Assignee:
Polycom, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
H04N 714
US Classification:
348 1413, 348 1404, 709204
Abstract:
A personal videoconferencing system includes a videoconferencing appliance connected to a personal computer through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or similar connection. The appliance is provided with a video camera and microphone for generating local video and audio streams. The local video and audio streams are compressed by a video and audio encoder residing at the appliance, and the compressed video and audio streams are conveyed to the personal computer over the USB connection. The appliance may be further provided with an audio decoder for decompressing a remote audio stream received by the personal computer through a network interface and conveyed to the appliance via the USB connection. A video decoder, located on the personal computer, is configured to decompress the local video stream (received through the USB connection) as well as a remote video stream received through the network interface. The decompressed video streams are then sent to a monitor for display to a user.

International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709204000
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a multi-component videoconferencing system (MCVCS) may be used as a videoconferencing endpoint. The MCVCS may include a camera, microphones, speakers, and a codec. The camera and speakers may be coupled to or placed around a display. The MCVCS may send/receive signals through a network coupled to the computer system. The various functions to support the videoconference (e.g., compression and decompression of video signals) may be performed by circuitry in the camera base, codec box, and/or on the computer system. The computer system may be a laptop computer. In some embodiments, the codec functionality may be incorporated in a set-top box. In some embodiments, the components of the MCVCS may be incorporated into a unitary housing. In some embodiments, ported speakers may be used to maximize sound quality for the provided speaker size.

International Classification:
G03B 17/00
US Classification:
396428, 348169
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a High Definition (HD) camera may be controlled by one or more motors in a base of the HD camera. Cables and other components may be used to manipulate the camera lens through the side arms of the HD camera. Putting the motors in the base may reduce the size of the outer case of the HD camera and add stability. In some embodiments, images from the HD camera may be converted into a serialized stream and transported over a cable from the lens through a center shaft of the HD camera. Other components may also be used to increase the functionality of the HD camera. In some embodiments, a camera support mechanism may be provided to couple a camera to a display. The camera support mechanism may include a front lip and rear leg to hold camera in place.

International Classification:
H04N 7/14
US Classification:
348 1408, 348 1407, 348 1412, 348 1414
Abstract:
A videoconference system can automatically transmit first and second images from a local site to a remote site where the first image is a high-resolution live image and the second image may be transmitted either as a high-resolution live or still frame image. Two video streams representing the first and second images are transmitted together to the remote site within a single carrier channel. The second image is transmitted as a still image whenever the second image is static to conserve bandwidth.
