Abstract: A digital storyboard system that uses multiple displays and related methods are disclosed. The systems and methods may be used to present graphical content such as slides of a slide shows or boards of a storyboard sequence simultaneously on multiple screens at each of a plurality of locations. One or more users of the system may, through their interface device, update or edit the content on any of the screens, resulting in real-time updates to those designated screens at all locations and on any interface devices on which those screens appear. Portable devices may be used to interface with the storyboard system to choose content, place content on display areas, edit and annotate content. Concurrent editing and/or annotating of content by multiple users is supported. The systems and methods may also partition screens at a plurality of locations into display areas to display different content, such that all content is visible at all locations, regardless of the number of available screens.

Abstract: Traditional audio feedback elimination systems may attempt to reduce the effect of the audio feedback by simply scaling down the audio volume of the signal frequencies that are prone to howling. Other traditional feedback elimination systems may also employ adaptive notch filtering to detect and “notch” the so-called “singing” or “howling” frequencies as they occur in real-time. Such devices may typically have several knobs and buttons needing tuning, for example: the number of adaptive parametric equalizers (PEQs) versus fixed PEQs; attack and decay timers; and/or PEQ bandwidth. Rather than removing the singing frequencies with PEQs, the devices described herein attempt to holistically model the feedback audio and then remove the entire feedback signal. Two advantages of the devices described herein are: 1.) the system can operate at a much larger loop-gain (and hence with a much higher loudspeaker volume); and 2) setup is greatly simplified (i.e., no tuning knobs or buttons).

Abstract: A novel universal bridge (UB) can handle and conduct multimedia multipoint conferences between a plurality of MREs and LEPs without using an MRM, an MCU and a gateway. Further, a UB can be configured to allocate and release resources dynamically according to the current needs of each conferee and the session.

Abstract: A presentation system capable of detecting one or more gestures and contacts on a touch sensitive display. The presentation system can display indicia of such contacts, such as when a user writes with a fingertip, and can remove or alter such indicia responsive to other gestures and contacts. The system can accurately distinguish between types of gestures detected, such as between a writing gesture and an erasing gesture, on both large and small touch sensitive displays, thereby obviating the need for a user to make additional selective inputs to transition from one type of gesture to another.

Abstract: A system and method for manipulating images in a videoconferencing session provides users with a 3-D-like view of one or more presented sites, without the need for 3-D equipment. A plurality of cameras may record a room at a transmitting endpoint, and the receiving endpoint may select one of the received video streams based upon a point of view of a conferee at the receiving endpoint. The conferee at the receiving endpoint will thus experience a 3-D-like view of the presented site.

Abstract: Systems for videoconferencing are designed for where people are seated around a video conferencing system. The systems include a camera so the far site can see the local participants and the systems include displays that show the far site. The displays are properly aligned with the cameras so that when people at the far site view the displayed images of the near site, it looks like they have eye contact with the near site. Obtaining the alignments of the camera and the displays to provide this apparent eye contact result requires meeting a series of different constraints relating to the various sizes and angles of the components and the locations of the participants.

Abstract: A videoconference apparatus at a first location detects audio from a location and determines whether the sound should be included in an audio-video stream sent to a second location, or excluded as an interfering noise. Determining whether to include the audio involves using a face detector to see if there is a face at the source of the sound. If a face is present, the audio data from the location will be transmitted to the second location. If a face is not present, additional motion checks are performed to determine whether the sound corresponds to a person talking, (such as a presenter at a meeting), or whether the sound is instead unwanted noise.

Abstract: A method includes, during a teleconference between a first audio input/output device and a second audio input/output device, receiving, at an analysis and response device, a signal indicating a spoken command, the spoken command associated with a command mode. The method further includes, in response to receiving the signal, generating, at the device, a reply message based on the spoken command, the reply message to be output to one or more devices selected based on the command mode. The one or more devices includes the first audio input/output device, the second audio input/output device, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A system for displaying images captured with a wide view lens in a split view without distortion. The system captures raw image data using the wide view lens and renders it to projection plane corresponding to a curved display surface, and then maps the image data from the projection plane to a rectilinear display screen, thereby eliminating all distortion in the displayed image regardless of the angle of view of the lens.

Abstract: Functions and controls for multimedia sessions are shared amongst pluralities of electronic components, rather than run by a single control unit. A disaggregate multipoint control includes a plurality of electronic components which are, or can be, coupled over a network. The various components are configured to recognize the others and share functions and controls normally associated with a single endpoint device, in order to facilitate a multimedia session.
