Architecture and software of support system for distributed events
This paper presents the architecture, data processing modules as well as work algorithms of the developed system of distributed event support. The developed system is based on audio, video and presentation equipment state analysis choices a multimedia context for remote participants for discussion understanding. In addition, the system forms report data of meeting results by defined templates. The paper presents the architecture of control server and developed system, which includes five main modules for audiovisual data processing. The example of modules work mode changing and synchronization of audio and video content for transmitting remote participant, depended on receiving events from sound source localization, videomonitiong and multimedia devices control modules, is described. The organization of interaction between modules for formation of meeting multimedia report and history of participants behavior is considered. The structure of relational database main part, which is used for storage data from soft and hardware modules as well as information about carried out meetings and participants, is described. The structure of a relational database, which is used for store of data from various hardware and software modules, and information on the events and their participants, is considered. The experimental results show that time for displaying of a wrong content was about 3 % at whole time of meeting. The developed system is implemented in a smart room of SPIIRAS and is used during distributed meetings.
