Patent number: 9591263Abstract: A video conference client device comprises a communication unit configured to receive a first media stream representing a recorded video conference and further configured to receive meta data related to the first media stream, the meta data representing events in the video conference, a processing unit connected to the communication unit and configured to carry out a concatenation process during which at least a part of the first media stream and at least a part of the meta data are concatenated into a video signal, and a man machine interface unit connected to the processing unit. The man machine interface unit comprises a display unit configured to display the video conference and an input unit configured to generate a video conference navigation signal. The use of the video conference navigation signal and the meta data enables a user to easily navigate through the history of the video conference.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Johannes Willig, Laurits Hamm, Matthias Schreiber

Patent number: 9479735Abstract: A video conferencing technique is described. A video conference client device implementing the technique comprises a communication unit configured to receive a first media stream representing a recorded video conference and further configured to receive meta data related to the first media stream, the meta data representing events in the video conference, a processing unit connected to the communication unit and configured to carry out a concatenation process during which at least a part of the first media stream and at least a part of the meta data are concatenated into a video signal, and a man machine interface unit connected to the processing unit. The man machine interface unit comprises a display unit configured to display the video conference on the basis of the video signal and an input unit configured to generate, based on an input, a video conference navigation signal. The processing unit is configured to control play out of the video signal in dependence on the video conference navigation signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Johannes Willig, Laurits Hamm, Matthias Schreiber

Patent number: 9143728Abstract: A device for use in a multimedia conferencing system comprises an audio analysis processor (340), a session type classification processor (310) and a user interface controller (300). The audio analysis processor (340) is configured to analyze audio data of a communication session with multiple participating endpoints. The session type classification processor (310) is configured to determine a type of the communication session on the basis of the analysis of the audio data. The user interface controller (300) is configured to control a representation of the endpoints in a user interface on the basis of the determined type of the communication session, e.g., by sending control data (CD) to the endpoints.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Frank Hartung, Laurits Hamm, Markus Kampmann

Publication number: 20150032857Abstract: A Mixer and a Method for providing media streams towards a plurality of endpoints, the media streams originating from one or more media source(s). Within the method at least a first request set of a first endpoint of said plurality of endpoints and a second request set of a second endpoint of said plurality of endpoints are received, whereby a request set comprises information relating to at least a subset of one or more codec parameters, and whereby a request set pertains to a media stream, whereby said first request set and said second request set pertain to a same media content. The received first request set and second request set are aggregated into an aggregated request set pertaining to a first media source. Thereafter one or more media stream(s) according to said aggregated request set are requested from said first media source.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2012Publication date: January 29, 2015Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (PUBL)Inventors: Laurits Hamm, Bo Burman, Frank Hartung, Markus Kampmann, Magnus Westerlund
