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:
A method and system for providing technical support for networked devices includes a first client component on a networked device having a conferencing application to enable communication exchange with a second client component. A server component is configured to distribute video and audio data streams to the first client component and the second client component in a conference session. A conference channel communication connection is established over which the video and audio data streams are carried between the first client component, the server component, and the second client component, and a back-channel communication connection is established for transmission of diagnostic and status information. A service call is managed by a service center dispatcher, who connects a technician client and a networked device client in a multi-party conference hosted on one of a plurality of load balanced servers.
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.
Abstract:
A system for establishing a remote desktop connection between a client projector and a host computer, the client projector and the host computer being connected by a network. A private remote desktop service virtual channel is established between the host computer and the client projector. In the client projector, a processor initiates a remote desktop connection process, and completes a remote desktop connection to the host computer. The client projector receives keyboard and mouse events from the host computer across the private remote desktop service virtual channel. The keyboard or mouse events received by the client projector are injected into an operating system of the client projector. They are interpreted by a client application remote desktop connection as a valid input device event, and forwarded to the host computer to actuate a graphical user interface of a remote desktop session.
Abstract:
A multi projector imaging system is provided. The system includes a plurality of projectors and a computing device in communication with the plurality of projectors. The computing device includes a projector platform module providing output to the plurality of projectors such that the plurality of projectors display partially overlapping output as a cohesive display. The projector platform module includes a projection player module having media drawers for preparing frames of data that are drawn into a frame buffer for eventual display through the plurality of projectors. The projection platform also includes a remote desktop controller. The remote desktop controller manages remote computing devices communicating with the projector platform, wherein the remote desktop controller specifies a resolution and aspect ratio for image data provided by the remote computing devices, and wherein the provided image data is stored in the frame buffer. A method for displaying content through the multi-projector system is also included.
Abstract:
Computer-readable media, having corresponding methods and apparatus, embodies instructions executable by a first computer to perform a method comprising: executing a first videoconference client application, wherein the first videoconference client application exchanges first audiovisual data with a videoconference server application during a videoconference; sending action commands to a second videoconference client application executing on a second computer, wherein the second videoconference client application exchanges second audiovisual data with the videoconference server application during the videoconference; and wherein the second videoconference client application operates according to the action commands during the videoconference.

Abstract:
A system configured to playback videoconference data is provided. The system includes a media management server configured to receive videoconference data associated with a videoconference session. The media management server is configured to convert the videoconference data to a common format for storage. An event database configured to capture events occurring during the videoconference session is included. A media analysis server configured to analyze the stored videoconference data to insert indices representing the captured events is provided. A media playback unit configured to establish a connection with the media management server is included. The media playback unit is further configured to enable position control of a video stream delivered to the media playback unit from the media management server while maintaining the connection. A method, a computer readable medium, and a graphical user interface for the play back of videoconference data are also provided.
Abstract:
A conferencing method is described. The method includes connecting a plurality of conference participants to a conferencing server. Each conference participant generates conferencing content sent to the conferencing server. A plurality of conference viewers is connected to a video streaming server. At least a portion of the conferencing content is passed from the conferencing server to the video streaming server and is streamed to the plurality of conference viewers. A conferencing system incorporating the method is also described.
Abstract:
A method for a communication system comprising a plurality of communication modules passing an audio stream comprising frames of audio data comprises receiving the audio stream at one of the communication modules; selecting one of the frames; identifying second data; replacing a portion of the audio data in the one of the frames with the second data; and transmitting the audio stream comprising the one of the frames of audio data comprising the second data from the one of the communication modules in the communication system.
