Abstract: HID based control of video data conversion at a tablet docking station configurable as adapter for video conference systems is provided. HID protocol may be used for additional host control functions for a docking station in tele-conferencing applications such as host notifications and control of an interface that facilitates communication between video conference system and a tablet or similar computing device. The tablet HID side may handle communication. A descriptor table for allowing custom commands and instructions to be exchanged may reside at the docking station. For example, the custom HID protocol may provide host notifications for events such as HDMI connect, HDMI disconnect, as well as video resolution change.

Abstract: A device identifies users who is trying to interact with it and monitors their state. Using this user state information, the device dynamically adjusts a user interface, speech grammars, screen flow, input options, and the like to tailor interaction with the device to the user. The user interface and device interaction may also be influenced by user-specific settings or profiles. The device may prevent or allow user interaction with the device based on the user's state, such as a position relative to the device. For example, the device may prevent or allow the user from using a set of speech or gesture commands or other interaction sets based on the user's position or relative location.
