Priority controlled transmission of multimedia streams via a telecommunication line
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting multimedia streams via at least one telecommunication line, each multimedia stream having at least two substreams, with at least one of the substreams having an attribute for controlling the priority of at least one of the multimedia streams, the method comprising:
- a. continuously detecting changes in attributes of the substreams;
b. providing a scale of priorities for the active transmission of the multimedia streams;
c. dynamically changing the priority status of each multimedia stream according to the change of at least one of the attributes; and
d. actively transmitting only those of the multimedia stream(s) with the highest priority level(s).

Abstract
Disclosed are a method, a system and a device for the transmission of multimedia streams via telecommunication lines. Especially, the disclosure relates to information transfer in video or audio teleconferences. The invention provides a scale of priorities for active transmission of the streams, wherein the priority status of each stream is changed dynamically with respect of attributes of substreams of the multimedia streams. Only the streams with the highest priority levels are actively transmitted.
