  • Publication number: 20200275058
    Abstract: An example electronic device includes a memory to store a user profile including first identifying information of a first participant in a conference call. A receiver receives second identifying information of the first participant from a transmitting device associated with the first participant, wherein the first identifying information and the second identifying information form an identifier for the first participant. An audio encoder receives an audio signal. A processor, in response to determining which transmitting device is nearest to a source of the audio signal relative to other transmitting devices, identifies the first participant as a source of the audio signal, and combines the identifier for the first participant with the audio signal generated by the first participant. A router forwards the combined identifier and audio of the first participant to a receiving device of a second participant in the conference call.

  • Patent number: 10754747
    Abstract: In one implementation, a system for providing a representation of a physical location of a port includes an identifier engine, a configuration engine, and a display engine. In an example, the identifier engine retrieves a value stored on a first memory resource located on a system board. In an example, a configuration engine identifies a memory resource location on a second memory resource that is to store physical port information using a system identifier associated with the value. In an example, a display engine causes the physical port information to be displayed.
