Benefits of technology
[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a device, computer program product, and a method allowing audio participants in a conventional video conference to achieve increased performance of the conference.
Problems solved by technology
However, audio and web participants will not achieve the full benefit of the conferencing capabilities when joining a traditional video conference, because of both end-point and system limitations.
Audio participants are not able to see the other participants, or data presentations, in the conference, while the video participants are not necessarily even aware of the presence of the audio participants.
This, however, provides little or no information about the participant.

Embodiment Construction
[0017] In the following, the present invention will be discussed by describing a preferred embodiment, and by referring to the accompanying drawings. However, people skilled in the art will realize other applications and modifications of the present invention.
[0018] The present invention takes advantage of the capabilities of the communication system to which the audio participants are connected, to increase the performance of all the participants in a mixed conference. There are many multimedia features in digital communication networks. An example is the Multimedia Messaging System (MMS) standardized by the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
[0019] MMS has evolved from the popularity of the SMS messaging system, and is using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). WAP is a protocol that permits mobile devices to communicate with Internet servers via the mobile radio communications network. Since displays on mobile devices are much smaller (typically, 150×150 pixels) th...

Abstract
The present invention relates to video conferencing and multimedia messaging, and takes advantage of the capabilities of the communication system to which the audio participants are connected, in order to increase the performance of all the participants in a mixed conference. In a preferred embodiment, the audio participants are provided with a MMS device, and a MMS Engine captures periodically, or at certain events, video conference data attached to MMS messages and addressed to the MMS device. In the opposite direction, the MMS device provides multimedia data to the conventional video conference participants by attaching the multimedia data to MMS messages, which are sent to the IP-addressable MMS Engine. The MMS Engine separates the multimedia data and converts it to a format compatible with the video conference. The converted multimedia data is then provided to video conference participants, and treated like any other multimedia stream included in the video conference.
