A content sharing system for sharing digital content within a conference space, where specific zones within the space are associated with different stations, includes at least one large common emissive surface arranged for viewing by users within the space, at least a first sensor device located within the space for identifying locations of portable computing devices used by conferees within the space, and a processor linked to the emissive surface and the sensor device. The processor is programmed to determine the location of a portable computing device within the space, recognize that the portable computing device is within one of the specific zones associated a station within the space, and, for each portable computing device that is at a station within the conference space, establish a wireless communication link with the portable computing device and enable the portable computing device to share content on the common emissive surface.

A camera assembly adaptable to a display device is provided. The camera assembly comprises a fixed base, a lifting component, an elastic element and a camera module. The fixed base is disposed in the display device and fixed with the display device. The lifting component is movably connected to the fixed base. The elastic element is connected with the lifting component and the fixed base respectively. The camera module is pivotally connected to the lifting component. The elastic element provides elastic force to drive the lifting component to raise the camera module so that the camera module is exposed from the display device, and the camera module pivots relative to the lifting component to tilt the display device.

A digital desk includes a transparent display unit provided between a counselor and a customer, and a control unit configured to control an image displayed on the transparent display unit based on information on presence or absence of the counselor.

Embodiments of the disclosure provided herein generally relate to methods and video system components that have integrated background differentiation capabilities that allow for background replacement and/or background modification. In some embodiments, undesired portions of video data generated in a video environment are separated from desired portions of the video data by taking advantage of the illumination and decay of the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, provided from an illuminator, over a distance. Due to the decay of intensity with distance, the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the undesired background has a lower intensity when received by the sensor than the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the desired foreground. The difference in the detected intensity at the one or more wavelengths can then be used to separate and/or modify the undesired background from the desired foreground for use in a video feed.

A remote control system for transmitting a signal to an electronic component, the remote control system including a remote control that includes a transmitter that transmits the signal to the electronic component, and at least one button configured to, upon user contact with the button, instruct the transmitter to transmit the signal. The remote control system also includes a camera disposed on or within the remote control. The camera is configured to image an environment within a predetermined distance of the remote control.

The disclosure provides an augmented reality virtual videoconference for each of a plurality of computing devices during a networked communication session. The networked communication session is defined and provided a plurality of devices. Video content that is at least partially captured by a camera associated with a respective device is received, and a composited interactive audio/video feed comprised of audio/video input received during the networked communication session from each of the first user computing device and at least the respective user computing device of the one of the additional users is generated. At least some of the video content captured by the camera associated with a respective user computing device is removed prior to including the remaining video content in the composited interactive audio/video feed. The composited interactive audio/video feed is provided to the plurality of computing devices during the networked communication session.

A conference gallery view intelligence system determines regions of interest for display within views of conferencing software based on input streams received from devices within a conference room during a conference. Conference participants are detected in the conference room based on an input video stream received from a video capture device. A direction of audio from the conference participants is determined based on an input audio stream received from a multi-directional audio capture device. A conversational context within the conference room is then determined based on the direction of the audio and locations of the one or more conference participants in the conference room. A region of interest to output within conferencing software is determined based on the conversational context, and the region of interest is output for display within a view of the conferencing software.

Multimedia communication concept (system) is a new original multimedia communication application software, platform, design and solution. The system may provide an original, standard set of video and VoIP communication and other features which already exist in the market such as, video talks (face to face video talk), Voice communication, IM (text messaging), document and file sharing etc. In addition, the system may add and control more cameras in video communication and elevate an entire video communication experience to the next level. The system may add a new quality and substance in sharing files, documents, pictures, videos, music videos, movies, dedicating a small multimedia window on the UI where user may pull out any of the above files, before deciding to share with another user. The system, with just a simple click on any window, with any content on the UI (file, picture, video, movie, and document) may transfer that content to the other user. The system may include an original control center which controls the entire service and synchronizes work of more cameras (picture and sound) and seamlessly immerses them in each other's living space, manually, by one click on the window on the UI, or by a sensitivity on motion and sound. The system may enable more private groups of contacts, such as immediate family circle, friends and family circle, favorite contacts, interest groups with a full privacy. The system may enable security monitoring service based on continuous motion and audio disturbances in the system.

A device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a housing that includes a bezel, a display operatively coupled to the processor, an adjustable extension recess and an adjustable extension extendible outwardly from the bezel and the display; and a camera mountable to the adjustable extension.

An e-learning system has a local classroom comprising a local student station and an instructor station, such that local students at the local student station and an instructor at the instructor station face each other directly along a first viewing line, a plurality of remote classrooms each having a student station, video cameras in each of the remote classrooms positioned and oriented to capture video images of subjects, video displays in the local classroom arranged along a line orthogonal to the first viewing line and all facing the local student station, in sets of at least two displays, arranged vertically one above another, each first set of at least two displays dedicated to one of the remote classrooms, a second plurality of video displays like the first, but facing the instructor, connection apparatus between classrooms, a server coordinating video feeds with displays.
