- 5. Real Time Communication between browsers An short introduction to WebRTC
- 6. Until now, some history • Skype, MSN, Lync, video conference systems, Unified Communications (UC) – Definition UC: From one interface/screen switching modes of communication without changing screens or devices • Proprietary owned implementations – Manufactured exclusively by the owner of intellectual property rights, as with a patent or trade secret. • Expensive and not freely available • Communication is server based
- 7. Initiative • Promoted by Google Chrome team since 2009, the W3C webRTC WG and the IETF RTCweb WG • Specification / W3C Editor's Draft 21 March 2014 • WebRTC is open source project • Manage multimedia communications • Simple API’s in Javascript • Multi platform and multi device • WebRTC specs built into browsers (see http:// iswebrtcreadyyet.com/) • Now (2014) many suppliers offer WebRTC solutions and numbers are growing.
- 9. The promise of WebRTC WebRTC: • No plugins • No downloads • No App stores • No patents • No installations Multi media RTC for: • Audio • Video • Data Using RTC any browser can call any other browser
- 10. One-click technology On webpage in browser: • Click here to talk to your customer support • Click here to see your colleague • Click here to join video conference
- 11. Get connected (1) Web server + API’s My browser Other browser 1 2 3 5 4
- 12. Get connected (2) 1. User clicks button and connects to server 2. Server sends signal to callee 3. Callee accepts 4. Communication is established 5. Audio, video chat transmission starts
- 13. Browser API’s for WebRTC Browser supports WebRTC using API’s: • GetUserMedia – To access and control microphone and camera hardware – Must be allowed by user (opt-in) • PeerConnection – Establish connection and set up context like security and codecs • DataChannels – Provide peer-to-peer connection – “Data part of WebRTC” API = Application Programming Interface My browser Other browser My browser Web Server + API’s mic webcam
- 14. Role of the Webserver • WebRTC is a webservice webserver needed • Acts as the central control point • Webserver handles button clicked by user to join video conference • Webserver is needed to establish the connection between the browsers (peers) • Webserver does not handle the data part of the communication between the browsers
