Patent number: 9955119Abstract: A multimedia conference broadcast system may include one or more processors and a memory. The one or more processors may receive video streams and audio streams from participant devices. The one or more processors may transmit, to each of the participant devices, the video streams and the audio streams corresponding to the other devices. The one or more processors may receive a request to broadcast the video streams and the audio streams from one of the participant devices. The one or more processors may generate a composite multimedia stream based on the video streams and the audio streams received from the participant devices.

Patent number: 9519792Abstract: A method and computing system for receiving a plurality of discrete audio signals from a plurality of participants of a synchronous communication session. The plurality of discrete audio signals are combined to form a composite audio signal. At least a portion of the composite audio signal is divided into a plurality of sequential time slices. The plurality of sequential time slices are processed to identify one or more copyright-infringing time slices. The one or more copyright-infringing time slices are associated with a copyright infringing participant chosen from the plurality of participants of the synchronous communication session.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Matthew J.

Patent number: 9380267Abstract: A method and computing system for monitoring an AV synchronous communication session of a user. The AV synchronous communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel. A performance characteristic is determined for the audio channel. The performance characteristic is compared to a defined audio performance threshold. If the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, the video channel is adjusted to reduce the bandwidth requirements of the video channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Matthew J. Leske, Serge Lachappelle

Patent number: 9344677Abstract: A method and computing system for defining a group of participants for a videoconference. A request is received from a first participant of the videoconference to initiate an image capture utility, wherein the first participant is included within the group of participants. At least a portion of the group of participants is notified of the intent of the first user to initiate the image capture utility.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Matthew J. Leske, Christopher P. D. Johnson, Jeremy Ng, Kathryn Cushing

Patent number: 9154491Abstract: A method and computing system for establishing a broadcast account for a user of an internet-based broadcasting system. An initial trust level is assigned to the broadcast account. The initial trust level is chosen from a plurality of predefined trust levels. A trust score is determined for the broadcast account. The trust score is based, at least in part, upon one or more activities of the user. The initial trust level is adjusted based, at least in art, upon the trust score.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Matthew J. Leske
