Abstract: A digital conference system can include a digital conference manager that automatically selects a digital conference service based on one or more digital conference parameters. A digital conference agent can request a digital conference configuration from a policy manager 204 that is based on the one or more digital conference parameters. The policy manager 204 can send the selected digital conference configuration to the digital conference agent that sends the selected digital conference configuration or an identifier associated with a digital conference service associated with the digital conference configuration to a digital conference service manager. The digital conference service manager establishes a digital conference connection based on the digital conference service received from the digital conference agent.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method and system for transferring a user session between a source device and a target device. The method may include receiving a request to transfer a user session from a source device to the target device, the user session corresponds to a running session between the source device and a session end point device, receiving session data corresponding to the user session transfer request, determining, at the target device, a corresponding launch application for the user session using the session data, launching the corresponding launch application to initiate a transfer of the user session; and replacing the source device in the running session by establishing a communication channel with the session end point device upon the launch of the corresponding launch application using the session data and terminating the user session at the source device.

Abstract: A companion device for use with a server device, a media device and a display device, the server device having stored therein a metadata manifest including metadata and time data associated with content and being configured to transmit the metadata manifest, the media device being configured to provide the content and content timing information to the display device, the display device being configured to display media, the content timing information being additionally associated with the time data, the companion device comprising: a memory having instructions stored therein; and a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to cause the companion device to: receive the content timing information from the media device; transmit a manifest request to the server device based on the content timing information; receive the metadata manifest from the server device; and instruct the display to display an icon based on the metadata.

Abstract: Many network devices initially connect to a network using a wireless frequency band that may not provide the best network performance. A wireless management module can determine that a network device, such as a mobile phone, is connected to the wireless network using an inferior wireless frequency band, for example, the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency band, even though a superior wireless frequency band, for example, the 5 GHz wireless frequency band is available or accessible. Based on a device setting, the wireless management module can automatically switch the mobile network device to the higher frequency wireless frequency band without requiring any user intervention. Additionally, or in the alternative, the wireless management module can prompt the user to allow switching to a different wireless frequency band. Switching to the higher frequency band improves network performance for the network device.
