Publication number: 20260342941Abstract: Camera systems for generating video output streams featuring participants of a meeting are disclosed. The camera systems include one or more cameras configured to each output an overview video stream of the meeting environment. The camera systems include at least one processing unit. The at least one processing unit is configured to analyze the overview video streams to generate meta information characterizing a meeting environment represented in the overview video streams. The at least one processing units then analyze the meta information to generate commands or rulesets for generating a sequence of video output streams adapted to the current meeting context. The camera systems may utilize generative artificial intelligence models to analyze the meta information and generate the commands or rulesets.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2026Publication date: October 29, 2026Applicant: HUDDLY ASInventors: Stein Ove ERIKSEN, Vegard HAMMER, Odd Bjarte HAGENES, Stian SELBEK, Mona Kleven LAURITZEN, Lars HEIMDAL

Patent number: 12615346Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for analyzing video output streams and generating a primary video stream may be provided. Embodiments may include a video conferencing camera configured to generate a video output representative of an environment. The video conferencing camera may comprise a video processing unit configured to determine, for a plurality of subjects represented in the video output, whether each of the plurality of subjects is inside or outside of a meeting region within the environment. The video processing unit may be further configured to determine a frame configuration for a primary video stream, constituting a portion of the video output, to be shown on a display based on one or more characteristics of at least one subject, among the plurality of subjects, determined to be located inside the meeting region.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 28, 2026Assignee: HUDDLY ASInventors: Bendik Kvamstad, Jon Tore Hafstad, Lars Erling Stensen, Stian Selbek, Therese Byhring, Anders Skibeli Rokkones, Lars Heimdal, Trym Nordal, Robin Andlauer

Publication number: 20250343987Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, multi-camera video conferencing systems may be provided. The multi-camera video conferencing systems may comprise at least one tracking unit including one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to receive a plurality of video streams from a plurality of cameras included in the video conferencing system and automatically generate spatial positioning information relative to the plurality of cameras included in the video conferencing system. The one or more processors may be further configured to select, based on the spatial positioning information, a particular video stream of the plurality of video streams as a source of a framed representation of a common meeting participant or a common object and output the particular video stream as a primary video stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2024Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Vegard HAMMER, Lars HEIMDAL

Publication number: 20250336233Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for analyzing video output streams and generating a primary video stream may be provided. Embodiments may include automatically analyzing a first video output stream and a second video output stream, based on at least one identity indicator, to determine whether a first representation of a meeting participant and a second representation of a meeting participant correspond to a common meeting participant. Disclosed embodiments may involve evaluating the first representation and the second representation of the common meeting participant relative to one or more predetermined criteria. Embodiments may involve selecting, based on the evaluation, either the first video output stream or the second video output stream as a source of a framed representation of the common meeting participant to be output as a primary video stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2025Publication date: October 30, 2025Applicant: Huddly ASInventors: Jon Tore HAFSTAD, Lars HEIMDAL, Lars Erling STENSEN, Tamás BECSEI, Stian SELBEK, Vegard HAMMER, Knut Helge TEPPAN
