TECHNIQUES AND SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE LIGHTING CONTROL IN VIDEO CONFERENCING
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving lighting data from a video camera in a room;
comparing the lighting data to a target model comprising a value for at least one parameter;
calculating an adjustment to make to a light in the room when the lighting data is not within a specified range of the target model; and
communicating with a lighting control system to adjust the light according to the calculated adjustment.

Abstract
Techniques to provide active lighting control for video teleconferencing systems are described. In an embodiment, a video teleconferencing (TVC) device receives lighting data from cameras in a room where a VTC is taking place. The VTC device may access lighting profiles for the lights in the room from a lighting control system. The VTC device may compare the current lighting conditions to a target model. The VTC device may use the lighting profiles to select lights to turn on or off via the lighting control system to improve the lighting. The VTC device may monitor the lighting conditions during the conference and may re-adjust the lights if a large change occurs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
