Abstract:
Apparatus having corresponding computer-readable media comprises: a recording module adapted to record audio and video streams of a videoconference; a storage module adapted to store a media file associated with the videoconference; and a command module adapted to generate a command file comprising records for events that occur during the videoconference, wherein at least one of the records comprises a time of occurrence in the videoconference of an event associated with the media file, and a reference to the media file.
Abstract:
Computer-readable media having corresponding apparatus and methods embodies instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising: receiving a request to stream a video recording; selecting one of a plurality of user types based on the request; selecting one of a plurality of content filters for the video recording based on the selected user type, wherein at least one of the content filters identifies one or more portions of the video recording to be omitted; and streaming the video recording, except for the one or more portions of the video recording to be omitted.
Abstract:
In a method for providing partial layout synchronization in a teleconferencing system, a conference client application enters a presenter participant mode and accepts a layout modification from a local user. The layout modification alters a selection or arrangement of conference components in a user interface. The conference client determines whether the layout modification is a significant layout modification or an insignificant layout modification and transmits a command to a conference server containing a representation of the layout modification only when the layout modification is a significant layout modification.
Abstract:
Apparatus having corresponding methods and computer-readable media comprise: one or more plugins each adapted to execute on the computer, wherein each plugin comprises a monitor module adapted to monitor data exchanged between one or more applications executing on the computer and a respective device driver executing on the computer, and a capture module adapted to capture the data.
Abstract:
A videoconferencing system configured to utilize peer-to-peer videoconferencing software to provide a multi-participant conference environment for a plurality of participants is provided. The system includes a client component defining a conference client enabled to execute peer-to-peer videoconferencing software. The client component includes a client monitor configured to monitor both, whether the conference channel is active and events within a video window displayed by the conference client, wherein the events within the video window are communicated across a back-channel connection. The back-channel connection is established when the conference channel is active. The system includes a server component having a back-channel controller in communication with the client monitor through the back-channel connection. The server component provides a client configurable audio/video stream for each of a plurality of participants. A graphical user interface and methods for providing a multi-participant conferencing environment are provided.

Abstract:
A secured network connection requires three authentication routines. A system access authentication routine requires a client network device to submit user authentication information to a network server. Upon successful user authentication, the network server creates a Client Service Access Pass, embeds this pass into a dynamic web page transmitted to the client device. A client application access authentication routine requires that the dynamic web page pass the Client Service Access Pass to an instantiated client application, which in turn submits it back to a service server on the network server for authentication. Upon success authentication, the network server destroys the Client Service Access Pass, creates a Media File Access Pass, and sends this pass to the client application. A media file access authentication routine requires the client application to submit the Media File Access Pass along with any file access requests to the network server.
Abstract:
A multi-participant videoconference system incorporating a back-channel connection and a client video mixer is disclosed. The multi-participant videoconference system includes a client component and a server component. The server component provides a composite conference video signal to the client component. A region is defined in the composite conference video signal and the size and coordinates of the region are communicated to the client component by the server component over the back-channel. The client component captures local video and mixes local video into the composite conference video signal using the size and coordinates received from the server component for display.
Abstract:
A method for updating a set of presentation images through a single-buffered multipoint dispatcher over a network to multiple clients is provided. Each screen of a set of screens included in the presentation is divided into tiles. Packets respectively corresponding to the tiles of a first screen are stored in a single buffered multipoint dispatcher according to a time sorted hierarchy, a top packet having a most recent time value and a bottom packet having a least recent time value. Each tile of the first screen is compared with a corresponding tile of a second screen to identify any non-matching tile pairs. For each non-matching tile of the second screen, a packet corresponding to that non-matching tile is provided to the single buffered multipoint dispatcher. Then, non-matching tiles of the first screen are replaced with the respective non-matching tiles of the second screen, while maintaining the time sorted hierarchy. Such replacement supports clients with different connection speeds at different frame rates.
Abstract:
A computer (host), which is communicating with an interactive whiteboard projector (client) through a remote desktop connection, launches third-party applications supporting multiple mice (i.e. drawing pens) and provides these applications with virtual mouse device and input event signals for each pen device connected on the projector. The applications will behave as if the host system were configured with multiple installed mice, though no added driver or physical connected hardware is present.
