The electronic device includes a housing, a communication module, a first speaker disposed in a first region of the housing, a second speaker disposed in a second region of the housing, a first microphone disposed adjacent to the first region, a second microphone disposed adjacent to the second region, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first audio signal from an external electronic device, and output a first given frequency band, and output a second given frequency band, and provide a first signal by applying a filter capable of passing a band corresponding to the second given frequency band, and provide a second signal by applying a filter capable of passing a band corresponding to the first given frequency band, and provide a second audio signal corresponding to the external audio signal, and transmit the second audio signal to the external electronic device.

A videophone system includes a processor which selectively sets a television (TV) broadcast program viewing function mode and videophone function mode in response to manual operation of a remote control, a decoder which performs, in the TV program view mode, a TV program-use decode function for decoding a broadcast program signal received from a TV tuner to thereby display it on a display screen while producing audio sounds by loudspeakers and which performs, in the videophone function mode a videophone-use decode function for decoding a videophone signal received from a distant party to thereby display on the screen an image of the distant party using the screen and speakers, and an encoder which performs a videophone-use encode function for encoding a video signal from a camera and a voice signal from a microphone to generate a videophone signal, which is sent to the distant party via a network.

A communication management system includes: a storage unit configured to store destination information of a first communication terminal that establishes a first session with a relay device that relays communication data, destination information of a conversion system that performs mutual conversion between communication schemes of communication data transmitted from the first communication terminal and a second communication terminal and establishes a second session with the relay device, and destination information of the second communication terminal that establishes a third session with the conversion system; a receiving unit configured to receive start request information to start communication between the communication terminals from the first communication terminal; an extracting unit configured to extract destination information of each communication terminal and the conversion system stored in the storage unit, based on the received start request information; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the extracted destination information to the relay device.

Method and apparatus for presenting audio and visual information to an audience by streaming, broadcast, live and recording presentations including a generally transparent pane having one end disposed proximate an end of a reflective pane to form an apex with an acute angle. In use an imaging device is disposed between the generally transparent pane and the reflective pane and oriented to image a reflection of the generally transparent pane off of the reflective pane. In operation a lecturer positions themselves in front of the generally transparent pane and performs an audio and visual presentation by writing written material on the surface of the generally transparent pane facing the lecturer. The imaging device, imaging a reflection of the generally transparent pane off the reflective pane, images a left-to-right reversal of the writing on the generally transparent pane thereby rendering it readable by a viewer.

A portable remote controlled video production apparatus and method are provided, as is a teleprompter/Interrotron integrated with a camera. A computer is mounted in a rigid cage, the computer having a local portion of remote access remote control software. A camera is fixedly mounted in the cage in communication with the computer; either the camera or the computer have camera control software running thereon. A monitor is fixedly mounted in the cage in front of the camera and parallel to the lens axis; the monitor is in communication with the computer. A beamsplitter is fixedly mounted in the cage in front of the lens reflecting light from the monitor towards a front of the cage. The camera and computer are controllable remotely via a remote portion of the remote access remote control software running on a remote computer communicating with the local portion of the remote access remote control software.

The method includes: A first electronic device displays a control center on a first interface, where the control center includes a device list including one or more electronic devices, and the one or more electronic devices and the first electronic device are in a same content continuation system. The first electronic device receives a first selection operation of selecting a second electronic device from the one or more electronic devices by a user. In response to the first selection operation, the first electronic device determines whether the first electronic device is a source device or a target device of a current content continuation task. If the first electronic device is the target device of the current content continuation task, the first electronic device switches content in the second electronic device to the first electronic device for continuous playing.

A video messaging system facilitates a video messaging session between a client device and a remote device. A remote device provides information (e.g., a link) to a client device for connecting to a video messaging session. The client device uses the provided information to connect to the video messaging session between the client device and the remote device. The video messaging session generally includes two-way communication, with at least video information being transmitted by the client device to the remote device, and instructions describing video operations being transmitted by the remote device to the client device. The video operations may include annotating the video, rewinding the video, pausing the video, and various other modifications to the video. The video messaging system may mirror operations performed on one device (e.g., the remote device) on the other device (e.g., the client device) in the video messaging session.

The present disclosure generally relates to a camera device and system for video conferences and method of using the same and, more particularly, a camera device and system including multiple cameras providing a wide overall view of a space and a series of narrow views of different portions of the space, and a mechanical assembly which enables the camera device and system to serve both as a video camera and also as a document camera.

An example computing device is provided. The computing device includes a video camera, a privacy shutter, and a processor communicatively coupled to the video camera. The video camera is to capture an image of a user. The privacy shutter is movably coupled to the video camera to move between an open position and a closed position. The processor is to activate the video camera when a video conference call application is executed, detect that the privacy shutter is in the closed position when the video camera is activated, and replace a blank screen caused by the privacy shutter in the closed position with a background image in response to detection of the privacy shutter in the closed position.

A patient station for telemedicine enabling transmission of patient data to a remote doctor station, via a telecommunication network includes a processing unit with an operating system, a main display device, and at least one first sensor of a first type generating first patient data. The processing unit is configured to generate a first video signal or a first image from the first patient data and display the first video signal or the first image on the main display device in a first display window, capture at least one display area of the first display window to generate a captured video signal, generate an output video signal comprising the captured video signal, emulate a digital-camera peripheral, wherein the output video signal is provided as output from the emulated digital camera peripheral to the operating system as digital camera-type peripheral device output, and provide the output video signal to the doctor station via the telecommunication network.
