Abstract:
A method for controlling data streams of a virtual session with several participants who access at least access one application in the virtual session can include use of a selected media processing and a signaling mode in a centralized process for each participant according to the individual requirements of the participant. The process can be controlled by a server. The selection of the media processing and/or signaling mode can be made on the basis of an evaluation of the terminal of the respective participant and the network bandwidth available to the respective participant. An evaluation scheme with a plurality of evaluation criteria can be provided for the evaluation, and possible media processing and/or signaling modes are ascertained for the respective participant.

Claim (Index 28):
A communication system comprising:\n a communication device having a processor and non-transitory memory communicatively connectable to a plurality of participant end devices; the communication device configured to determine how media data of collaboration data to be exchanged via the virtual session that is to be used for the virtual session is to be transcoded for each of the participant end devices in response to receiving a collaboration request from a first participant end device of the participant end devices by the communication device so that the media data of the collaboration data is transcoded differently for the transmission of the media data to different participant end devices based on an evaluation of at least all of available bandwidth, screen resolutions, media densities, audio sampling rates, and application types for the different participant end devices and an evaluation of which of the participant end devices are to be passive participants to the virtual session and which are to be active participants to the virtual session; the communication device configured to determine transmission protocols to be used for the virtual session for each of the participant end devices in response to receiving the collaboration request from the first participant end device of the participant end devices by the communication device so that different transmission protocols are utilized by the communication device for transmission of the collaboration data of the virtual session to different participant end devices after the virtual session is established; the communication device configured to establish at least one unidirectional channel for the virtual session with at least one second participant end device of the participant end devices determined to be a passive participant; the communication device configured to establish at least one bidirectional channel for the virtual session with at least the first participant end device of the participant end devices determined to be an active participant; the communication device configured to control data exchanged within a virtual room assigned to the virtual session after establishment of the virtual session with the participant end devices such that different protocols are used for transcoding the media data to be sent from the virtual room to different participant end devices during the virtual session and different transmission protocols are used for transmission of the collaboration data of the virtual session to different participant end devices so that only a single communication device is used for controlling the data exchange within the virtual room and exchanging the collaboration data of the virtual session and the media data between the virtual room and the participant devices.
