The present disclosure describes various aspects of remote presence interfaces (RPIs) for use on portable electronic devices (PEDs) to interface with remote presence devices. An RPI may allow a user to interact with a telepresence device, view a live video feed, provide navigational instructions, and/or otherwise interact with the telepresence device. The RPI may allow a user to manually, semi-autonomously, or autonomously control the movement of the telepresence device. One or more panels associated with a video feed, patient data, calendars, date, time, telemetry data, PED data, telepresence device data, healthcare facility information, healthcare practitioner information, menu tabs, settings controls, and/or other features may be utilized via the RPI.

Collaboration devices are disclosed. An example non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least cause a display of a collaboration device to display first data associated with a first participant on a first portion of the display; cause the display of the collaboration device to display second associated with a second participant on the first portion of the display or a second portion of the display, the second portion different than the first portion; identify, based on a user input, a command associated with the first data or the second data; and cause the display to display an icon representative of the command proximate to the first data or the second data.

The present technique relates to a telemedicine system, a telemedicine method, an information processing device, and a program that allow a medical practitioner to more accurately obtain visual information on a patient in telemedicine.

The telemedicine system includes a first imaging unit that images a patient in a first space, an image processing unit that corrects an image of the patient based on imaging conditions in a first space and display conditions in a second space for displaying the image of the patient imaged in the first space, and a display unit that displays the corrected image of the patient in the second space. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a telemedicine system.

An audio-video communication system comprises a wireless exterior module located proximate an entrance, a computerized controller running a software application, and a remote peripheral device. The wireless exterior module includes a proximity sensor for detecting a person at the entrance, a video camera for recording an image of the person at the entrance, a microphone for recording the person at the entrance, a speaker for playing audio to the person at the entrance, a transmitter for communicating sounds and images of the person at the entrance, and a receiver for receiving communications at the wireless exterior module. The computerized controller is disposed in wireless electronic communication with the wireless exterior module via the transmitter and the receiver of the wireless exterior module. The remote peripheral device is configured to electronically communicate with the computerized controller for viewing an image from the video camera communicated from the wireless exterior module.

An information processing system including a video device for displaying a video and a wireless terminal for communicating with the video device and communicating with other apparatuses via a network, wherein the video device transmits video information captured by a camera and sound information collected by a microphone when reception from the wireless terminal of information pertaining to a video to be displayed is detected, and outputs the received sound information using a speaker. The wireless terminal transmits information pertaining to the video to be displayed to the video device, the other apparatuses receive the captured video information and collected sound information via the network, and transmit information pertaining to the video to be displayed and information pertaining to the sound to be outputted.

Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide a mobile robot that moves within an area and captures image data by an image sensor. A position of text, an image, and/or video on a display screen of a display mounted to the mobile robot may be adjusted based on the image data captured by the mobile robot that includes one or more persons that are within the area. The text, the image, and/or the video may be at the adjusted position in the display screen of the display and audio via a speaker of the mobile robot to the one or more persons based on their heights, eye level, whether they are seated, or the like.

This invention provides a system and method for utilizing a wireless, handheld communication device to image a scene in multiple directions, so as to include multiple parties in addition to the user, and also, optionally, to project images on a plurality of display screens—for example a user-facing screen on the front face of the phone and an opposing screen on the rear/back face of the phone that faces (e.g.) a chat participant other than the user (an audience). The housing of the smartphone is adapted to provide a multi-camera and multi-screen arrangement. More particularly, the housing of the smartphone is adapted to include (at least) a front-directed camera and a rear-directed camera on respective front and rear faces, and openings along the left and right side edges for small-scale cameras and associated protective windows that are directed to image the left and right areas adjacent to the phone.

A remote display system includes a screen display controller configured to perform a first screen switching process of switching a monitor screen to be displayed on a terminal display unit of a display terminal from a first monitor screen for displaying a first image range of a captured image by a robot camera to a second monitor screen for displaying a second image range different from the first image range of the captured image, in accordance with a predetermined screen switching condition.

Input device including a camera, a projector, and a Feedback Prevention Module (FPM) for remote collaboration adapted for displaying digital whiteboarding content. The camera provides a signal to the FPM, and the input device is connected to a backend system. The FPM prevents a feedback loop by analyzing the signal from the camera and masking an original portion of the signal which was previously projected, the masking preventing the original portion of the signal which was previously projected from reaching the backend system.

Communication methods, systems and computer program products (“software”) (1) facilitate virtual immersion of one or more remote viewing participants into a captured scene which may include any number of physically present participants, and (2) provide indications of the remote viewing participants that can be seen or discerned by the physically present participants.
