Controlling content sharing during a tele-conferencing session
First Claim
1. A method for controlling content sharing towards a terminal during a teleconferencing session, the method comprising:
- establishing the teleconferencing session between at least a first terminal and a second terminal;
selecting, for the first terminal, a communication link having suitable link characteristics for sharing desired content during the teleconferencing session;
observing, in the first terminal, changes occurring in the link characteristics of the communication link or in internal characteristics of the first terminal;
in response to at least one predetermined parameter value of said link characteristics or said internal characteristics of the first terminal reaching a predetermined threshold, changing a conferencing capability of the first terminal.

Abstract
A method is shown for controlling content sharing towards a terminal during a teleconferencing session. The method comprises: establishing the teleconferencing session between at least a first and a second terminal; selecting, for the first terminal, a communication link having suitable link characteristics for sharing desired content during the teleconferencing session; observing, in the first terminal, changes occurring in the link characteristics of the communication link or in internal characteristics of the first terminal; in response to at least one predetermined parameter value of said link characteristics or said internal characteristics of the first terminal reaching a predetermined threshold, changing a conferencing capability of the first terminal. Optionally, an indication is then transmitted to at least one party of the teleconferencing session or to a conferencing bridge that the content sharing towards the first terminal is to be limited according to a rule included in said indication.

24. A computer program product, stored on a computer readable medium and executable in a data processing device, for controlling content sharing towards a terminal during a teleconferencing session, the computer program product comprising:
-
a computer program code section for establishing the teleconferencing session with at least a second terminal;
a computer program code section for selecting a communication link having suitable link characteristics for sharing desired content during the teleconferencing session;
a computer program code section for observing changes occurring in the link characteristics of the communication link or in internal characteristics of the first terminal; and
a computer program code section, responsive to at least one predetermined parameter value of said link characteristics or said internal characteristics of the first terminal reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold, for transmitting an indication to a conference bridge or to a party of the teleconferencing session that the content sharing towards the first terminal is to be limited according to a rule included in said indication.
