Abstract

See full text

A system and method for controlling multi-party communication during video conferences communicatively connects with at least two participating terminals, each manned by one participant in the conference. A voice acquisition module acquires speech and video at each participating terminal. A recognition module acquires information as to an action state of a participant in the video and audio of what participant is saying, and determines whether the action of participant includes speaking movements and whether the audio includes what is being said by the participant. A control module can control the volume of other participating terminals and adjust the volumes of microphones of simultaneous speakers, to be louder, fainter, or muted, depending on assigned priority of each participant, for orderly control of conferences and as an overall recording.
