APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDIA CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing, by a server comprising a processor, a telepresence session for a plurality of participants;
identifying, by the server, latency network elements based on a latency test performed with respect to a plurality of network elements of a communication network that each form a portion of a potential route for transmission of telepresence session signals to the respective participants; and
performing, by the server, a latency correction with respect to a group of participants in proximity to each other, wherein the group comprises fewer participants than the plurality of participants,wherein performing the latency correction comprises providing a delay of a presentation of a telepresence configuration, configuring a route for the transmission of the telepresence session signals, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may, for example, receive a request for a telepresence seat at an event, obtain media content comprising event images of the event that are captured by an event camera system, receive images that are captured by a camera system at a user location, and provide the media content and video content representative of the images to a processor for presentation at a display device utilizing a telepresence configuration that simulates the first and second users being present at the event, where the providing of the first and second video content establishes a communication session between the first and second users. Other embodiments are disclosed.

12. A computing device comprising:
-
a memory that stores instructions; and a controller coupled to the memory, wherein the controller, responsive to executing the instructions, performs operations comprising; providing a telepresence session for a plurality of participants; identifying latency network elements based on a latency test performed with respect to a plurality of network elements of a communication network that each form a portion of a potential route for transmission of telepresence session signals to the respective participants; and performing a latency correction with respect to a group of participants in proximity to each other, wherein the group comprises fewer participants than the plurality of participants, wherein the group of participants have telepresence seats in proximity to each other, have proximity to each other in the communication network, or both, and wherein performing the latency correction comprises providing a delay of a presentation of a telepresence configuration, configuring a route for the transmission of the telepresence session signals, or a combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
