Claim One:
1. A system comprising: at least one communication device including at least: circuitry configured for engaging at least one synchronous communication between the at least one communication device and at least one receiving device in a remote environment; one or more sensors including one or more of at least one audio sensor configured for sensing at least one of an audio signal stream or at least one video sensor configured for sensing at least one visual signal stream in a local environment for transmission to the at least one receiving device in the remote environment; circuitry configured for obtaining remote environment information including at least one identifier of at least one participant in the at least one synchronous communication in the remote environment; circuitry configured for detecting at least one manipulation of the at least one communication device by at least one user of the at least one communication device, wherein the at least one manipulation includes at least one of opening of the at least one communication device, closing of the at least one communication device, deforming a flexible surface of the at least one communication device, or altering an orientation of the at least one communication device; circuitry configured for determining one or more filter rules based at least partly on the detected at least one manipulation of the at least one communication device by the at least one user of the at least one communication device and the at least one identifier of at least one participant in the at least one synchronous communication in the remote environment; circuitry configured for filtering at least part of the at least one of an audio signal stream or a visual signal stream according to the one or more filter rules; and circuitry configured for transmitting the filtered at least one of the audio signal stream or the visual signal stream to the at least one receiving device.
