Online Conference System with Real-Time Document Transaction Platform
20230188675 · 2023-06-15 ·

A computer-implemented online conferencing transactional platform system comprising an interaction module, a video-conferencing module, and a storage device may allow multiple participants in a video-conference to access, co-browse, collaboratively edit, and sign a transactional document. An interaction module fetches an image of a transactional document and a field identifier for an interactive transactional document element to be filled out from a remotely-connected secure signature API, and displays the image of the document, along with the interactive transactional document element on a webpage interface to a moderator and a signer end user in a video-conference. The interaction module receives a filled-out transactional document in an I-frame from the secure signature API, allowing the signer end user to sign the transactional document using a secure embedded signature process.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION AND DISPLAY OF WHITEBOARD TEXT AND/OR AN ACTIVE SPEAKER

Systems and methods are provided for identifying and displaying whiteboard text and/or an active speaker in a video-based presentation, e.g., a video conference. Video images of an environment including a whiteboard may be captured by a video camera system. The video images may be analyzed to detect at least one text-containing area in the environment. Each text-containing area may be analyzed to determine whether it is an area of a whiteboard. When a text-containing area is identified as a whiteboard area, an area of view including the text-containing whiteboard area may be selected for display, e.g., a subset of the full frame captured by the video system. A video feed from the video camera system may be controlled to display the selected area of view at a client device, to provide a useful view of the whiteboard text and/or a speaking person located near the whiteboard text.
