Abstract: An adjustable head and shoulder support apparatus for use with a mobile phone includes a mobile device case having opposing top and bottom ends and configured to hold the mobile phone, the case including a rear face. The apparatus includes a support arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the rear face proximate the top end and a second end opposed from the first end. The support arm is pivotally movable between a stowed configuration adjacent the rear face and an extended configuration displaced from the rear face. The rear face of the case defines a recess that includes an upper portion having a generally circular configuration and a lower portion in communication with the upper portion. The support arm is nested in the lower portion of the recess at the stowed configuration and is displaced from the lower portion of the recess at the extended configuration.

Abstract: A video compositing device includes a communication device that communicates with a video receiver station over a network and receives video streams from various video sources. The compositing device stores configuration settings, which indicate the size, position, zoom and/or color depth for views in a composite image that is formed from the video streams. The compositing device uses the video streams to generate the composite image as indicated by the configuration settings and transmits the composite image to the video receiver station. The compositing module also receives from the video receiver station information indicating a change in one or more one of the size, position, zoom or color depth of a selected view in the composite image, and then updates the configuration settings to reflect these changes. Subsequent composited images are generated in accordance with the updated configuration settings.
