    摘要: A videoconferencing terminal and method use a display and camera that are adaptable depending on the mode of operation: videoconference mode, or document camera mode. The camera is pivotally mounted on the display, and is pivotally positionable within different pivot ranges according to the pivot angle with respect to a surface on which the display is positioned. When the camera is rotated beyond a predetermined non-zero angle relative to a vertical plane, the mode of operation automatically switches to a document pick-up mode of operation. In the document pick-up mode, the image of the document is flipped so as to be viewed by users at both endpoints of a videoconference call. Also, the camera is set to maximum zoom and focus adjusted to a predetermined distance so as to make for a clean image capture of the document. Also, the camera provides for keystone correction due to the lens not being co-planer with the document.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method is provided for receiving, by a first endpoint, a request for a video conferencing session from a second endpoint, and determining whether the first endpoint is in a peek accepting mode, and when the first endpoint is in a peek accepting mode acknowledging the request, activating a first filter by the first endpoint, providing a first multimedia stream from one or more first media source associated with the first endpoint, modifying the first multimedia stream, by the first filter, to produce a first modified multimedia stream, and transmitting the first modified multimedia stream by the first endpoint to the second endpoint.

    摘要: A method for creating situation awareness when scheduling video conferences includes providing a user with access to a set of names stored in a directory service database, and allowing the user to select one or more of the names. In response to selection of one or more names, geographical location values associated with the names in the directory service database are retrieved, and a map is provided. The map and one or more geographical objects showing the geographical location of the users associated with the selected names is then displayed on a display.
