System and method for role negotiation in multi-reality environments
First Claim
1. A method for role negotiation comprising:
- rendering a common field of interest that reflects a presence of a plurality of elements, wherein at least one of the elements is a remote element located remotely from another of the elements;
receiving a plurality of role designations, each role designation associated with one of a plurality of devices, wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is a remote device located remotely from another of the plurality of devices;
updating the common field of interest based upon the plurality of role designations, wherein each of the plurality of role designations defines an interactive functionality associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices;
receiving a role change request from a first device of the plurality of devices, wherein the role change request comprises a desired role and the desired role is independent of a location of the first device;
granting the role change request based upon one or more role designation rules;
updating the role designation associated with the first device to match the desired role in response to the granting the role change request;
outputting the common field of interest based on the updated role designation such that a display parameter of the common field of interest is dependent upon the updated role designation; and
establishing one or more communication links between the first device and one or more other devices of the plurality of devices, wherein the communication links are configured to facilitate one of unidirectional and multidirectional transmission based on the updated role designation associated with the first device and the role designation of at least one other of the plurality of devices;
wherein each of the role designations represents a construct that triggers a logical execution of one or more programs that, upon execution, affect one or more settings including;
the processing of image, audio, or video information presented to a user,the transmission of images, audio, and/or video presented to a user, andthe presentation of a graphical user interface presented to a user;
wherein the settings are automatically applied upon granting of the role change request;
wherein each role designation defines a transmission rule for managing ingress and egress of information associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices, wherein the transmission rule comprises one or more of a latency parameter and a bandwidth parameter;
according to the transmission rule associated with each of the plurality of role designations, outputting the managed information associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices to a display of the respective device; and
outputting the common field of interest based on the updated role designation such that a display parameter of the common field of interest is dependent upon the updated role designation.

Abstract
Provided herein are methods and systems for role negotiation with multiple sources. A method for role negotiation can comprise rendering a common field of interest that reflects a presence of a plurality of elements, wherein at least one of the elements is a remote element located remotely from another of the elements. A plurality of role designations can be received, each role designation associated with one of a plurality of devices, wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is a remote device located remotely from another of the plurality of devices. The common field of interest can be updated based upon the plurality of role designations, wherein each of the plurality of role designations defines an interactive functionality associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices.

12. A method for role negotiation comprising:
-
generating a common field of interest that reflects a presence of a plurality of elements, wherein at least one of the elements is a remote element located remotely from another of the elements; causing output of the common field of interest to a plurality of devices; receiving a plurality of role designations, each role designation associated with one of the plurality of devices, wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is a remote device located remotely from another of the plurality of devices; establishing one or more communication links between a first device and one or more other devices of the plurality of devices, wherein the communication links are configured to facilitate one of unidirectional and multidirectional transmission based on the role designation associated with the first device and the role designation of at least one other of the plurality of devices; managing one or more of ingress and egress of information to one or more of the plurality of devices based upon one or more of the plurality of role designations, wherein each of the plurality of role designations defines a transmission rule for managing ingress and egress of information associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices, wherein the transmission rule comprises one or more of a latency parameter and a bandwidth parameter, and wherein the transmission rule defines a portion of image processing to be offloaded to a proxy server; according to the transmission rule associated with each of the plurality of role designations, outputting the managed information associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices to a display of the respective device; and outputting the common field of interest based on the updated role designation such that a display parameter of the common field of interest is dependent upon the updated role designation. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for role negotiation comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory bearing instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the system at least to; generate a common field of interest that reflects a presence of a plurality of elements, wherein at least one of the elements is a remote element located remotely from another of the elements; receive a role designation; manage one or more of the ingress and egress of information based upon the role designation; update the common field of interest based upon the one or more of the ingress and egress of information; output the updated common field of interest to the display; receive a role change request from a first device of a plurality of devices, wherein the role change request comprises a desired role; grant the role change request based upon one or more role designation rules; update the role designation associated with the first device to match the desired role in response to the granting the role change request; and establish one or more communication links between the first device and one or more other devices of the plurality of devices, wherein the communication links are configured to facilitate one of unidirectional and multidirectional transmission based on the updated role designation associated with the first device and the role designation of at least one other of the plurality of devices; wherein each role designation defines a transmission rule for managing ingress and egress of information associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices, wherein the transmission rule comprises one or more of a latency parameter and a bandwidth parameter, and wherein the transmission rule defines a portion of image processing to be offloaded to a proxy server; according to the transmission rule associated with each role designation, outputting the managed information associated with the respective device of the plurality of devices to the display; and outputting the common field of interest based on the updated role designation such that a display parameter of the common field of interest is dependent upon the updated role designation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
