IPC Code(s): H04L65/403, H04L65/401
CPC Code(s): H04L65/403
Abstract: follower devices are controlled in a companion mode designation by a leader device during a video conference. based on a leader device and one or more follower devices within a physical space each connecting to a video conference, the one or more follower devices are designated in a companion mode in which the leader device maintains control over each of the one or more follower devices for the video conference. at each of the one or more follower devices, based on the companion mode designation for the follower device, first content of the video conference is output for display and second content to share to one or more remote conference devices connected to the video conference is captured. the leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.

CPC Code(s): H04L65/80
Abstract: a telephony node determines whether a session initiation request is associated with audio or video communication with an external station. the telephony node determines a session type for a session based on whether the session initiation request is associated with the audio or video communication with the external station, the session type comprising at least one of a public switched telephone network session or a voice over internet protocol session. the telephony node causes initiation of the session based on the determination of the session type.

IPC Code(s): H04N7/15, H04L12/18
CPC Code(s): H04N7/15
Abstract: follower devices within a physical space are automatically activated and/or deactivated during a video conference. the follower devices are paired to a leader device within the physical space to enable a companion mode designation for the follower devices during a video conference. based on a connection of the leader device to the video conference and based on the pairing between the leader device and a follower device of the follower devices, an event associated with the follower device is determined. based on the event and the companion mode designation of the follower device, an action associated with the follower device is performed. the leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.

IPC Code(s): H04N7/15, H04L12/18
CPC Code(s): H04N7/15
Abstract: a follower device within a physical space is authenticated for leader device control during a video conference. the follower device is paired to a leader device within the physical space to enable a companion mode designation for the follower device during a video conference. based on a connection of the leader device to the video conference, the follower device is caused to connect to the video conference according to the companion mode designation, and name information identifying a conference participant using the follower device is determined. a representation of the follower device within the video conference is updated to indicate the name information. the leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.

IPC Code(s): H04N7/15, H04L12/18, H04L65/4038
CPC Code(s): H04N7/15
Abstract: the output of visual content at various follower devices within a physical space is selectively controlled during a video conference. multiple displays located at a physical space are designated as follower devices, in which the follower device designation of the multiple displays enables a leader device located at the physical space to control the multiple displays for a video conference. a configuration is enforced to cause, during the video conference, an output of first visual data associated with the video conference at a first display of the multiple displays and an output of second visual data associated with the video conference at a second display of the multiple displays. the leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.

IPC Code(s): H04N7/15, H04L12/18, H04L65/4038
CPC Code(s): H04N7/15
Abstract: the capture of video streams using follower devices is controlled by a leader device during a video conference. multiple cameras located at a physical space and connected to the leader device within the physical space are identified. the multiple cameras are designated as follower devices for the video conference, in which the follower device designation enables the leader device to control the follower devices during the video conference. each of the cameras is caused to determine and capture a select video stream depicting one or more conference participants within the physical space. at least some of the select video streams are used to represent the physical space within the video conference. the leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.

IPC Code(s): H04N7/15, G10L15/22, H04L65/1089, H04L65/403
CPC Code(s): H04N7/15
Abstract: aspect ratios used to display video streams within a graphical user interface (gui) of a video conference are dynamically adjusted based on events detected during the video conference. according to one approach, during a video conference between a first device and a second device, a first video stream from the first device and a second video stream from the second device are both displayed within the gui using an initial aspect ratio. based on the first video stream, an event corresponding to a change in a number of people participating in the video conference from the first device is determined. based on the event, an adjusted aspect ratio to use for displaying the first video stream within the gui is determined. the first video stream is displayed within the gui using the adjusted aspect ratio while the second video stream remains displayed within the gui using the initial aspect ratio.
