Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a first video stream from a first camera oriented in a first direction on a handheld communication device and a second video stream from a second camera, the second camera facing a second direction different from the first direction; detecting a speech activity captured by handheld communication device based at least in part on an audio signal received from either a first microphone directed in the first direction or a second microphone directed in the second direction; determining whether the speech activity originated from the first direction or the second direction; generating a multiplexed video stream including frames from the first video stream and the second video stream, the frames including a small image from the first or second video stream superimposed on a large image from the first or second video stream; and switching automatically between the first or second video stream, resulting in switching between the first video stream being the small image and the second video stream being the large image and the first video stream being the large image and the second video stream being the small image based at least in part on the detection of the speech activity.
