Patent Images
1. A method for telepresence at a mobile device comprising:
- determining, on the mobile device, a real-time availability of resources, including a current status of a battery powering the mobile device and a current bandwidth available over a wireless network;
determining, on the mobile device, a video composition and a display composition of telepresence session data based at least in part on the determined availability of resources including video capabilities and display capabilities of the mobile device, wherein determining the display composition of the telepresence session data comprises selecting a video stream composition requiring higher bandwidth upon detection of availability of a higher bandwidth wireless network connection;
transmitting, from the mobile device to a remote server, the video composition and the display composition of telepresence data;
receiving, on the mobile device, a first portion of the telepresence session data in accordance with the display composition;
transmitting, by the mobile device, a second portion of the telepresence session data in accordance with the video composition; and
,performing, on the mobile device, the first portion of the telepresence session data.

Abstract
Exemplary methods and systems relate to telepresence at mobile devices. In one example the method can be performed on the mobile device. The mobile device can determine real-time availability of resources. The mobile device can further determine the composition of the telepresence session. The mobile device can further communicate the determined composition of telepresence data to a remote server. The mobile device can further receive telepresence data and perform a portion of the telepresence session data. Additionally, the present system can be configured to operate on a server or other electronic device.
