Abstract
Notebook camera modules can support varying levels of resolution, which is measured in megapixels (MP). Typically, the higher the camera resolution, the more video processing power that will be required. Currently, the Image Singal Processor (ISP), through which raw images from the camera are fed through, automatically processes images at the highest resolution available, however, it can be configured to process images at a lower resolution.
Similarly, an audio processing unit can perform various features such as background noise cancellation or suppression. These features can be helpful to improve the audio quality and clarity, but they also require constant processing power, even when the user is not speaking.
This disclosure provides a mechanism to dynamically adjust the camera resolution and audio processing features of notebook users based on their level of activity in a conference call, as determined by a user participation algorithm based on various hardware input signals. The algorithm can then assign a value to each participant, indicating their priority for sending high-quality video and audio processing.
