摘要:
A device for mounting a structure, such as a video-phone, includes a base and a platform. The base has a first surface for resting on top of a display device, for example, a television monitor or computer monitor. The base also has an opposite, platform-supporting surface which includes a first central recess and a second recess, or track, surrounding the first recess. The first and second recesses are separated by a ridged portion. The platform includes a top surface for engaging or being integral with the video-phone. The bottom surface engages the base and is contoured to slidably communicate with the first and second recesses. This allows the platform and the video-phone to move in a complete circle with respect to the base and to pivot to allow adjustment in the vertical direction. The mounting device prevents adjustment by tilting in a horizontal direction, and therefore prevents the transmission of strangely angled images.

According to an example embodiment, the present invention is directed to a video communication system having a user-friendly, intuitive-like control for altering the video camera view at a remote terminal. The local terminal includes a display and a movement-responsive sensor arranged to generate a direction signal in response to corresponding movement at the display. At least one of the first and second computer arrangements is configured and arranged to alter data being sent to the display in response to the direction signal from the movement-responsive sensor.

A video unit provides remote activation of appliances and is capable of recording locally captured video data. The video unit includes an infrared transmitter that generates infrared signals to activate and/or control appliances in response to control codes, e.g. received from a remote site by the video arrangement. The video unit also includes a storage element so that locally captured video data can be stored and played back from a remote location.

The present invention provides a method and interface for browsing the internet using a telephone circuit having keys for generating DTMF codes. The interface includes a memory and a processor and is coupled to the telephone circuit and display. The interface receives a first DTMF code requesting access to the internet and, in response to the first DTMF code, loads a Web browser in its memory. The interface then receives a second DTMF code from the telephone circuit and converts the second DTMF code into a Web browser command using an interpretation protocol. The Web browser command is then executed using the interface, thereby enabling a user to access the internet via manual operation of the keys of the telephone circuit.
