ARRANGEMENT OF MULTIPLE AUDIOVISUAL STREAMS

摘要

Techniques for multi-user videoconferencing are described herein. The techniques may include receiving two or more audiovisual streams from a remote site, wherein the two or more audiovisual streams are associated with video images to be rendered at a display of a local computing device. The techniques may include rendering the video images associated with the audiovisual streams at the local display in an arrangement such that a part of one of the video images associated with the audiovisual streams is relatively more opaque than a part of a video image associated with the other audiovisual stream, wherein the arrangement of video images associated with the audiovisual streams is based on cues, the cues comprising video signals indicating activity existing within an audiovisual stream.

1. A method for multi-user videoconferencing, comprising:
receiving two or more audiovisual streams having video images from a remote site to be rendered at a display of a local computing device; and rendering video images associated with the audiovisual streams at the display in an arrangement such that a part of a video image associated with one of the audiovisual streams is relatively more opaque than a part of a video image associated with the other audiovisual stream, wherein the arrangement of video images is based on cues indicating activity associated with individual audiovisual streams, and wherein a level of opacity of the video images is determined based on an amount of the activity associated with the individual audiovisual streams.
