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: A facility allows for automatic delegation of incoming real-time communications based on a delegation scheme. The delegation scheme may be rules-based and may be applied to a single real-time communication channel or multiple communication channels, including both real-time and non-real-time communication channels. The delegate information may include rules that indicate under what circumstances a communication should be rerouted, which delegate the communication should be rerouted to, and whether other associated actions should be taken in connection with the rerouting (or lack thereof). In some cases, the context of the incoming communication may play a role in how or whether a communication is rerouted to a delegate.

Abstract: A user entering information in an application might desire functionality not supported by that application. Based on an input or a subset of the input, a functionality associated with a different application can be automatically applied within a current application. Sometimes, a particular application or mode of communication can be used to send information and reply information can be sent in a different mode of communication. The communications can be automatically associated or related to each other. A user can be presented with information relating to both communications, upon request, although the communications might be associated with different modes of communication. Constraints or parameters can be placed on a subsequent communication by either a sender or a recipient.

Abstract translation: 在应用程序中输入信息的用户可能希望该应用程序不支持该功能。 基于输入的输入或子集，可以在当前应用中自动应用与不同应用相关联的功能。 有时，特定的应用或通信方式可以用于发送信息，并且可以以不同的通信模式发送回复信息。 通信可以自动关联或相互关联。 尽管通信可能与不同的通信模式相关联，但可以根据请求向用户呈现与两种通信相关的信息。 约束或参数可以由发送者或收件人置于后续通信中。

Abstract: Architecture for completing search queries by using artificial intelligence based schemes to infer search intentions of users. Partial queries are completed dynamically in real time. Additionally, search aliasing can also be employed. Custom tuning can be performed based on at least query inputs in the form of text, graffiti, images, handwriting, voice, audio, and video signals. Natural language processing occurs, along with handwriting recognition and slang recognition. The system includes a classifier that receives a partial query as input, accesses a query database based on contents of the query input, and infers an intended search goal from query information stored on the query database. A query formulation engine receives search information associated with the intended search goal and generates a completed formal query for execution.

Abstract: An automated camera management system and method for capturing presentations using videography rules. The system and method use technology components and aesthetic components represented by the videography rules to capture a presentation. In general, the automated camera management method captures a presentation using videography rules to determine camera positioning, camera movement, and switching or transition between cameras. The videography rules depend on the type of presentation room and the number of audio-visual camera units used to capture the presentation. The automated camera management system of the invention uses the above method to capture a presentation in a presentation room. The system includes a least one audio-visual (A-V) camera unit for capturing and tracking a subject based on vision or sound. The (A-V) camera unit includes any combination of the following components: (1) a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera; (2) a fixed camera; and (3) a microphone array.

Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains to anonymous network interaction. More specifically, mechanisms are provided to ensure anonymity with respect network interaction such that third parties are unable to determine the source and/or intent of communications. Accordingly, entities can anonymize all outgoing and/or incoming data packets so as to mitigate outside entities from learning about information being sought and/or provided. For example, a user or corporation can employ an anonymizer with respect to web searching so that outside entities are not able to determine what information is attempted to be accessed and by whom.

Abstract translation: 主题公开涉及匿名网络交互。 更具体地，提供机制以确保与网络交互相关的匿名性，使得第三方不能确定通信的源和/或意图。 因此，实体可以对所有输出和/或输入数据分组进行匿名化，以便减轻外部实体不需要寻求和/或提供的信息。 例如，用户或公司可以使用关于网页搜索的匿名器，使得外部实体不能确定尝试访问哪些信息以及由谁访问。

Abstract: A system that can analyze a multi-dimensional input thereafter establishing a search query based upon extracted features from the input. In a particular example, an image can be used as an input to a search mechanism. Pattern recognition and image analysis can be applied to the image thereafter establishing a search query that corresponds to features extracted from the image input. The system can also facilitate indexing multi-dimensional searchable items thereby making them available to be retrieved as results to a search query. More particularly, the system can employ text analysis, pattern and/or speech recognition mechanisms to extract features from searchable items. These extracted features can be employed to index the searchable items.

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 translation: 使用数码相机和麦克风捕获会议的白板内容和音频信号的系统。 该系统可以改装任何现有的白板。 它通过分析捕获的快照的顺序来计算白板上笔划的时间戳。 它也会在每次擦除之前自动产生代表白板上所有写入内容的一组关键帧。 白板内容作为视觉索引，有效地浏览音频会议。 该系统不仅可以捕获白板内容，还可以帮助用户有效，安全地查看和管理所捕获的会议内容。
