A transmission terminal transmits video data and display data of a screen shared with another transmission terminal to the other transmission terminal via a predetermined relay apparatus. The transmission terminal includes a storage unit that stores relay apparatus information of the relay apparatus to which the transmission terminal transmits the video data; a receive unit that receives the display data from an external input apparatus connected to the transmission terminal; and a transmitting unit that transmits the display data received by the receive unit to the relay apparatus indicated by the relay apparatus information stored in the storage unit.

Video relay services, communication systems, and methods are disclosed connecting users with N11 services in a video relay service environment. A video relay service may comprise at least one server configured to manage a customer database including customer records for audibly-impaired users of the video relay service, manage an N11 database including alternate numbers corresponding to N11 codes for a plurality of different locations defined by political boundaries, receive incoming video calls including an N11 code from a calling party, resolve the N11 code to an appropriate alternate number for an N11 service based on a political boundary for the calling party responsive to a query of the N11 database, establish a first connection between a video communication device associated with the calling party and a call assistant station associated with a sign language interpreter, and establish a second connection between the call assistant station and the N11 service.

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.

A transmission terminal transmits video data and display data of a screen shared with another transmission terminal to the other transmission terminal via a predetermined relay apparatus. The transmission terminal includes a storage unit that stores relay apparatus information of the relay apparatus to which the transmission terminal transmits the video data; a receive unit that receives the display data from an external input apparatus connected to the transmission terminal; and a transmitting unit that transmits the display data received by the receive unit to the relay apparatus indicated by the relay apparatus information stored in the storage unit.

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.

Systems and methods for superimposing the human elements of video generated by computing devices, wherein a first user device and second user device capture and transmit video to a central server which analyzes the video to identify and extract human elements, superimpose these human elements upon one another, adds in at least one augmented reality element, and then transmits the newly created superimposed video back to at least one of the user devices.

Methods, systems, and storage media for receiving a call on a television are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, at a communication device coupled to the television, a call; generate a message comprising details of the call; send, via a wireless link, the message to the television; cause for display, via the television, the details of the call; receive instructions to accept or reject the call; and initiate the call through the television when the call is accepted.

A computerized-method for providing real-time lockless parallel screen recording compliance enforcement to omni-channel cloud systems, is provided herein. In a processor of a client computer configured to execute code for recording events of one or more voice or digital interactions, on one or more screens associated to the client computer, the computerized-method maintains a cache for storing a masked state. Each interaction is having an associated interaction identifier and upon receiving a screen event from a server of a cloud-based video recording that is communicating with the client computer over a communication network, operating a compliance-enforcement module. The compliance-enforcement module includes updating the cache; and operating a module of recording of screen events for the screen events of the one or more voice or digital interactions. Thus, by updating in real-time the cache on the client computer refraining from database locks in the server of the cloud-based video recording.

A method for computer control of online social interactions based on conversation processing. A portion of a conversation with a given user is recorded, stored in memory, and processed so as to influence subsequent interactions. These may include audio or other contextualized annunciations of subsequent telephone calls. Other modes addressing conversational processing for social purposes can result in interwoven conversation guided among threads of interest, advertising and incented participation of conversational content and placement. The invention is capable of implementation in telecommunications systems such as cellular, local exchange, and VOIP, and in combination with other forms of internet-based telecommunication, including smart phones and adaptive forums chat rooms.
