Publication number: 20230231893Abstract: An apparatus and mechanism to manage multi-modal real-time or quasi real-time sessions such as voice, video, instant messaging, or web-conferencing across multiple devices through a simple subscription to a session management service. A user can subscribe to the service from many devices (e.g. mobile device, desk phone, personal computer, internet appliance, internet TV, communication terminal, etc.) and through the service seamlessly move sessions back and forth between subscribed devices. In a preferred embodiment, a user utilizes a “virtual slider” in a simple “two touch” procedure to effectuate the movement of a communication session from one device to another device via the service.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: RingCentral, Inc.Inventors: Doug CHAPPELLE, Johannes RUETSCHI, Jeffrey CRIPE, Ricardo De Lemos, Qiusheng JIANG, Robert HOFSTETTER, Hashim SHAFIQUE, Keith GLASNAPP, Rodrigo PASTRO, Jeff McNiece, Dinesh Kapani GOWDA, Luiz Cesar ZANIOLO, Viraj PURANIK, Christian GARBIN

Patent number: 11558437Abstract: A communication system can include terminal devices that communicate with a social network or a computer server device for scheduling use of conference resources and/or for using conference appliances that may be located in a conference room being used for a video conference or teleconference. The communication system can be configured to permit a user to use such resources without having to have a user's device be physically and directly connected by wiring to a conference appliance or communication device. The communication system can also be configured to validate participants to help ensure that only authorized personnel are properly attending a scheduled conference based on audio and/or video input received for the different participants and can also be configured to allow screen sharing to be performed during a video conference or teleconference.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: RINGCENTRAL, INC.Inventors: Johannes Ruetschi, Luiz Domingos, Christian Garbin, Thomas Lederer

Patent number: 11483425Abstract: A communication system, method and communication terminal are configured to facilitate private outputting of content of a message or communication session. A communication terminal can be configured via data included in a message or via a privacy setting to output content of data from a communication session or message in accordance with a pre-selected privacy setting or one or more privacy rules. For instance, a communication terminal may be configured to suppress a text to speech function for certain text messages, email messages, instant messages, or social networking messages that it receives having the privacy parameter set therein. As another example, a user may set the privacy parameter in his or her terminal so that any such message received by that terminal is output in accordance with the privacy setting or rules. A detection of nearby people can affect how certain content may be output via a terminal.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: RINGCENTRAL, INC.Inventors: Christian Garbin, Johannes Ruetschi

Publication number: 20220238194Abstract: A communication apparatus and method for augmenting at least one data stream (e.g. a video stream) with data obtained from at least one computer device can facilitate the generation of a user interface that can provide an enhancement in telecommunication services. For example, in some embodiments a video stream from a patient device that is involved in a telecommunication communication session that also include at least one medical care device can be augmented to include data from the patient's health records stored in a computer device such that a graphical user interface displayed on the medical care device can include medical record indicia positioned over an image of the patient to indicate different health records related to parts of the patient's body being displayed. The indicia can provide information related to the age of the medical data and/or other aspects of a medical record indicated by the indicia.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2021Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Johannes Ruetschi, Rodrigo Pastro, Christian Garbin

Patent number: 9860386Abstract: A second terminal sends a request to initiate a communication session with a first terminal to a server. The server signals the first terminal to initiate the communication session. The first terminal determines an offset amount based upon the redirection timer information. The offset amount is added to or subtracted from a redirection timer value to determine a modified redirection timer value that takes into account time that elapses between messaging exchanged between the server and the first terminal that affects the first terminal determination of an amount of time remaining in a redirection timer of the server such that the determined modified redirection timer value is equal in value or substantially equal in value to the amount of time remaining in the redirection timer of the server.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2013Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Unify GmbH & Co.
