IPC Code(s): G06F3/04815, G06F3/04845

CPC Code(s): G06F3/04815



Abstract: a graphical user interface (gui) may be configured for display at an output interface during a video conference. the gui may comprise visual elements associated with participant devices of the video conference. for example, the visual elements may include video feeds and/or images associated with the participant devices. during the video conference, a first visual element may be moved to a location in the gui based on a characteristic associated with the first visual element. the characteristic and the location may be based on an input. in some implementations, the visual elements may be arranged in a two-dimensional visual layout. in some implementations, the visual elements may be arranged in a three-dimensional visual layout. the visual elements may be moved, for example, based on a communication sent during the video conference, an arrival of a participant to the video conference, and/or a communication modality used during the video conference.

20240331381. Execution Of A Workflow Based On A Type Of Object Shared In A Video Conference_simplified_abstract_(zoom video communications, inc.)

Inventor(s): Alejandro Paiuk of West Hartford CT (US) for zoom video communications, inc.

IPC Code(s): G06V20/40, G06V20/62, G06V30/416

CPC Code(s): G06V20/46



Abstract: a video conference system for execution of a workflow based on a type of object shared in a video conference. the video conference system receives a video stream captured by a camera device of a first participant of a video conference; performs object detection on the video stream during the video conference to determine an object type of an object presented by the first participant to the camera device; determines a workflow related to the object type based on the determined object type; and outputs data for executing the workflow at a device of a second participant of the video conference.


20240333388. Using A Light Communications System To Cause An Update Associated With A Virtual Meeting_simplified_abstract_(zoom video communications, inc.)

Inventor(s): Shane Paul Springer of Oregon City OR (US) for zoom video communications, inc.

IPC Code(s): H04B10/114

CPC Code(s): H04B10/1143



Abstract: a user device may use a light communications system to detect, from a light source in a physical space, light in a pattern that represents encoded information. the light communications system may include a sensor and an emitter. the user device may decode the encoded information based on the pattern to cause an update associated with a virtual meeting. in some implementations, the update may include the user device joining the virtual meeting using a meeting identifier. in some implementations, the update may include adjusting a microphone or a speaker in the physical space. in some implementations, the update may include a pairing between the user device and a second device that enables bidirectional communication between the user device and the second device.


20240333389. Determining A Light Pattern To Configure A User Device For A Virtual Meeting_simplified_abstract_(zoom video communications, inc.)

Inventor(s): Shane Paul Springer of Oregon City OR (US) for zoom video communications, inc.

IPC Code(s): H04B10/116

CPC Code(s): H04B10/116



Abstract: a system device may determine a light pattern that represents encoded information associated with a virtual meeting. the system device may cause a light communications system to emit the light pattern. the light communications system may include a sensor and an emitter. the light pattern may configure a user device that detects the light pattern to perform an update associated with the virtual meeting. in some implementations, the light pattern may be constrained to a zone in a physical space. in some implementations, the system may use a facial recognition system to locate a person in the physical space when light from the light communications system is occluded.

CPC Code(s): H04L12/1818



Abstract: a device of a proposed participant of the video conference receives an invitation to a video conference. the device provides, via a display of the device and based on the invitation, a graphical user interface element comprising a first graphical user interface icon for accepting the invitation, a second graphical user interface icon for rejecting the invitation, and a third graphical user interface icon for requesting a recording of the video conference. the first graphical user interface icon, the second graphical user interface icon, and the third graphical user interface icon are displayed simultaneously within the graphical user interface element. the device receives receiving a selection of the third graphical user interface icon. the device transmits a signal requesting the recording in response to the selection.


20240333779. Using A Peripheral Device To Transition Between User Devices Within A Video Conference_simplified_abstract_(zoom video communications, inc.)

Inventor(s): Shane Paul Springer of Oregon City OR (US) for zoom video communications, inc.

IPC Code(s): H04L65/1094, H04L12/18, H04L65/1093, H04N7/14

CPC Code(s): H04L65/1094



Abstract: a system may transmit, from a first user device connected to a video conference and associated with a conference participant, an indication to a peripheral device to temporarily buffer a portion of media content of the video conference. the system may perform, within the video conference, a transition of the conference participant from the first user device to a second user device connected to the video conference including causing the peripheral device to relay the portion of the media content during the transition. in some implementations, the portion of the media content may be buffered by storing less than a predefined amount of time of the media content received by the first user device in a random access memory of the peripheral device.


20240333838. Distributing Queries To Agent Group Devices_simplified_abstract_(zoom video communications, inc.)

Inventor(s): Yongxiang Dai of Hefei (CN) for zoom video communications, inc., Xu Hua Li of San Jose CA (US) for zoom video communications, inc., Fengkai Zhang of Hefei (CN) for zoom video communications, inc.

IPC Code(s): H04M3/523, H04M3/51

CPC Code(s): H04M3/5236



Abstract: the distribution of incoming queries to a customer interaction center agent group is parallel processed amongst agents of that group to improve queue wait times. a threshold number of queries that may be processed by agent devices associated with the agent group at a given time are defined based on a number of agents of the agent group that are available at the given time. in response to determining that the number of queries is satisfies the threshold number of queries based on the number of agents that are available at a current time, a number of queries awaiting processing are distributed to one or more agent devices of the agent group. the threshold number of queries may be based on half of the number of agents that are available at the given time.
