Abstract
Systems and methods for providing camera configuration for points in a multi-point videoconference system are provided. First configuration information is determined for a first point of a multi-point videoconferencing system. Second configuration information is determined for a second point of the multi-point videoconferencing system. One or more first cameras at the first point or one or more second cameras at the second point of the multi-point videoconferencing system are reconfigured based on the first configuration information or the second configuration information.

13. A multi-endpoint videoconferencing system comprised of:
-
a first endpoint of the multi-point videoconferencing system comprised of one or more first cameras, one or more first video displays, one or more first positions, and a first presence detector, wherein first participant configuration is determined for the first endpoint; a second endpoint of the multi-point videoconferencing system comprised of one or more second cameras, one or more second video displays screens, one or more second positions, and a second presence detector, wherein second participant configuration is determined for the second endpoint; and a processor operably connected with the first presence detector and the one or more first cameras and the second presence detector and the one or more second cameras, wherein the processor is configured to determine first camera configuration and second camera configuration by; detecting first participants at the first endpoint and detect second participants at the second endpoint, determining whether each of the first positions at the first endpoint is occupied by a first participant and determine whether each of the second positions at the second endpoint is occupied by a second participant, and determining a current camera viewpoint for each of the one or more first cameras at the first endpoint and determine a current camera viewpoint for each of the one or more second cameras at the second endpoint. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
