  • Publication number: 20260129396
    Abstract: An audiovisual system uses a spatial position detection module to process audio signals and determine the location and orientation of a speaking participant. Based on this data, the system dynamically controls sensors to optimize audio and video capture. Behavioral and contextual information may also be used to train intelligence models for improved system performance. Further, sensor arrays may be utilized to identify gaze vectors of participants to select a camera sensor of the sensor array. Meeting content collected with the sensor array may be organized into meeting metrics in accordance with an analytics strategy before training an intelligence module with the meeting metrics. Meeting content may also be configured into digital tiles in accordance with a tile strategy. At least one of the digital tiles may be altered in response to a meeting condition detected by the sensor array.

  • Publication number: 20260128919
    Abstract: A conferencing system may position a sensor array in a meeting space and detect, with the sensor array, an activity of a participant present in the meeting space. A computing device connected to the sensor array may assign at least one identifier to describe the activity prior to characterizing the at least one identifier as a behavioral context. In response to the behavioral context, the computing device may alter at least one operational parameter of the sensor array.

  • Patent number: 12592997
    Abstract: Described are techniques for video bridging for conversion of IP network video streams to the USB Video Class (UVC). The conversion of IP video to UVC video can include the use of software-only conversions and hardware assisted conversions, and can be done within purpose-built “conversion” devices or as software only solutions operating within applications or drivers within the operating systems of the “end nodes”. The end-nodes simultaneously see and use multiple USB UVC video sources. The conversion process can also convert the USB UVC video control protocol to IP Video Stream control protocols.

  • Publication number: 20250323964
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method remotely facilitates exchange of multimedia signals over a network in a teleconferencing environment. The method includes, with a computing device, in real time: receiving input internet protocol (IP) signals from a first peripheral over the network via an IP interface of the computing device; transmitting the input IP signals, via a virtual hardware bridge, to an RTSP server of a virtual display running on the computing device; receiving one or more output IP signals from a teleconferencing application running on the computing device via the virtual hardware bridge; and transmitting the output IP signals to a second peripheral over the network via the network connection.

  • Publication number: 20250292437
    Abstract: A conferencing system may connect a processing unit to a camera and a microphone in a meeting room. A calibration module of the processing unit may generate a calibration strategy prior to obtaining video data from the camera, with the processing unit, in accordance with the calibration strategy. The processing unit may then translate the video data into spatial data that is utilized by a mapping module of the processing unit to identify a physical location of the microphone in the meeting room. The calibration module may determine a field of view operating parameter of the camera in response to the spatial data.
