Abstract
A multi-channel, two-way video chat mirroring communication system capable of mirroring disparate video clients at a central coordinator terminal into a two-way video and audio conversation with one another. The central coordinator mirroring terminal system is functionally placed in the middle between a provider video chat user device, and a patient's video chat user device. The central coordinator mirroring terminal manages an individual video and audio link with a provider's video chat user device using the provider's preferred communication technology, and another individual video and audio link with the patient's video chat user device that uses its own preferred communication technology, which may or may not be the same as that of the provider's video chat user device. Because the video-mirroring system manages those individual video and audio streams, it produces a seamless experience for both the provider's video chat user device and the patient's video chat user device.
