Method and system for video teleconferencing management

A computing device configured to implement an execution of a method for providing participant status to facilitate video teleconferencing management, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• and
• a communication interface coupled to each of the processor and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a starting indication that a video teleconference has been initiated, the video teleconference including a plurality of participants;
• generate at least one video histogram for each of the plurality of participants by causing the processor to:
• capture an image for each of the plurality of participants;
• extract a representation of distributed numerical data from the captured image;
• and
• generate the at least one video histogram based on the representation;
• capture at least one audio signature for each of the plurality of participants by causing the processor to:
• associate an audio signal with each of the plurality of participants;
• and
• deterministically generate the at least one audio signature for each of the plurality of participants from the corresponding audio signal;
• determine, in real-time, a status for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding at least one video histogram and the corresponding at least one audio signature, the status relating to a connectivity status for the video teleconference;
• generate an indicator for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding status, the indicator including a graphical indicator;
• and
• display, via a graphical user interface, the indicator for the plurality of participants, the graphical user interface corresponding to the initiated video teleconference.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for providing participant status to facilitate video teleconferencing management, the storage medium comprising executable code which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• receive a starting indication that a video teleconference has been initiated, the video teleconference including a plurality of participants;
• generate at least one video histogram for each of the plurality of participants by causing the processor to:
• capture an image for each of the plurality of participants;
• extract a representation of distributed numerical data from the captured image;
• and
• generate the at least one video histogram based on the representation;
• capture at least one audio signature for each of the plurality of participants by causing the processor to:
• associate an audio signal with each of the plurality of participants;
• and
• deterministically generate the at least one audio signature for each of the plurality of participants from the corresponding audio signal;
• determine, in real-time, a status for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding at least one video histogram and the corresponding at least one audio signature, the status relating to a connectivity status for the video teleconference;
• generate an indicator for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding status, the indicator including a graphical indicator;
• and
• display, via a graphical user interface, the indicator for the plurality of participants, the graphical user interface corresponding to the initiated video teleconference.
