Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a videoconference system with a user interface and messaging system that can control the display of video data on the interface. The user interface has multiple display windows that can display different resolutions and frame rates, and the messaging system manages the display and transport characteristics based on individual display requirements. This allows for more flexibility and customization during videoconference sessions. Overall, the invention improves the user experience and enhances the efficiency of videoconference systems.

Problems solved by technology

Real-time interactive video requires transmission of large amounts of information with constrained delay.
One disadvantage of videoconferencing is that the transmission of real-time video can be extremely bandwidth consuming and easily deplete available network resources in some situations.
The limiting factors of a typical videoconference system are the long haul links (e.g., the WANs) between geographic locations.

Embodiment Construction

[0045] The present invention is directed to a videoconference application user interface and a messaging system for controlling parameters of the video data that is displayed on the user interface.

[0046] It is to be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms of hardware, software, firmware, special purpose processors, or a combination thereof. Preferably, the present invention is implemented as a combination of hardware and software. Moreover, the software is preferably implemented as an application program tangibly embodied on a program storage device. The application program may be uploaded to, and executed by, a machine comprising any suitable architecture. Preferably, the machine is implemented on a computer platform having hardware such as one or more central processing units (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), and input / output (I / O) interface(s). The computer platform also includes an operating system and microinstruction code. The various proc...
