandwidth/low resolution media streams with other of said plurality of endpoint participants for non-speaker video.
