2186 results about "Videoconferencing" patented technology

Videoconferencing is the conduct of a videoconference by a set of telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by simultaneous two-way video and audio transmissions. It has also been called 'visual collaboration' and is a type of groupware. Videoconferencing differs from videophone calls in that it's designed to serve a conference or multiple locations rather than individuals. It is an intermediate form of videotelephony, first used commercially in Germany during the late-1930s and later in the United States during the early 1970s as part of AT&T's development of Picturephone technology. With the introduction of relatively low cost, high capacity broadband telecommunication services in the late 1990s, coupled with powerful computing processors and video compression techniques, videoconferencing has made significant inroads in business, education, medicine and media. Like all long distance communications technologies, by reducing the need to travel, which is often carried out by aeroplane, to bring people together the technology also contributes to reductions in carbon emissions, thereby helping to reduce global warming.

Face-translator: end-to-end system for speech-translated lip-synchronized and voice preserving video generation

A neural end-to-end system is provided for the face and voice preserving translation of videos. The system is a pipeline of multiple models that produces a video of the original speaker speaking in the target language with modified lip movement to match the target speech, while preserving emphases and prosody of the original speech, and voice characteristics of the original speaker. The pipeline starts with automatic speech recognition including emphasis detection, followed by the translation model. The translated text is then synthesized by a Text-to-Speech model that recreates the original emphases in the target sentence. The resulting synthetic speech is then converted back to the original speakers' voice using a voice conversion model. Finally, to synchronize the lips of the speaker with the translated audio, a generative model generates frames of adapted lip movements which are combined with the audio to produce the final output. The disclosure further describes several use-cases and configurations that apply these techniques to video conferencing, dubbing, low-bandwidth transmission, speech enhancement and assistive technology for the hearing impaired.

Artificial intelligence (AI) system for handling a query about a conversation in a videoconferencing meeting

Some examples involve an artificial intelligence (AI) system for handling a query about a conversation, such as a conversation between attendees of a videoconferencing meeting. As one example, the system can receive a query from a user about a conversation between attendees of a videoconferencing meeting. The system can determine a relevant portion of the conversation based on the query, determine an intent of the query by providing the query as input to an intent detection model, and select a machine-learning model from among a group of machine-learning models based on the intent of the query. The system can then provide the relevant portion of the conversation as input to the selected machine-learning model. The machine-learning model can generate an output based on the relevant portion of the conversation. The system can transmit the output to the user in a response to the query.
