Patent ID: 8797378

Claim:
A method of communicating, comprising: receiving at least a first encoded media stream sent from a first sending device of a plurality of co-located sending devices and a second encoded media stream sent from a second sending device of the plurality of co-located sending devices; determining a spatial relationship between the plurality of co-located sending devices to define a sending spatial relationship; determining a spatial relationship between a plurality of co-located receiving devices to define a receiving spatial relationship; selecting a first receiving device from the plurality of co-located receiving devices as a destination for the first encoded media stream based on the sending spatial relationship and the receiving spatial relationship; selecting a second receiving device from the plurality of co-located receiving devices as a destination for the second encoded media stream based on the sending spatial relationship and the receiving spatial relationship; sending the first encoded media stream to the first receiving device to be decoded and rendered on the first receiving device; and sending the second encoded media stream to the second receiving device to be decoded and rendered on the second receiving device.
