  • Patent number: 9866882
    Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a client device configured to communicate with a remote system over a network. The client device comprises a processor, a memory, an input device and a display. The client device is configured to detect an input event generated at the input device, to store in the memory a local time associated with the input event, and to transmit information characterizing the input event to the remote system over the network. The client device is configured to receive from the remote system a video signal comprising an event index of the input event. An event index is extracted from the video signal, and a round-trip latency is computed between the input event and a corresponding video output of the client device based at least in part on a local time associated with the extracted event index and the stored local time associated with the input event.

  • Patent number: 9792419
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing shared-license software management are provided. Shared-license software management may be performed by generating a request for a license for running a process of a shared-license software application. The request is communicated to a license server, and the process is made available for scheduling an operation when a grant for the requested license is received from the license server, wherein the grant comprises a license quantum, which is an amount of central processing unit time for which the license has been granted to the process.

  • Publication number: 20170168994
    Abstract: A manner of facilitating document presentation that may be used to advantage, for example, by a presenter in a meeting room or auditorium setting. A document-presentation system includes a control server that receives a document-presentation indication, for example from a presenter device or another apparatus in a meeting room or associated with a meeting. The control server communicates with the presenter, or user, and determines the document or documents to be presented and a location from which they may be obtained. The control server then sends a presentation notice to a selected render server, which downloads and renders the document. The render server renders the document to a frame buffer in local memory, encodes the pixels read from the frame buffer, and streams the encoded pixels to an adapted display device in a selected location. The render server communicates with the user via the presenter device to start, control, and terminate the presentation.
