Abstract
An apparatus and control method for controlling an online meeting is provided for receiving, from a camera, a captured video of the meeting room, transmitting, via a first server, the captured video of the meeting room to an online meeting client, specifying an ROI (Region Of Interest) in the meeting room, controlling an optical zoom magnification of the camera for capturing a still image of the ROI in the meeting room, and transmitting, via a second server that is different from the first server processing the captured video of the meeting room, the still image that the camera captures after the control for the optical zoom magnification to the online meeting client.
Claims15
A control apparatus for controlling an online meeting, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed, configures the one or more processors, to:
- receive, from a camera, a captured video of a meeting room;
- transmit, via a first server, the captured video to an online meeting client;
- specify an ROI (Region Of Interest) from the meeting room;
- control an optical zoom of the camera for capturing a still image of the ROI in the meeting room;
- transmit, via a second server that is different from the first server processing the captured video of the meeting room, the still image that the camera captures after the control for the optical zoom to the online meeting client.
