  • Patent number: 11472351
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system comprises a first arm configured at a first position in a vertical direction. The system also comprises a second arm configured at a second position in the vertical direction, wherein the second arm is parallel to the first arm, and configured to hold a display along with the first arm in the vertical direction. The system can also include top connector connected to the first and second arm and configured below the first and second arm. The system can also include a bottom connector configured below the top connector. The bottom connector and top connector provide additional structure support for a v-slot for alignment and positioning to the front portion of the device and enable the first and second arm to securely hold the display at a front end of the device.

  • Patent number: 9088693
    Abstract: A videoconferencing unit comprises a display screen configured to display a video data stream comprising images of a far end participant. A processor is adapted to decode the video data stream and generate a modified region of the video data stream. The modified region of the video data stream is displayed on the display screen at a location where images of eyes of the far end participant are displayed on the display screen. A camera is configured with a lens to capture images of a near end participant through the modified region of the video data stream, with at least a portion of the lens positioned within the modified region of the video data stream.

  • Patent number: 8970655
    Abstract: A videoconferencing unit for enhancing direct eye-contact between participants can include a curved fully reflective mirror to reflect the image of the near end to a camera. The curved mirror can be placed in front of the display screen near a location where images of faces/eyes of far end participants are to appear. In another example, the videoconferencing unit can include a disintegrated camera configuration that provides an air gap between a front lens element and a rear lens element. The front lens element can be located behind an aperture within the display screen. The air gap can provide an unobstructed path to light from projectors and therefore avoid any undesirable shadows from appearing on the display screen. In another example, the videoconferencing unit can include a combination of the disintegrated camera configuration and mirrors for providing direct eye contact videoconferencing.
