Abstract:
Systems, methods, and modes are disclosed for live presentation sharing between meeting presenter's and meeting attendees' portable electronic devices during a meeting, and more specifically for viewing presentation content on a portable electronic device displayed on a meeting room display during a meeting. The system comprises a presentation gateway configured for receiving and transmitting presentation content to a meeting room display during a meeting. The system further comprises a portable electronic device that pairs with the presentation gateway. The presentation content is displayed on the portable electronic device substantially in synch with the presentation content displayed on a meeting room display by repeatedly capturing a new image from the presentation content, comparing each new image to a previously saved image to determine whether the new image is substantially identical to the previously saved image, and saving a new image that is not substantially identical to the previously saved image, wherein the newly saved image is displayed on the display of the portable communication device.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and modes are disclosed for initiating a conference call on a conferencing endpoint from a portable electronic device. The system comprises a conferencing endpoint associated with a network address and configured for receiving conferencing information and using said conferencing information to dial a conference call. The system also comprises a portable electronic device comprising a network interface configured for enabling communication between the portable electronic device and the conferencing endpoint. The portable electronic device pairs with the conferencing endpoint using the conferencing endpoint network address. The portable electronic device transmits dialing or conferencing information to the conferencing endpoint by accessing a calendar application, accessing a scheduled meeting event associated with the calendar application, retrieving conferencing information associated with the scheduled meeting event, and transmitting the conferencing information to the conferencing endpoint.
