    Abstract: A videoconferencing system has a videoconferencing unit that use portable devices as peripherals for the system. The portable devices obtain near-end audio and send the audio to the videoconferencing unit via a wireless connection. In turn, the videoconferencing unit sends the near-end audio from the loudest portable device along with near-end video to the far-end. The portable devices can control the videoconferencing unit and can initially establish the videoconference by connecting with the far-end and then transferring operations to the videoconferencing unit. To deal with acoustic coupling between the unit's loudspeaker and the portable device's microphone, the unit uses an echo canceller that is compensated for differences in the clocks used in the A/D and D/A converters of the loudspeaker and microphone.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for cancelation of table noise in a speaker system used for video or audio conferencing are disclosed. Table noise is cancelled in one embodiment by providing a signal or a message whenever a key is depressed on a keyboard or a mouse is clicked. When the key depression signal or message is received, the system evaluates whether speech is occurring. If speech is not occurring, then the microphone in the system is muted. However, if speech is occurring, the microphone is not muted for a period of time to allow the speech to be transmitted to the far end. This allows the conference to be continued in the presence of keyboard sounds if speech is occurring at the same time but also silences the keyboard sounds if speech is not occurring.

    Abstract: A videoconferencing system includes at least one processor and at least one camera. The endpoint can capture one or more images with the camera. The system can locate a region of interest within an image, such as the area surrounding the face of a person participating in a videoconference. If the face area or other region of interest is too dark, the system can brighten the region to make it more visible. The system can determine whether the face is too dark by comparing the captured image to previously captured images, or comparing the luma values and other data making up the face to predetermined values, or both. The system can check the second image for over-brightening or saturation, and further adjust the image as needed. The brightening of the face area is done in such a way that the brightened region is unobtrusive to the viewer.
