Defining content of interest for video conference endpoints with multiple pieces of content

An apparatus comprising:

• a network interface unit that enables communication over a network on behalf of a primary video conference system to support the primary video conference system participating in a collaboration session with one or more secondary video conference systems, the primary video conference system including a first video conference endpoint and a second video conference endpoint;
• and
• a processor coupled to the network interface unit, the processor configured to:
• detect one or more participants within a field of view of one or more cameras of the primary video conference system, the one or more cameras being associated with the first video conference endpoint and/or the second video conference endpoint;
• determine a first attention score for a first content displayed at the first video conference endpoint based on the one or more participants;
• determine a second attention score for a second content displayed at the second video conference endpoint based on the one or more participants;
• determine whether the first content and/or the second content are active content based on the first attention score and the second attention score;
• and
• send to the one or more secondary video conference systems an indication of the active content.

A non-transitory processor readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• detect one or more participants within a field of view of one or more cameras of a primary video conference system participating in a collaboration session with one or more secondary video conference systems, the primary video conference system including at least a first video conference endpoint and a second video conference endpoint, the one or more cameras being associated with the first video conference endpoint and/or the second video conference endpoint of the primary video conference system;
• determine a first attention score for a first content displayed at the first video conference endpoint based on the one or more participants;
• determine a second attention score for a second content displayed at the second video conference endpoint based on the one or more participants;
• determine whether the first content and/or the second content are active content based on the first attention score and the second attention score;
• and
• send to the one or more secondary video conference systems an indication of the active content.
