20150026595 | DETECTION OF SHARED CONTENT VIEWED BY ATTENDEES IN ONLINE MEETINGS - Techniques are presented herein for improving experiences in online meetings that include a plurality of attendee devices, where an attendee device is designated as a presenter. Shared content is provided from the presenter to at least one other attendee device engaged in the online meeting, and an indicator is automatically provided to at least one attendee device regarding whether a condition associated with the presenter providing the shared content has been satisfied. | 01-22-2015 |
20150052200 | Acquiring Regions of Remote Shared Content with High Resolution - Presented herein are techniques to enable a meeting participant/attendee at a first endpoint device in an online/web-based meeting/conference to acquire shared content with high resolution. The first endpoint device receives an initial image of content shared by a second endpoint in the online/web-based meeting/conference. At the first endpoint, the initial image of the shared content is displayed. A user selection of a selected region of the initial image is received at the first endpoint, and a second image of the shared content corresponding to the selected region is received at the first endpoint, wherein the second image has a higher resolution than the initial image. | 02-19-2015 |
20150058058 | Automatic Detection of Network Conditions Prior to Engaging in Online Activities - Techniques are described herein for establishing a network connection between a client device and a server over a network, and determining a network condition associated with engaging in an online activity by the client device over the network. In response to the network condition meeting an indicator criterion, a notification is provided to the client device prior to facilitating engagement of the client device in the online activity. | 02-26-2015 |
20150085057 | OPTIMIZED SHARING FOR MOBILE CLIENTS ON VIRTUAL CONFERENCE - In an example, a mobile device such as a tablet, phone, or similar, is configured for use with a virtual conference software provided by a virtual conference server. The mobile device is configured to receive one or more triggers such as battery-below-threshold, switch to a low-bandwidth data network, signal-below-threshold, switch to hands-free mode, switch to a short-range transceiver, lock screen, etc. Upon receiving the trigger, the mobile device enters a reduced-functionality state, where at least part of the virtual conference stream is disabled. | 03-26-2015 |
20150085707 | RENEWING AN IN-PROCESS MEETING WITHOUT INTERRUPTION IN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A method is provided in one example and includes establishing a connection with each of a first set of endpoints associated with meeting attendees, and establishing a first online meeting between the first set of endpoints associated with meeting attendees in which the first online meeting has a meeting identifier associated therewith. The method further includes receiving first context information associated with the first online meeting from at least one of the first set of endpoints associated with meeting attendees, and establishing a second online meeting between a second set of endpoints associated with meeting attendees without disconnecting at least one of the first set of endpoints associated with meeting attendees in which the second online meeting has the same meeting identifier as the first online meeting associated therewith. The method still further includes maintaining the first context information within the second online meeting. | 03-26-2015 |
20150128069 | Viewing Full Screen Applications in a Sharing Session - An attendee device in an online conference session views a shared application window in a full screen mode. The attendee device receives data for content being shared by a host device, including at least one application window at a first resolution. The attendee device receives an input to enter a full screen mode for one of the application windows and determines whether displaying that application window at a second resolution for the full screen mode requires the image data to be magnified. When displaying the application window at the second resolution requires magnified image data, the attendee device requests the magnified image data from the meeting server facilitating the conference session. The meeting server provides the magnified image data to the attendee device, and the attendee device displays the application window in full screen mode using the magnified image data. | 05-07-2015 |
20150200980 | Hybrid Client/Server Online Conference Session Management - A meeting server facilitates an online conference session between several endpoints. The meeting server receives a request to join the online conference session from a new endpoint. The meeting server identifies at least one endpoint that is already connected to the meeting server that can serve as a proxy endpoint for the new endpoint. This enables the new endpoint to receive data from the online conference session through a connection with the proxy endpoint. | 07-16-2015 |
20150312287 | Compacting Content in a Desktop Sharing Session - Techniques to enable an attendee device in an online conference session to view display content different from display content displayed on a host device. In one embodiment a method is provided in which display content that is to be shared with at least one attendee device in an online conference session is captured from a host device. An area containing blank space in the display content is identified. The display content is compacted by removing the area containing the blank space from the display content to obtain compacted content. The compacted content is composed to obtain a composed image configured to be shared with the attendee device, and the composed image is thereafter shared with the attendee device. | 10-29-2015 |
