Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A teleconferencing system, comprising:
a processor;
an image capture device configured to capture a series of visual data frames for processing by the processor;
a memory configured to store one or more visual data frames;
a network interface configured to transmit visual data frames to a remote endpoint;
a data bus coupled to the processor, the image capture device, the network interface, and the memory; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium, coupled to the data bus, and storing computer program code executable by the processor,
the computer program code comprising computer program code instructions configured to:
capture a first image data frame using the image capture device;
determine a first region of interest within the first image data frame;
render the first image data frame in the memory as a key frame;
capture a second image data frame using the image capture device;
determine a second region of interest within the second image data frame;
apply, when the processor determines that the second region of interest occupies more than twenty-five percent of the second image data frame, an image data enhancement algorithm to data within the second region of interest;
produce a subsequent frame when the processor applies the image data enhancement algorithm to the data within the second region of interest; and
transmit the subsequent frame to a remote endpoint through the network interface.
