PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rule-based technique for adapting a videoconferencing system to current conditions of a conference session, and automatically converting the session from one conferencing technique to another on the basis of those current conditions.SOLUTION: Rules involve criteria including the number of participants, ability to use a common codec, among others. An escalation module is used to manage transition between one type of conference session and another. If a condition occurs that causes transition of the conference from one type to another, when that condition no longer applies, the conference automatically transitions back to the original conferencing type. |
