MAINTAINING AUDIO VIDEO CONFERENCE CONTINUITY

摘要

A computing device receives session description protocol (SDP) information including network parameters, from a plurality of client devices participating in an audio-video conference hosted by a primary conference host. The computing device selects a secondary conference host from the plurality of client devices. In response to receiving the SDP information from the plurality of client devices, the computing device sends a reply, including network parameter information identifying the secondary conference host, to the plurality of client devices of the audio-video conference. The computing device determines a failure of the primary conference host, wherein the failure is based, at least in part, on a violation of a threshold limit of a transmission rate of the primary conference host, and in response to determining the failure, the computing device sends information to activate the secondary conference host as the audio-video conference host, to the plurality of client devices.

主权项

1. A method for maintaining an audio-video conference, the method comprising:
a computing device, receiving session description protocol information from a plurality of client devices participating in an audio-video conference hosted by a primary conference host; the computing device selecting a client device as a secondary conference host from the plurality of client devices participating in the audio-video conference, based on client endpoint user profiles of the plurality of client devices participating in the audio-video conference; in response to receiving the session description protocol information from the plurality of client devices, the computing device sending a reply, including network parameter information identifying the secondary audio-video conference host, to the plurality of client devices participating in the audio-video conference; the computing device determining a violation of a threshold limit of a transmission rate of the primary conference host affecting the audio-video conference; and in response to determining the violation of the threshold limit of the transmission rate, the computing device sending information associated with activating the secondary conference host as a host of the audio-video conference, to the plurality of client devices participating in the audio-video conference, and sending the protocol information of the audio-video conference prior to the failure, to the client device selected as the secondary conference host.
