Abstract: A system that captures both whiteboard content and audio signals of a meeting using a digital camera and a microphone. The system can be retrofit to any existing whiteboard. It computes the time stamps of pen strokes on the whiteboard by analyzing the sequence of captured snapshots. It also automatically produces a set of key frames representing all the written content on the whiteboard before each erasure. The whiteboard content serves as a visual index to efficiently browse the audio meeting. The system not only captures the whiteboard content, but also helps the users to view and manage the captured meeting content efficiently and securely.

Abstract: A skimmed or preview version of multimedia content is provided to a client computer by a server computer using playlists. The skimmed version of multimedia content can be presented to a user of a client computer in less time than presenting the entire multimedia content would require. The server computer maintains skimming information that identifies particular segments of the multimedia content corresponding to the skimmed version. The server computer uses the skimming information to generate a playlist, which in turn is used by the server computer to access the appropriate segments of the multimedia content and provide the segments to the client computer.

Abstract: In a networked client/server system, media content as well as annotations corresponding to the media content can be transmitted from a server(s) to a client. A user interface is presented to the user to facilitate creating new annotations and viewing annotations. According to one embodiment, the client further assists the user in identifying a temporal range of the media content to which the new annotation is to correspond.

Abstract: An enhanced computer telephony integration system that facilitates the interaction and integration of a private branch exchange (PBX) with a client computer on a computer network. An enhanced telephony (ET) server connects to the PBX and to all running instances of an ET client on a user's computers. The ET server acts as a proxy between the ET clients and the PBX. The ET clients register with the ET server for a certain telephone extension. The ET server then can forward telephone action requests (such as placing a telephone call) from the registered ET clients to the PBX servicing the telephone extension. Moreover, the ET server can relay telephone events (such as an incoming call) from the PBX to all registered clients. The ET server facilitates seamless integration of telephone and personal computer features to provide a rich user-controlled computer-telephone integration for a user.

Abstract translation: 一种增强的计算机电话集成系统，其促进专用小交换机（PBX）与计算机网络上的客户端计算机的交互和集成。 增强型电话（ET）服务器连接到PBX以及用户计算机上ET客户端的所有运行实例。 ET服务器充当ET客户端和PBX之间的代理。 ET客户端向ET服务器注册某个电话分机。 然后，ET服务器可以将来自注册的ET客户端的电话操作请求（例如拨打电话）转发到为电话分机服务的集团电话。 此外，ET服务器可以将电话事件（例如来电）从PBX转发到所有注册的客户端。 ET服务器便于电话和个人计算机功能的无缝集成，为用户提供丰富的用户控制的计算机电话集成。

Abstract: The present invention relates, in one aspect, to a method for processing video data that is divided into frames. The video data includes a current frame, which has an associated current macroblock, and an adjacent frame, which also has an associated macroblock. The method for processing video data involves obtaining an uncompressed current block that is a part of the current macroblock and an adjacent block that is part of the adjacent macroblock, and calculating a distance between the uncompressed current block and the adjacent block. It is determined whether the distance between the uncompressed current block and the adjacent block is acceptable. If the distance is unacceptable, then the current block is adoptively compressed.

Abstract translation: 本发明在一个方面涉及一种用于处理被划分成帧的视频数据的方法。 视频数据包括具有相关联的当前宏块的当前帧以及也具有相关宏块的相邻帧。 用于处理视频数据的方法涉及获得作为当前宏块的一部分的未压缩的当前块和作为相邻宏块的一部分的相邻块，以及计算未压缩的当前块与相邻块之间的距离。 确定未压缩的当前块与相邻块之间的距离是否可接受。 如果距离不可接受，则当前块被过度压缩。

Abstract: The interactive and shared surface technique described herein employs hardware that can project on any surface, capture color video of that surface, and get depth information of and above the surface while preventing visual feedback (also known as video feedback, video echo, or visual echo). The technique provides N-way sharing of a surface using video compositing. It also provides for automatic calibration of hardware components, including calibration of any projector, RGB camera, depth camera and any microphones employed by the technique. The technique provides object manipulation with physical, visual, audio, and hover gestures and interaction between digital objects displayed on the surface and physical objects placed on or above the surface. It can capture and scan the surface in a manner that captures or scans exactly what the user sees, which includes both local and remote objects, drawings, annotations, hands, and so forth.
