DYNAMIC VIDEO AND SOUND ADJUSTMENT IN A VIDEO CONFERENCE

摘要

Dynamic focus and adjustment on one or more participants of a video conference. One or more key participants of the video conference are designated. The key participant or participants are then identified at their corresponding site from video images obtained from their site. A determination is made that another participant at the site is a focus target of the video conference. The video images obtained from the site are modified to include both the other participant and the key participant while the other participant is the focus target. Thus, focus is maintained at least on the key participant at the site, even when the focus target is a participant other than the key participant.
