Abstract:
A multipoint audio processing method for processing audio streams originating from a plurality of audio clients is executed in a multipoint audio processing node. The method includes the steps of receiving control information on how to preselect audio streams from received audio streams, receiving audio streams from audio clients connected to the distributed multipoint audio processing node and generating evaluated audio streams by analyzing packets of the received audio streams in terms of at least one audio communication characteristic, and attaching an analysis result information of said analysis to said packets, in each audio stream. Audio streams are selected by deciding on whether or not any evaluated audio stream is to be transmitted further, based on the received control information and/or the analysis result information contained in said evaluated audio streams. Then selected audio streams are transmitted further while discarding evaluated audio streams decided not to be to be transmitted further, without mixing any transmitted audio streams. Corresponding steps may be executed by a central audio processing node. A system of audio clients distributed nodes and a central node and a software product are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 32):
The method of  claim 27 , comprising:\n the second processing nodes receiving control information from the first processing node; each of the second processing nodes receiving audio streams from audio clients connected to the second processing node; each of the second processing nodes generating evaluated audio streams by analyzing packets of said audio streams received from said audio clients in terms of at least one audio communication characteristic; each of the second processing nodes preselecting audio streams by deciding on whether or not any evaluated audio stream is to be transmitted upstream for mixing based on said received control information and said analysis result information contained in said evaluated audio streams; each of the second processing nodes transmitting said audio streams decided to be transmitted upstream toward the first processing node while discarding evaluated audio streams decided not to be transmitted upstream based on the control information.
