  • Patent number: 10931919
    Abstract: A video conference system, a video conference apparatus and a video conference method are provided. The video conference system includes a video conference apparatus and a display apparatus. The video conference apparatus includes an image detection device, a sound source detection device, and a processor. The image detection device obtains a conference image of a conference space. When the sound source detection device detects a sound generated by a sound source in the conference space, the sound source detection device outputs a positioning signal. The processor receives the positioning signal, and determines whether a real face image exists in a sub-image block of the conference image corresponding to the sound source according to the positioning signal to output the image signal. The display apparatus displays a close-up conference image including the real face image according to the image signal.
