20140215559 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION - In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for wireless connection from a supplicant device via a service path. The service path includes a peer-to-peer communication path. The method further includes, based on an indication received from the supplicant device, adapting an authentication method to the supplicant device. The adapting includes selecting at least one authentication factor from a plurality of supported authentication factors. Each of the plurality of supported authentication factors comprises an authentication path that is distinct from the service path. In addition, the method includes authenticating the supplicant device via each of the at least one authentication factor. | 07-31-2014 |
20140215585 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING CONNECTION CREDENTIALS - In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a connection with an access-point (AP) device via a first communication path. The method further includes establishing a connection with a proxy device for the AP device via a second communication path that is distinct from the first communication path. In addition, the method includes determining a set of connection credentials maintained by the AP device. Furthermore, the method includes determining a set of connection credentials maintained by the proxy device. Additionally, the method includes identifying a correct set of connection credentials. The correct set includes at least one of the first set and the second set. The method also includes synchronizing the first set and the second set according to the correct set. | 07-31-2014 |
20140222840 | INSERTION OF NON-REALTIME CONTENT TO COMPLETE INTERACTION RECORD - A system and method for assembling a full interaction record for a meeting with non-realtime interaction is disclosed.

20140270343 | EFFICIENT 360 DEGREE VIDEO PROCESSING - In accordance with the present disclosure, systems and method for efficient 360 degree video processing are described herein. A first image within a first frame of a video stream may be detected. The first frame may be partitioned into a first portion containing the first image and a second portion. An attempt may be made to detect the first image within a third portion of a subsequent frame that corresponds to the first portion of the first frame, and an attempt may not be made to detect a second image within a fourth portion of the subsequent frame that corresponds to the second portion of the first frame. Additionally, an attempt may be made to detect the second image within a fifth portion of at least one other subsequent frame that corresponds to the second portion of the first frame. | 09-18-2014 |
20150085064 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING TELECONFERENCE PARTICIPANT MUTE STATE - In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for managing a mute state of a participant in a teleconference may include detecting, based on analysis of at least one characteristic of audio data received from a microphone associated with the participant or image data received from a camera associated with the participant, whether the participant is attempting to speak to other teleconference participants. The method may also include providing an alert to the participant in response to a detecting that the participant is attempting to speak to other conference participants while the microphone is muted. | 03-26-2015 |
