Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a network device, video from a first endpoint, analyzing the video received from the first endpoint, processing video received from a second endpoint based on the analyzed video to optimize bandwidth between the network device and the first endpoint, and transmitting the processed video to the first endpoint. An apparatus is also disclosed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving at a network device, video from a first endpoint;
- analyzing the video received from said first endpoint;
- processing video received from a second endpoint based on said analyzed video to optimize bandwidth between the network device and said first endpoint;
- and
- transmitting said processed video to said first endpoint;
- wherein the network device is located at an edge of a network comprising said first endpoint.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a video analyzer for analyzing video received from a first endpoint;
- and
- a processor for processing video received from a second endpoint based on said analyzed video to optimize bandwidth between the apparatus and said first endpoint, and transmitting said processed video to said first endpoint;
- wherein processing comprises allocating more bits to a first portion of the video than a remaining portion of the video.
1 more element
Logic encoded on one or more non-transitory computer readable media for execution and when executed operable to:
- analyze video received from a first endpoint to detect eye gaze of one or more participants at said first endpoint and identify a viewed portion of the video;
- process video received from a second endpoint based on said analyzed video to allocate more bits to said viewed portion than a remaining portion of the video;
- and
- transmit said processed video to said first endpoint.
