Abstract
A far-end terminal including a communication interface configured to wirelessly communicate with a near-end terminal for performing a video conference between the far-end terminal and the near-terminal, a camera configured to capture a region in front of the far-end terminal including a plurality of counterpart speakers, a display configured to display the plurality of counterpart speakers captured through the camera and to display an image of a speaker at the near-end terminal, and a processor configured to receive focusing mode setting information from the near-end terminal indicating an operation mode of the near-end terminal is a wide focusing mode, in response to the focusing mode setting information indicating the operation mode is the wide focusing mode, obtain an angle range corresponding to a narrower partial region of an entire region including the plurality of counterpart speakers at the far-end terminal, perform selective audio focusing on a received voice within the obtained angle range to selectively increase a gain of the received voice and to selectively decrease a gain of other received voices outside the obtained angle range, and transmit audio, which is a result of performing the beamforming, to the near-end terminal.
