摘要： In various embodiments, to avoid having to plug in the speakerphone, the speakerphone may be powered with a battery. In some embodiments, the speakerphone may exchange a discharged battery with a charged battery on a charging stand. In some embodiments, a charging stand, with a battery releasably coupled to the charging stand, may be configured to receive a second battery from a speakerphone. In some embodiments, the speakerphone with the first battery may be placed onto the charging stand to engage the charging stand. The charging stand may determine if the first battery on the speakerphone needs to be exchanged (e.g., if it is charged below a predetermined limit). If the battery needs to be exchanged, the charging stand may exchange the first battery with the second battery by disengaging the first battery and engaging the second battery with the speakerphone.

摘要： In various embodiments, a multi-component videoconferencing system (MCVCS) may be used as a videoconferencing endpoint. The MCVCS may include a camera, microphones, speakers, and a codec. The camera and speakers may be coupled to or placed around a display. The MCVCS may send/receive signals through a network coupled to the computer system. The various functions to support the videoconference (e.g., compression and decompression of video signals) may be performed by circuitry in the camera base, codec box, and/or on the computer system. The computer system may be a laptop computer. In some embodiments, the codec functionality may be incorporated in a set-top box. In some embodiments, the components of the MCVCS may be incorporated into a unitary housing. In some embodiments, ported speakers may be used to maximize sound quality for the provided speaker size.
