An image display method applicable to a video conferencing system with a wide-angle webcam is disclosed. The wide-angle webcam is used to capture a panoramic image having an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 2:1. The method includes: framing multiple regions of interest (ROIs) according to the panoramic image, each ROI having at least one of attributes; selecting one from predetermined frame layouts as an output frame layout according to whether to insert a portion of the panoramic image and attributes, positions and the number of the ROIs; and inserting at least one of the portion of the panoramic image and the ROIs into corresponding windows in the output frame layout to form a composite frame according to the attributes of the ROIs.

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for artificial intelligence communication assistance for the editing of electronic communications utilizing user communication profiles.

Methods and apparatus are provided for establishing a parallel call session based on a 3-Box architecture. Connection information of a first electronic device is received from a first control point. A video call request message is generated for requesting setup for a video call. The video call request message includes the connection information of the first electronic device. The video call request message is sent to a second mobile device. The connection information of the first electronic device is transmitted to a second control point, to request video call setup.

A radio communication system integrating voice radio signals with an audio-video conference session that includes at least one two-way radio configured to wirelessly transmit and receive voice radio signals with a radio control station, a radio communication controller comprising a first audio interface, a second audio interface, and a radio control processor, and configured to transmit and receive audio signals with the radio control station through the first audio interface, and an audio-video conferencing system configured to transmit and receive audio signals with the radio communication controller through the second audio interface. A voice radio channel of the at least one two-way radio is provided to the audio-video conferencing system through the radio control station and the radio communication controller to participate in the audio-video conference session.

Described is a method for registering and executing instructions in a video capturing device and to a door station. The method comprises receiving at a video capturing device a signal(s) representing a first input made using an authorized device, generating a graphical representation of the received signal(s), superimposing the graphical representation onto video captured by the video capturing device and streamed to the authorized device, receiving at the video capturing device, after the signal(s) representing an input made at the authorized device have been received and graphical representations have been generated and superimposed onto video captured by the video capturing device and streamed to the authorized device, a concluding signal representing a concluding input made using the authorized device, translating, in response to said concluding input, the received signal(s) into an instruction executable by the image capturing device, and executing the instruction resulting from the translation of the signal(s).

Various embodiments enable a video messaging experience which permits the exchange of short video messages in an asynchronous manner. The video messaging experience preserves the video intimacy and experience of synchronous-type video communications, while at the same time provides the convenience of SMS-type message exchange.

A peer-to-peer forwarding node supports the operation of a teleconference across a telecommunications network. The telecommunications network comprises a plurality of nodes including one or more source locations and one or more remote locations. The teleconference includes teleconference participants at each of the source and remote locations. The peer-to-peer forwarding node is located at a given one of the plurality of nodes. The peer-to-peer forwarding node comprises a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver receives a request from a telecommunications controller to provide peer-to-peer forwarding of a media signal to be received from a first one of the source locations to a first one of the remote locations and which further receives the media signal from the first one of said source locations. The transmitter forwards the media signal from the first one of the source locations to the first one of the remote locations.

An information processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine whether a first communication port used by a first communication protocol is available and whether a second communication port used by a second communication protocol is available; and a determination result display unit configured to display a determination result for the first communication port and a determination result for the second communication port individually on a display unit.

Methods and systems for mobile video communications may include using a wireless network for video communications when a wired network is unavailable by providing portable mobile communications equipment to enable video communications and collaborations over a cellular, satellite or other wireless network. The methods and systems may use two or more network connections to transmit data packets for the video communications or collaborations. In addition, the methods and systems may use machine learning and predictive switching technology to determine the data paths for transmission of the data for the video communications or collaborations.

A wireless communication terminal includes an encoder, configured to encode content data; a destination setting section, configured to set a network address on feedback data for the wireless communication terminal, the network address being set on the wireless communication terminal; a transmitter, configured to transmit the feedback data; a receiver, configured to receive the feedback data transmitted form the transmitter and transferred by way of the wireless communication network; and a reproduction processor, configured to perform reproduction processing on the content data in accordance with the received feedback data.
