Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for reducing wireless telecommunication costs for enterprises having a plurality of PBX-equipped sites, connected by either a public network (e.g., the PSTN, the Internet, etc.), a private network (e.g., leased lines, a virtual private network [VPN] over the Internet, etc.), or some combination of public and private networks. In particular, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention attempt to reduce telecommunication costs by advantageously routing calls from an off-premises wireless terminal belonging to the enterprise via one or more of the enterprise's private branch exchanges. The present invention is especially advantageous in that it can reduce telecommunication costs for calls from an off-premises wireless terminal to any type of destination: another cell phone, a wireline terminal, a private branch exchange, etc.

Abstract: Conferencing applications run a variety of devices, including portable devices, such as smart phones, laptop computers, and tablet computers. A source device may be taking a high-resolution video to provide the video as a conference portion of a conference being viewed by a number of devices. The number of devices displaying the conference may only be displaying the conference portion as a thumbnail image, or other low-data image, or not be currently displaying the conference portion at all. The number of devices viewing the conference may then signal back to the source device to downgrade/terminate the capturing and/or transmission of the video. The source device then provides the video or other conference portion in a data-thrifty format more closely matching the conference portion as it is being displayed on the number of devices.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for tracking engagement of participants in a presentation. An example system implementing the method can identify a presenter in a conference and participants in the conference. Then the system can gather, during a presentation by the presenter in the conference, engagement data about the participants. The system can generate or calculate an engagement score based on the engagement data, and present the engagement score to the presenter during the presentation. The system can gather the engagement data from participant devices through which the participants are accessing the presentation or from other participant devices not directly involved with the presentation. The engagement data can include participant voice activity in the conference, participant voice activity with others outside of the conference, participant audio data, participant video data, participant mute status, participant interactions with other applications, participant interactions with computing devices and participant multi-tasking.
