Dynamic detection of pause and resume for video communications

摘要

Computing devices may implement dynamic detection of pause and resume for video communications. Video communication data may be capture at a participant device in a video communication. The video communication data may be evaluated to detect a pause or resume event for the transmission of the video communication data. Various types of video, audio, and other sensor analysis may be used to detect when a pause event or a resume event may be triggered. For triggered pause events, at least some of the video communication data may no longer be transmitted as part of the video communication. For triggered resume events, a pause state may cease and all of the video communication data may be transmitted.

1. A system, comprising:
one or more audio sensors, configured to capture audio data; one or more video sensors, configured to capture image data; one or more processors; a memory comprising program instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to implement:
a video communication module, configured to:
receive a stream of video communication data for a current video communication from at least one of the audio sensors and at least one of the video sensors at a transmitting participant for transmission to one or more recipient participants of the current video communication, wherein the current video communication is a peer-managed connection between the transmitting participant and the one or more recipient participants;dynamically evaluate the stream of video communication data to detect a pause event for the transmitting participant of the current video communication; andin response to detection of the pause event, pause the current video communication for the transmitting participant such that at least some of the stream of video communication data is not transmitted from the transmitting participant to the one or more recipient participants.
