Systems and methods for managing teleconference participant mute state

摘要

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for managing a mute state of a participant in a teleconference may include detecting, based on analysis of at least one characteristic of audio data received from a microphone associated with the participant or image data received from a camera associated with the participant, whether the participant is attempting to speak to other teleconference participants. The method may also include providing an alert to the participant in response to a detecting that the participant is attempting to speak to other conference participants while the microphone is muted.

主权项

1. A method for managing a mute state of a participant in a teleconference, comprising:
detecting, based on analysis of at least one characteristic of audio data received from a microphone associated with the participant or image data received from a camera associated with the participant, whether the participant is attempting to speak to other teleconference participants, wherein detecting whether the participant is attempting to speak to other teleconference participants comprises:
in each of multiple processing cycles, analyzing a frame of at least one of the image data and the audio data to indicate whether in each cycle, that the participant is attempting to speak to other teleconference participants; andapplying a hysteresis to the analysis of the frames, such that detecting that the participant is not attempting to speak occurs if, within a particular trailing number of processing cycles, the number of cycles in which analysis indicates that the participant is not attempting to speak to teleconference participants exceeds the number of cycles in which analysis indicates that the participant is attempting to speak to teleconference participants by at least a predetermined threshold; and modifying the audio data to prevent transmission of audio to other teleconference participants in response to a detecting that the participant is not attempting to speak to other teleconference participants while the microphone is unmuted.
