Abstract
An intelligent sensor assisted system that dynamically adapts to the video streaming needs of a network or sub networks of users in order to facilitate collaboration. This automated audio/video distribution system includes an identifier detector that allows the system to intelligently activate the cameras/audio devices located at a zone according to the user's needs. The system detects an identifier that is associated with a user. The system identifies all users in the cyberspace associated with the identifier. The system captures the audio/video of the user's activities at the zone. The system then transmits the audio/video feed to remote users in the cyberspace who share the same identifier.
Claims14
A system for transmitting audio/video captured data captured by an audio/video capture device over a network to a remote recipient by a computing device, the system comprising:
- an identifier associated with the remote recipient;
- an identifier detector detecting the identifier;
- the computing device associating the data captured by the audio/video capture device with the detected identifier;
- the computing device identifying at least one remote recipient associated with the detected identifier;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the captured data to the remote recipient across the network;
- a second identifier detector associated with a second zone, the second identifier detector detecting the identifier;
- the computing device associating the data captured by the audio/video capture device directed at the second zone with the identifier detected by the second identifier detector;
- the computing device transmitting the audio/video data of the second zone to the remote recipient associated with the identifier detected by the second identifier detector.
A system for transmitting audio/video data over a network to a remote user by a computing device, the system comprising:
- an identifier associated with the remote user;
- a first zone identifying an area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a first identifier detector for detecting the identifier in the first zone;
- a first audio/video capture device capturing audio or video occurring at the first zone;
- a second zone identifying an area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a second identifier detector for detecting the identifier in the second zone;
- a second audio/video capture device capturing audio or video occurring at the second zone;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the audio/video data of the zone in which the identifier is detected to the remote user associated with the detected identifier.
A system for transmitting audio/video data over a network to a first remote user and a second remote user by a computing device, the system comprising:
- a identifier that identifies a first user;
- a second identifier that identifies a second user;
- a first zone identifying a first area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a first identifier detector for detecting at least one of the identifiers in the first zone;
- a first audio/video capture device capturing audio or video occurring at the first zone;
- a second zone identifying a second area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a second identifier detector for detecting at least one of the identifiers in the second zone;
- a second audio/video capture device capturing audio or video occurring at the second zone;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the audio/video data of the zone in which the identifier is detected to the user associated with the detected identifier.
A system for transmitting audio/video captured data captured by an audio/video capture device over a network to a remote recipient by a computing device, the system comprising:
- an identifier associated with the remote recipient an identifier detector detecting the identifier;
- the computing device associating the data captured by the audio/video capture device with the detected identifier;
- the computing device identifying at least one remote recipient associated with the detected identifier;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the captured data to the remote recipient across the network;
- a second identifier that identifies a second recipient;
- a priority ranking assigned to the first identifier and the second identifier wherein the first identifier is assigned priority over the second identifier;
- wherein the identifier detector detects the first identifier and the second identifier;
- the computing device transmitting the captured data to the first recipient without transmitting the captured data to the second recipient.
A system for transmitting audio/video captured data captured by an audio/video capture device over a network to a remote recipient by a computing device, the system comprising:

- an identifier detector detecting the identifier;
- the computing device associating the data captured by the audio/video capture device with the detected identifier;
- the computing device identifying at least one remote recipient associated with the detected identifier;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the captured data to the remote recipient across the network;
- a second identifier that identifies a second recipient;
- a priority ranking assigned to the first identifier and the second identifier wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are assigned the same priority;
- wherein the identifier detector detects either the first identifier or the second identifier;
- the computing device transmitting the captured data to the first recipient and the second recipient.
