Abstract: Quick Response barcodes (“QR Codes”) are used for videoconferencing between a peripheral device and a videoconferencing system, which can include a conferencing server and/or a videoconferencing unit. Conferencing related QR codes are embedded within video frames and are identified by either a peripheral device or a videoconferencing unit. Once identified, the device or unit acts according to the information provided by the QR code. The QR codes enables the peripheral device, videoconferencing unit, and conferencing server to operation in conjunction with one another even though one or more of the device may not share a compatible operation platform that would allow for direct communication of requests and responses.

Abstract: A multilingual multipoint videoconferencing system provides real-time translation of speech by conferees. Audio streams containing speech may be converted into text and inserted as subtitles into video streams. Speech may also be translated from one language to another, with the translated speech inserted into video streams as and choose the subtitles or replacing the original audio stream with speech in the other language generated by a text to speech engine. Different conferees may receive different translations of the same speech based on information provided by the conferees on desired languages.
