Abstract

A secure video conferencing system for a meeting room is discussed. The secure video conferencing system comprising a camera for capturing video of at least one writing board in the meeting room and to provide video data thereof; and processing circuitry, connected at least with the camera to receive the video data. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a change in room occupancy of the meeting room and to detect user content on the at least one writing board using the video data. The processing circuitry is further configured to provide a security notification if upon the determination of the change in room occupancy, user content is present on the at least one writing board.

Claims (27)

1 . A secure video conferencing system for a meeting room, comprising at least:

a camera for capturing video of at least one writing board in the meeting room and to provide video data thereof; and

processing circuitry, connected at least with the camera to receive the video data; wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to determine a change in room occupancy of the meeting room and to detect user content on the at least one writing board using the video data; and wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to provide a security notification if upon the determination of the change in room occupancy, user content is present on the at least one writing board.

2 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to provide the security notification until it is detected that the user content is removed from the at least one writing board.

3 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more of a video device and a speaker, wherein the security notification is provided in the meeting room with at least one of the video device and the speaker.

4 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , further comprising a communication interface, connected with the processing circuitry and being connectable to a network, wherein the security notification is provided to one or more of a notification server, a calendaring server, and a room control system using the communication interface.

5 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured with a hierarchy information, so that processing circuitry provides the security notification in dependence of the hierarchy information.

6 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured with an escalation schedule, so that the processing circuitry provides the security notification in dependence of the escalation schedule.

7 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to block the initiation of a video conference when the security notification is provided.

8 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured so that an initiation of the video conference is possible by a user override while the security notification is provided.

9 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , further comprising a memory interface, coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein in case the change in room occupancy is determined and user content is present on the at least one writing board, the memory interface is configured to store one or more images of the at least one writing board.

10 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 9 , further comprising a memory, coupled with the memory interface for storing the one or more images of the at least one writing board.

11 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured not to provide the security notification in case a clearance indicator is detected in the video data.

12 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the change in room occupancy is determined by the processing circuitry using one or more of the camera and at least one room occupancy detector.

13 . The secure video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the user content on the at least one writing board by object detection.

14 . The video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the change in room occupancy by object detection.

15 . The video conferencing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the change in room occupancy of the meeting room and to detect user content on the at least one writing board in predefined intervals.

16 . Processing circuitry for a video conferencing system for a meeting room, wherein the processing circuitry is connectable at least with a camera of the video conferencing system to receive video data; wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to determine a change in room occupancy of the meeting room and to detect user content on at least one writing board in the meeting room using the video data; and wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to provide a security notification if upon the determination of the change in room occupancy, user content is present on the at least one writing board.

17 . A method of operating a secure video conferencing system for a meeting room, wherein the secure video conferencing system comprises at least a camera for capturing video of at least one writing board in the meeting room and to provide video data thereof; the method comprising the steps of:

determining, using the video data, a change in room occupancy of the meeting room;

detecting user content on the at least one writing board using the video data; and

providing a security notification if upon the determination of the change in room occupancy, user content is present on the at least one writing board.

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium including contents that are configured to cause processing circuitry for a secure video conferencing system to conduct the method of claim 17 .
