Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for secure media stream distribution across different platforms associated with different Internet domains. A first node of a first platform receives a first request from a device, performs a first verification based on credentials provided by the device matching stored credentials, generates a first signed token, and provides the first signed token with a second link for the device to access the requested media stream from a second network node of a second platform. The second network node determines that the device was verified at the first network node based on a second stream request from the device including the first signed token, generates a second token that uniquely identifies the device in the second domain, and streams requested stream data to the device in response to performing a second verification based on requests for the stream data including the second token.

The systems and methods may include receiving a link associated with a resource from a sender to a recipient. The systems and method may further include displaying a resource preview as a function of the received link and a stored preview-setting profile. The preview-setting profile may include a recipient-based preview setting, an environment-based preview setting, or a sender-based preview setting.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for improving caller verification is provided. The method comprises registering an intended communications session by generating a key using, at least, a first call time window identifier, and storing the key in a database; in response to registering the intended communication session, receiving a request for caller verification, wherein the request comprises data representing a second call time window identifier; in response to receiving the request for caller verification, generating a comparison key based on the request; comparing the comparison key with the key stored in the database; and verifying the intended communication session in response to comparing the comparison key with the key.

Abstract: A temporal sequence of pictures is generated in a method for encoding of a first video stream. To do so, a synchronization signal can be used, which can be derived from a second video stream independently of the first video stream. Alternatively, the encoding of a second video stream independent of the first video stream can be based on the same principle as for the encoding of the first video stream.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an input data from a host to schedule a meeting. The input data may include invitees to the meeting and a time/date associated with the meeting. A first and a second set of invitees from the invitees are determined. The first set of invitees is identified to start a pre-meeting meeting prior to the meeting scheduled at the time/date. The second set of invitees is identified to start the meeting at the time/date. It is appreciated that the pre-meeting meeting and the meeting are merged into a single meeting at a predetermined threshold of time.

Abstract: Disclosed is a conference monitoring system that classifies conversations and performs automated actions based on different context detected within the conversations. The system receives conversations that result in an unsuccessful engagement, classifies different segments of the conversations with contextual trackers that identify different context within each segment, and determines a recurring pattern of a common set of contextual trackers in different segments of the conversations that contribute to the unsuccessful engagement. The system monitors a particular conversation, tags one or more segments of the particular conversation with the common set of contextual trackers, and performs an automated action that contributes to a successful engagement in response to tagging the one or more segments with the common set of contextual trackers and the common set of contextual trackers contributing to the unsuccessful engagement.

Abstract: A method includes capturing a first image associated with a portion of a display screen being shared. The method further includes rendering the first image in a preview window of the display screen being shared to form a second image. The second image is captured so as to determine whether the first image is duplicated in the second image. The duplication of the first image in the second image is masked to form a third image. The third image is rendered in the preview window.

Abstract: Disclosed is a localized conference system and associated methods for performing a zero-configuration pairing of a first device and a second device. The pairing causes the first device to receive pairing codes that are transmitted from different devices in a wireless range of the first device. The pairing causes the first device to receive alphanumeric characters that are unique to a particular pairing code and that include less than all of the alphanumeric characters of the particular pairing code. The pairing causes the first device to decode a network address of the second device from the particular pairing code, and to establish a network connection with the second device using the network address that is decoded from the particular pairing code. The pairing causes the first device to remotely control the second device or a conference streaming through the second device with messaging passed through the network connection.
