According to a still another embodiment, a technique is provided to enable on-demand designation of frames as key-frames during a desktop sharing function of an online conference session. | 2015-02-05 |
| 20150039689 | SOCIAL QUEUE - Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a request from a user device to add a user identifier to a queue and, in response, transmit a current position for the user identifier in the queue. The first user identifier is promoted to an improved position in the queue in response to receiving an indication of performance of an action associated with the first user identifier. | 2015-02-05 |
| 20150039690 | Inferring Social Groups Through Patterns of Communication - Software authenticates the user of a social networking service which maintains one or more lists of contacts associated with the user that can be used by the user to selectively share content. The software ascertains a proposed group of contacts from at least one of the lists. The user and members of the proposed group are related by a plurality of communications and the communications are associated with one or more attributes including at least one of geographic locations associated with the communication, time of communication, or medium of communication. The software presents the proposed group of contacts to the user, with a recommendation that the user create a new list of contacts associated with the user from the proposed group of contacts. The software creates the new list of contacts from the proposed group, if the user indicates acceptance of the recommendation. | 2015-02-05 |
| 20150039691 | System and Methods for Dynamic Floor Control in Group Communications - Dynamic floor control in group communications may include allocating floor time to participants according to a floor control function. To determine the amount of floor time to allocate to each participant, an embodiment floor control function may factor in parameters including the number of active participants in the group communication, the overall likeability of each participant, and the popularity ranking for each participant. In an embodiment, parameters such as overall likeability may be based on votes received from other participants. Parameters may be updated during the group communication to adjust participants' floor time. If a participant is granted the floor or speaks, a countdown timer may be started that decrements the participant's remaining floor time until the participant releases the floor or runs out of floor time. Once the countdown timer expires, the participant may be denied the floor and/or may no longer speak in the group communication. | 2015-02-05 |
| 20150039692 | SHARING CONTENT WITHIN AN EVOLVING CONTENT-SHARING ZONE - A user selects a content item that he wishes to send. He then performs a “sending” gesture and specifies an initial “content-sharing zone.” In order to be eligible to receive the selected content item, a receiving device must be located within the content-sharing zone. However, the content-sharing zone can evolve over time. It can grow in size, change shape, or move (e.g., it can remain centered on the sending user as he moves). A potential recipient makes a “receiving” gesture, and, if the location of the receiving device is located within the evolving content-sharing zone, as currently defined, then the content item is sent from the sending device to the receiving device (either directly or via a content server). A maximum size or duration of the evolving content-sharing zone can be specified. Other restrictions can be stated so that, for example, only intended recipients can receive the content item. | 2015-02-05 |
| 20150039693 | CONTENT AND POSTED-INFORMATION LINK METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING TERMINAL - An information processing terminal is connected to an external server via the information sharing system (WEB) so as to implement Twitter, social networking services, and text posting services. The information processing terminal is used to receive a desired content (e.g. a television broadcast content), to browse the posted information posted on the WEB from the external server, to select at least one classified information (e.g. hash tags) used to classify the posted information from among a plurality of classified information, to obtain at least one classified information with reference to the external server, and to simultaneously display at least one classified information linked with the desired content. The information processing terminal simultaneously displays a content display screen used to display the desired content and a posting service display screen used to display a plurality of posted information browsed from the external server. | 2015-02-05 |
| 20150039694 | SYNCHRONIZED WEB-BROWSING - A computer apparatus, and computer-based method for sharing of clickstreams and demographic information between users browsing the Internet, including a graphical user interface and database for clickstream data capture and storage that is combined across multiple users. Also described is synchronized web browsing in real time across multiple Internet browsing devices, and the use of WebSockets to communicate URL's/URI's loaded by a leader to all participants, thereby permitting the participants to the same URL/URI at the same time. The technology is implemented via a web browser extension, or as an app on a mobile device. Also described are ways for users to add free-form content, including but not limited to text, to individual URL's, and for managing access to such content by the individuals themselves or by other individuals whereby the content creator can select who can view the content when the URL/URI is viewed through an Internet browsing device. | 2015-02-05 |
