Bandwidth modulation system and method

摘要

A method and computing system for monitoring an AV synchronous communication session of a user. The AV synchronous communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel. A performance characteristic is determined for the audio channel. The performance characteristic is compared to a defined audio performance threshold. If the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, the video channel is adjusted to reduce the bandwidth requirements of the video channel.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
monitoring an AV synchronous communication session of a user, wherein the AV synchronous communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel; determining a performance characteristic for the audio channel; comparing the performance characteristic to a defined audio performance threshold; and if the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, adjusting the video channel to reduce the bandwidth requirements of the video channel, wherein adjusting the video channel includes:
transferring the audio channel to a public switched telephone network if a client electronic device operated by the user of the AV synchronous communication session includes public switched telephone network capabilities; andeliminating the video channel.
