A computer-implemented online conferencing transactional platform system comprising an interaction module, a video-conferencing module, and a storage device may allow multiple participants in a video-conference to access, co-browse, collaboratively edit, and sign a transactional document. An interaction module fetches an image of a transactional document and a field identifier for an interactive transactional document element to be filled out from a remotely-connected secure signature API, and displays the image of the document, along with the interactive transactional document element on a webpage interface to a moderator and a signer end user in a video-conference. The interaction module receives a filled-out transactional document in an I-frame from the secure signature API, allowing the signer end user to sign the transactional document using a secure embedded signature process.

A communication management system manages the exchange of messages between devices using different communication networks and/or protocols. A sender device may transmit a message (e.g., a short message service “SMS” message) to a destination associated with a traditional “landline” phone number. The message may be delivered over a traditional landline phone network. The communication management system can receive the message via the phone network, process the message, and provide the message to one or more electronic devices over a packet switched network, such as a local area network or the Internet. The electronic devices may use chat-based application software to process and display the message, provide robust message handline functionality, and facilitate responses to the message.

A conference system is provided with enhanced settings capabilities. A controller can poll for settings at each endpoint in a conference system and be able via the video stream to selectively display and compare settings among the endpoints. One location can push its settings to one or more locations to overcome failures or degradation in the conference. The settings between different controllers may be rationalized via a common denominator method or tabular method to build a knowledge of how to configure conferences and to automate responses to problems.

A communication control device is configured to control data communication between terminals using a communication network. The communication control device include: a status-information acquiring unit configured to acquire respective pieces of status information which represent operating states of the terminals; a reception-information acquiring unit configured to acquire respective pieces of reception information which represent states of the communication network when the terminals have received data; a communication determining unit configured to determine a type of communication on the basis of a combination of pieces of status information of multiple terminals that participate in the same communication; and a quality control unit configured to control quality of data that each terminal transmits or receives on the basis of the determined type of communication and the acquired reception information.

Examples associated with room capture and projection are disclosed. One example includes an information management module that may maintain information regarding a virtual space and a first digital object within the virtual space. The first digital object may be associated with an artifact in a physical space. A room calibration module may map the virtual space to the physical space using sensors to detect attributes of the physical space. A capture module may record a modification to the artifact to be maintained by the information management module. A projection module may project a representation of a second digital object into the physical space. The representation may be projected based on a signal from the information management 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.

The present disclosure relates to a telepresence system that enables better communication. The telepresence system includes: a network that connects a plurality of bases; and a plurality of telepresence apparatuses that transmit and receive video images and sound via the network, and share the video images and the audio between the respective bases. Further, in each of the telepresence apparatuses, a presentation device that performs presentation for prompting communication by users at different bases is disposed at the center of a shared communication space in which the users communicate with each other. The present technology can be applied to a telepresence system, for example.

One example method for virtual expo booth previews includes joining a virtual expo hosted by a video conference provider, the virtual expo including a plurality of virtual expo booths; presenting a graphical representation of the virtual expo and one or more virtual expo booths of the plurality of virtual expo booths; receiving an input indicating a first expo booth of the plurality of virtual expo booths; receiving, from the video conference provider, one or more multimedia streams associated with the first virtual expo booth; and presenting the one or more multimedia streams

A telephone call is elevated to a virtual meeting while maintaining the telephone call as an audio channel of the virtual meeting for an audio-only caller. During a telephone call, one of the participants of the telephone call requests to switch the telephone call to a virtual meeting. To enable an audio-only caller participating in the telephone call to switch to the virtual meeting, a message is transmitted to the phone device of the audio-only caller. Responsive to an interaction with the message at the phone device, the phone device is connected to the virtual meeting in which the telephone call is maintained as the audio channel at least for the audio-only caller. The specific form and content of the message is based on whether a client application associated with a web service used to implement the virtual meeting is installed on the phone device.

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for establishing network-based data communications (e.g., voice calls, video calls, etc.) between a user device of a user and a remote device of another user, and transitioning the data communications to a different user device of the user based on various types of information. In some examples, the user devices may be located in one or more environments of the user, and the data communications may be transitioned between the user devices based, at least in part, on a location of the user in the environment(s) relative to the multiple devices. For instance, if a user device is performing data communications with the remote device, but it is determined that the user has moved into a closer proximity to another user device, the performance of the data communications may be transitioned to the other user device to which the user is in closer proximity.
