Systems and Methods for Integrating Audio and Video Communication Systems with Gaming Systems

摘要

Systems and methods for the integration of audio and video communication systems with gaming systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the audio and video communication server uses information from the game engine in order to decide which users are in virtual proximity to a particular user so that it only forwards their audio to the particular user. In another embodiment, additional audio composition streams are associated with the user's audio streams so that they are rendered at receiving endpoints with the spatial positioning intended by the game engine.

主权项

1. A system for communicating one or more signals to at least one receiving endpoint over a communication channel, wherein the one or more signal are encoded in a layered format, the system comprising:
a communication server coupled to the at least one receiving endpoint by the at least one communication channel, and a gaming server coupled to the communication server over at least one second communication channel, wherein the communication server is configured to receive the one or more signals, wherein the communication server is further configured to receive location information associated with each of the one or more signals from the gaming server over the at least one second communication channel, and wherein the communication server is further configured to select one or more layers of each of the one or more signals to forward to the at least one receiving endpoint using the location information associated with each of the one or more signals.
