Computing system with external speaker detection feature
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- capturing, by a camera of a first computing system, video content;
transmitting, by the first computing system, the captured video content to a second computing system; and
while transmitting the captured video content to the second computing system;
receiving, by the first computing system and from the second computing system, audio content, wherein the first computing system comprises an internal speaker and an audio communication interface configured to allow the first computing system to connect with an external speaker;
making, by the first computing system, a determination of whether the external speaker is connected to the first computing system via the audio communication interface;
based on the determination, selecting, by the first computing system, an operational mode from among a set of at least two operational modes comprising a first operational mode and a second operational mode, wherein (i) when the first computing system operates in the first operational mode, the first computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and enables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker, and (ii) when the first computing system operates in the second operational mode, the first computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and disables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker; and
causing, by the first computing system, the first computing system to operate in the selected operational mode.

Abstract
In one aspect, an example method includes (i) making a determination of whether an external speaker is connected to a computing system via an audio communication interface; (ii) based on the determination, selecting an operational mode from among a first operational mode and a second operational mode, wherein (a) when the computing system operates in the first operational mode, the computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and enables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker, and (b) when the computing system operates in the second operational mode, the computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and disables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker; and (iii) causing the computing system to operate in the selected operational mode.

1. A method comprising:
-
capturing, by a camera of a first computing system, video content; transmitting, by the first computing system, the captured video content to a second computing system; and while transmitting the captured video content to the second computing system; receiving, by the first computing system and from the second computing system, audio content, wherein the first computing system comprises an internal speaker and an audio communication interface configured to allow the first computing system to connect with an external speaker; making, by the first computing system, a determination of whether the external speaker is connected to the first computing system via the audio communication interface; based on the determination, selecting, by the first computing system, an operational mode from among a set of at least two operational modes comprising a first operational mode and a second operational mode, wherein (i) when the first computing system operates in the first operational mode, the first computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and enables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker, and (ii) when the first computing system operates in the second operational mode, the first computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and disables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker; and causing, by the first computing system, the first computing system to operate in the selected operational mode. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:
-
capturing, by a camera of a first computing system, video content; transmitting, by the first computing system, the captured video content to a second computing system; and while transmitting the captured video content to the second computing system; receiving, by the first computing system and from the second computing system, audio content, wherein the first computing system comprises an internal speaker and an audio communication interface configured to allow the first computing system to connect with an external speaker; making, by the first computing system, a determination of whether the external speaker is connected to the first computing system via the audio communication interface; based on the determination, selecting, by the first computing system, an operational mode from among a set of at least two operational modes comprising a first operational mode and a second operational mode, wherein (i) when the first computing system operates in the first operational mode, the first computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and enables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker, and (ii) when the first computing system operates in the second operational mode, the first computing system disables output of the received audio content via the internal speaker and disables transmission of the received audio content via the audio communication interface for output by the external speaker; and causing, by the first computing system, the first computing system to operate in the selected operational mode. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a first computing system and from a second computing system, video content captured by the second computing system; while receiving the video content captured by the second computing system; receiving, by the first computing system, audio content; making, by the first computing system, a determination of whether an external speaker is connected to the second computing system via an audio communication interface of the second computing system; based on the determination, selecting, by the first computing system, an operational mode from among a set of at least two operational modes comprising a first operational mode and a second operational mode, wherein (i) when the first computing system operates in the first operational mode, the first computing system enables transmission of the received audio content to the second computing system for output by the external speaker, and (ii) when the first computing system operates in the second operational mode, the first computing system disables transmission of the received audio content to the second computing system; and causing, by the first computing system, the first computing system to operate in the selected operational mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
