The remote controller (20) is configured to provide a radio control signal (30) to the frame structure (11) and the controller unit (12) is configured to control the smartboard (10) based on a detection that the at least one of the one or more of the plurality of transmitters (111) and receivers (112) has received the radio control signal (30).
Online Interview Method and System
One or more embodiments of the present specification relates to an online interview method and system. The method includes: establishing communication connection between an interviewing terminal and an interviewed terminal through a network; and acquiring communication information between the interviewing terminal and the interviewed terminal. The communication information includes one or more types of audio information, video information, and text information. The interviewing terminal includes one or more of a first host terminal, a second host terminal, and a text processing terminal. The first host terminal is configured to host an interview, and the first host terminal displays an interview outline and/or information of the interviewed terminal. The second host terminal is configured to host the interview and/or participate in the consultation of interview questions. The text processing terminal converts the audio information and/or the audio information in the video into corresponding text information.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC AUDIOVISUAL CONFERENCING IN VARYING NETWORK CONDITIONS
Embodiments described herein provide for the dynamic adjustment of traffic associated with audiovisual conferences or other types of communication sessions in situations where a network connection of one or more conference participants exhibits issues that may affect audio and/or video quality. The adjustment may include the determination at a particular conference participant (e.g., a particular User Equipment (“UE”)) of degraded network conditions, the generation of condensed conference information at the UE, and the outputting of the condensed conference information via the network. The condensed conference information may be included in control signaling. The condensed conference information may be used to generate reconstructed conference information, which may be distributed to other conference participants.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING INTERNET CALL SESSIONS IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, including a processing system for performing operations for determining service requirements of a call session at first user equipment associated with a communication network, determining a first codec to facilitate the call session at the first user equipment according to the service requirements of the call session, searching a session border controller table according to the first codec to obtain a first resource identifier associated with a first session border controller type to facilitate the call session at the user equipment, receiving a first address of a first session border controller associated with the communication network from a domain name server associated with the communication network responsive to a first query including the first resource identifier, and sending a first transport protocol message to the first session border controller according to the first address. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Systems and methods for videoconferencing with spatial audio
A system may provide for the generation of spatial audio for audiovisual conferences, video conferences, etc. (referred to herein simply as “conferences”). Spatial audio may include audio encoding and/or decoding techniques in which a sound source may be specified at a location, such as on a two-dimensional plane and/or within a three-dimensional field, and/or in which a direction or target for a given sound source may be specified. A conference participant's position within a conference user interface (“UI”) may be set as the source of sound associated with the conference participant, such that different conference participants may be associated with different sound source positions within the conference UI.
Visual Interactive Voice Response
A method includes connecting a call from a client device to a destination having an interactive voice response service; transcribing audio from the destination during the call to identify menu options of the interactive voice response service; generating visualizations representing the menu options; and outputting the visualizations to a display associated with the client device. A system includes a telephony system, an automatic speech recognition processing tool, and a visualization output generation tool. The telephony system connects a call from a client device to a destination having an interactive voice response service. The automatic speech recognition processing tool transcribes audio from the destination during the call to identify menu options of the interactive voice response service. The visualization output generation tool generates visualizations representing the menu options. The telephony system outputs the visualizations to a display associated with the client device.
System and method for increased call quality and success rate
A system and method for providing a communication session is provided. The system and method include a client device in communication with a plurality of communication networks. The system and method further includes a server also in communication with the plurality of communication networks. The client device includes a network monitor module and a dialer module. The network monitor module determines which networks to utilize in the communication session, and the dialer module initiates and terminates the communication session. The server receives a data signal associated with the communication session from the selected communication network. The server places a separate call to the recipient client device and completes the connection from the client device to the recipient client device by sending the data signal over the phone call to the recipient client device.
Sharing physical writing surfaces in videoconferencing
An apparatus and method relating to use of a physical writing surface (132) during a videoconference or presentation. Snapshots of a whiteboard (132) are identified by applying a difference measure to the video data (e.g., as a way of comparing frames at different times). Audio captured by a microphone may be processed to generate textual data, wherein a portion of the textual data is associated with each snapshot. The writing surface may be identified (enrolled) using gestures. Image processing techniques may be used to transform views of a writing surface.
Transmission management apparatus
A transmission management apparatus manages transmission states of a plurality of transmission terminals including a first transmission terminal and a second transmission terminal. The apparatus includes a terminal management table storage unit configured to store therein a terminal management table in which terminal information including an identifier and an identification name of each transmission terminal is managed; a receiving unit configured to receive a terminal information request signal from the first transmission terminal, the terminal information request signal indicating a request for information for identifying the second transmission terminal, the first and second transmission terminals being in transmission therebetween; a terminal state acquisition unit configured to acquire the information for identifying the second transmission terminal from the terminal management table in response to the terminal information request signal; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the information acquired by the terminal state acquisition unit to the first transmission terminal.
