This paper introduces technical methods to improve the accessibility and usability of a WebRTC video conference (VC) application. Simplified login is essential, by applying such as single sign-on (SSO) to improve the accessibility of VC applications. High usability and manageability are also necessary to attract more users, enhance user experiences, and save service management cost. The proposed VC application leverages SAML-based federated identity management (FIM) to enable higher service accessibility. Users can access the application with their organizational ID and SSO authentication. The FIM eases user ID management and indirectly strengthens privacy information protection. Proposed web application has high usability and manageability because users and/or administrators can easily create, join, monitor, or tear down VC sessions through RESTful web service (REST API). We verify the feasibility of the VC application after illustrating the SAML-based identity federation and the designed REST API.

In this paper, we propose the extension of cooperation protocol which realizes the autonomous control of QoS and show its effectiveness with implementation and experiments of our agent-based videoconference system. The autonomous QoS control in the agent-based videoconference system means the framework of adjusting its functions/abilities by itself to cope with the changes of user requirements and system resource situations. But, the original cooperation protocol used by the agent-based videoconference system is not enough to perform cooperation closely to use the limited resources effectively. In our proposal, the cooperation protocol is offended in the following points: (1) introducing a cooperation states, (2) extension of performatives, (3) introducing compromise levels. We embedded the proposed protocol to the agent-based videoconference system and experimented the behavior of the system. According to the experiments on this prototype system, we confirmed that the flexibility of the system is improved.

The purpose of this study is to present measures to enhance non-face-to-face communication platform services by measuring the user experience elements of major videoconferencing platforms in the non-face-to-face era. As a method of research, the platform of Zoom and MS Teams was selected, and the factors affecting the user experience were evaluated in combination with task and Think Aloud, and seven Honeycomb models of Peter Mobil were reconstructed to be analyzed through surveys and in-depth interviews for each paragraph. Studies have shown that Zoom has high usability, usability, accessibility and searchability, and MS Teams have excellent attractiveness. Therefore, based on the results of this study, the guidelines for video conferencing platform services and the improvement of the interface were presented. Based on this study, we hope that the usability of videoconferencing will be improved, and that various related studies will proceed as follow-up studies.

화상회의 시스템에서 원활한 동영상의 전달을 위해서는 주어지는 처리시간에 대하여 그에 상응하는 품질을 보장하는 프레임 스케줄링 방법이 필수적이다 영상 복원 작업에 주어지는 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 그 실행 결과로 얻어지는 영상의 품질이 함께 증가할 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 영상회의 시스템에서의 압축된 영상의 복원 과정에서 프로세서의 처리시간에 따르는 결과 영상의 품질에 대한 QoS함수를 도출하고 이를 IRIS 스케줄링 방안에 적용하는 온-라인 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 알고리즘에 대한 모의실험의 결과는 주어진 시스템 성능에 H하여 영상회의에 참여한 모든 화자 영상의 총체적 화질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여준다.

한정된 대역폭의 통신망에서 다른 매체에 비해 자료량이 많은 화상의 압축은 중요한 문제로 떠올랐다. 대표적인 영상 압축방법으로 MPEG 시리즈와 H.26x 시리즈가 있다. 그중 H.263은 화상회의 표준안인 H.323와 최근 진행중인 차세대 이동통신이라 일컬어지는 IMT-2000에서 영상압축방법중의 하나로 채택되었다. 또한 현대에 이르러 Desktop상에서의 영상회의구축은 더 이상 불가능한 일이 아니며, 또 하나의 영상회의 활용분야로 급속히 떠오르고 있다. 이는 internet의 보급과 함께 internet방송, 다대다 화상회의, 원격 의료 진료 등, 수없이 많은 분야에 활용될 수 있는 계기가 마련되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 H.261과 H.263, 그리고 H.263 version 2의 Desktop상에서의 실제적인 구현 및 비교를 기술한다.

This paper presents a study regarding a systemic structure that forms a link between heterogeneous terminals and the WebRTC (Web real-time communication) based video-conferencing systems. This system consists of a WebRTC-based terminal, a signal server for the relaying of the necessary signals for media negotiations, an MCU provides an interworking interface for the heterogeneous terminal, and the heterogeneous terminals that interwork with the MCU. This technology enables the interoperability between the WebRTC-based video-conferencing solutions and the legacy devices. In addition to reducing the replacement costs regarding new-technology-based solutions, the existing legacy equipment enables the use of multiparty-conference, thereby increasing the use ability of the conferencing systems.

According as computer industry develops and the Internet is spread information interchange between remote users video conference system that can exchange multimedia data such as voice as well as simplicity text data or burn by real-time appeared and is used in various field. However, most systems developed present have controversial points of that need expensive multi-point connection equipment or network resource of High band width. Hereupon, in this paper, designed and embody video conference system that can be stable and supplies multimedia information and screen public ownership environment of high-quality as software using minimum network resource without using expensive connection equipment.

본 논문은 화상회의 시스템 개발에 있어서 양방향 흐름제어 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 양방향 흐름 제어 방식은 End-To-End 간의 처리량과 네트워크의 상태를 SR과 RR의 손실율을 이용해서 3가지 상태(혼잡, 안정, 무부하)로 정의하였으며 그에 따른 양방향 흐름 제어 알고리즘을 적용해서 전송율을 조절해서 손실율을 줄이고 양단간 처리량 증가 및 송수신의 공정성을 갖게 한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 적용해 PC 카메라를 이용한 화상회의 시스템을 구현했으며, 이를 통해서 양측 모두 손실율의 감소, 수신율의 증가, 안정적인 송.수신, 송.수신량의 공평성이 향상되었다.

In this paper, the reduction amount of CO2 due to the virtual international video-conference organized by ITU in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) is calculated. The comparison is made with the case of off-line conference. In the symposium organized by ITU, "The power of ICTs to save The planet", held on September 2009 the participants were highly encouraged to attend the symposium through video-conferencing for the reduction of GHG. As a result, 46 foreign participants and 16 among 170 domestic participants have attended at virtual video-conference, which resulted in about 94.7 ton of CO2 emission reduction. This international symposium firstly tried in conjunction with online and off-line has drawn a big attention in the aspect of global warming. Definitely such ITU's trial will make significant impacts on the holding of other international symposiums and forums.
