发明名称 Automated remote collaborative learning software
摘要 A method and system of automated remote collaborative learning broadcasting. A computer-based server receives a plurality of video feeds for a remote interaction. Server receives unique user identifier and bandwidth of unique user viewing a remote interaction. Unique user is identified based upon bandwidth connection as either active or passive. Local audience viewers receive the plurality of video feeds and may select a video feed among the plurality of video feeds. Local audience viewers may seamlessly switch between the plurality of video feeds based upon individual preference. Server tracks local audience viewer's video feed selection. Remote audience viewers receive single video feed determined by local audience viewer selection. Minimum video switching time must be met before switching single video feed to a new view. Video threshold automatically switches video feed based upon prolonged static view if predetermined criteria is met.

主权项 1. A computer implemented method for an automated distributed learning broadcasting, comprising: receiving a plurality of video feeds for a single remote interaction to a computer-based server; receiving bandwidth information from an end viewer; determining whether the end viewer has a high bandwidth or a low bandwidth connection based upon pre-determined bandwidth criteria; issuing a unique identifier to the end viewer associated with the bandwidth information received from the end viewer, wherein the end viewer is identified as a local audience viewer with the high bandwidth or the end viewer is identified as a remote audience viewer with the low bandwidth; responsive to the end viewer identified as the local audience viewer, sending the plurality of video feeds to the local audience viewer, wherein a single video feed is selected from the plurality of video feeds by the local audience viewer; receiving an indication of the single video feed selection from a plurality of local audience viewers; determining a most selected single video feed responsive to the indication of the single video feed selection from the plurality of local audience viewers; responsive to the end viewer identified as the remote audience viewer, sending the most selected single video feed to the remote audience viewer; and updating the most selected single video feed responsive to a determination of a new most selected single video feed.
