Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing video data from one or more cameras to determine object association and room readiness within an environment. The system detects at least one person and at least one object, correlates the object to an identified person, and determines that the person has exited while the object remains. Based on the determination, one or more control actions are automatically initiated, such as sending a notification, updating a scheduling application, or presenting a visual alert. In another embodiment, video data is processed to detect readiness factors including, e.g., chair count, cleanliness, or whiteboard markings. A readiness score is compared to a stored threshold to determine whether the environment is ready for use, and control actions are initiated accordingly, including, e.g., reassigning meetings or adjusting building management settings.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system controls peripheral devices using artificial intelligence. Audio or video data captured by one or more microphones or cameras is processed to determine a participant's desire or related contextual information. Based on the determination, one or more peripheral devices are caused to act, such as by presenting related content or control outputs. The system may further note user sentiment regarding the actions taken and update a deep reinforcement learning model, enabling inference of subsequent desires. Sentiment may be derived from the processed audio or video data. In some embodiments, the system presents accompanying or supplemental context, optionally displayed via different portions of a user interface, to improve user interaction and understanding.

Abstract: An intelligent audiovisual control system is provided that utilizes a hierarchical, agentic artificial-intelligence framework. A large language model (LLM) operating as a room agent interprets input data and delegates execution to one or more task-specific LLMs that perform specialized functions. The system establishes communication among agents and includes an environment-assignment module for binding agents to physical environments or functional domains, and defines supervisory and subordinate relationships across physical environments. Each agent monitors sensor data and actuates connected control systems such as lighting, HVAC, and audiovisual equipment. The architecture enables scalable, context-aware, and privacy-preserving coordination of intelligent environments through distributed reasoning and autonomous task delegation.

Abstract: An audio, video and control (“AVC”) operating system is implemented on an AVC processing core coupled to one or more peripheral devices. Using a large learning model (“LLM”) module, the AVC system detects audio signals obtained from a user and infers oral commands from the audio signals. Thereafter, one or more actions corresponding to the oral commands are performed on the peripheral devices and/or the AVC processing core. In another embodiment, the AVC system obtains contextual awareness data of a room environment in which the AVC operating system functions. Thereafter, based upon the contextual awareness data, the system performs actions on the peripheral devices or AVC processing core.

Abstract: A system and method for a video conferencing system with meeting migration allows a client device to migrate a meeting from a first physical conference room to a second physical conference room. At any point during the meeting, the video conferencing system in the first physical conference room may be paused and the current state of the video conferencing system may be saved. The meeting may then be migrated to a second physical conference room. The contents of the shared display and other elements of the video conference are saved and restarted in the second physical conference room.

Abstract: A system and method for a video conferencing system with meeting migration allows a client device to host a video conference meeting while connected to a video conferencing system in a first conference room. At any point during the meeting, the video conference may be paused and the current state of the video conference in a first conference room may be saved. The video conference meeting may then be migrated to a second conference room without having to restart the video conference. Client devices that have connected to the video conferencing system as well as client devices that have joined the video conference, the contents of the shared display, and other elements of the video conference are saved and restarted in the second conference room.

Abstract: Systems and methods determine occupancy of a mobile device in a room based on one or more wireless signals measured by the mobile device. The mobile device receives and processes one or more wireless signals detectable in the room to generate a feature vector that is inputted to a classifier. The wireless signals may originate either in the room or out of the room. The feature vector contains wireless-signal characteristics measured by the mobile device (e.g., time-averaged power, Fourier coefficients) that are essentially unique to a room. The classifier, which may be an artificial neural network, predicts the occupancy of the mobile device in the room from the feature vector. Alternatively, the location of the mobile device in the room may be verified, wherein the feature vector may form a training example to train the classifier.

Abstract: A video conferencing room system and method may use a room calendar and a bridge to a personal calendar on a client device so a user may start a meeting in a video conferencing room without scheduling access to the room in advance. Further, the video conferencing room system may be used with video conferencing software running on the client device instead of the video conferencing room system. The room is equipped with a host controller connected to a display, camera, audio and/r other infrastructure in the room for running a video conference. A calendar parser identifies meeting calendar entries and determines meeting metadata. A room manager may facilitate a video conference and inform attendees.

Abstract: Particular embodiments relate generally to display systems and, more particularly, to display systems and methods for blending multiple images. A display system may include a first display source configured to generate a first image comprising illuminated points on a display surface, and a measurement device configured to measure an output energy value of the first image at output wavelengths for input values provided to the first display source. A normalized response function of the first display source corresponding to the measured output energy values for each output wavelength may be generated. A first response function that includes one or more of the normalized response functions of the first display source may be generated to derive corrected image input values corresponding to a desired output energy value at one or more illuminated points. The first display source may be controlled by applying the corrected input values.
