  • Patent number: 12113839
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a missing meeting content manifest associated with missing meeting content for a meeting (e.g., a meeting session) in a meeting management system. A missing meeting content manifest—a record of data of meeting content—can be a file that identifies segments of data that are associated with the missing meeting content. In operation, the meeting management system detects that an attendee is disconnected from the meeting and later determines that the attendee has reconnected to the meeting. The meeting management system calculates a number of segments of the meeting content associated with a period of time the attendee was so disconnected and generates a missing meeting content manifest corresponding to the number of segments of the meeting content associated with the period of time the attendee was disconnected. The meeting management system communicates the missing meeting content manifest to the attendee device.

  • Patent number: 12067349
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for interoperability of computer software applications. Subdocuments are located within slots of a main document along with a fully-qualified file identifier. Subdocuments can be saved in the main document in an intermediate format. Editing a slot triggers the opening of the original document in its native application. An intermediate format file is then created and reimported into its original slot. A document containing subdocuments can be exported in its entirety from one program to another. An auxiliary program identifies a target template format and converts the original document to the target template in its native application using the original subdocuments. Page image exports are used to transfer all content in the original application document to a destination document in a different format.

  • Patent number: 11907521
    Abstract: A calling method can include determining, with a device, a position of a nearby device in response to detecting a signal transmitted from the nearby device and capturing, with a camera of the device, an image of an area near the device. Responsive to identifying an image of a call candidate appearing within the image of the area, a position of the call candidate can be determined from the image. The position of the call candidate can be correlated with the position of the nearby device based on proximity. Information associated with the call candidate can be retrieved based on the correlating. Based on the information retrieved, a visual identifier token corresponding to the call candidate can be generated. The visual identifier token can be presented on a display of the device and can be used by the user to initiate a call between the device and the nearby device.

  • Patent number: 11893541
    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to providing a zoomable meeting and collaborative canvas with image pointers. In example embodiments, a video management system establishes a zoomable meeting by communicatively coupling a plurality of user devices. A live audio/video feed is received from one or more users of the plurality of user devices. The system causes display of the zoomable meeting on a display of each of the plurality of user devices by displaying a zoomable canvas that enables movement of one or more image pointers that each show the live audio-video feed of one of the one or more users. The system monitors for an image pointer operation for one of the image pointers, whereby the image pointer operation comprises a navigation command or a zoom command. Based on the image pointer operation, the system causes an update to the zoomable canvas to display performance of the image pointer operation.
