Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for using contextual center-of-gravity for outputting audio in collaborative environments are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a first position of a first participant and a second position of a second participant during a collaboration session; calculate a Center-of-Gravity (CoG) based, at least in part, upon the first and second positions; and output audio during the collaboration session with a level determined based upon the CoG.
Claims20
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to:
- identify a first position of a first participant and a second position of a second participant during a collaboration session;
- calculate an average distance from each participant's position to a reference location in three-dimensions using a first height of the first participant and a second height of the second participant;
- calculate a Center-of-Gravity (CoG) based, at least in part, upon the average distance;
- and
- output audio during the collaboration session with a level determined based upon the CoG.

A method, comprising:
- identifying a first position of a first participant and a second position of a second participant during a collaboration session;
- calculating an average distance from each participant's position to a reference location in three-dimensions using a first height of the first participant and a second height of the second participant;
- calculating a Center-of-Gravity (CoG) based, at least in part, upon the average distance;
- and
- outputting audio during the collaboration session with a sound volume determined based upon the CoG.
A hardware memory device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
- identify a first position of a first participant and a second position of a second participant during a collaboration session;
- calculate an average distance from each participant's position to a reference location in three-dimensions using a first height of the first participant and a second height of the second participant;
- calculate a Center-of-Gravity (CoG) based, at least in part, upon the average distance;
- and
- output audio during the collaboration session with a level determined based upon the CoG.
