  • Patent number: 12211317
    Abstract: The present disclosure relate to highlighting audience members with reactions to a presenter of an online meeting. Unlike physical, fact-to-face meeting that enables spontaneous interactions among the presenter and the audiences that are collocated with the presenter, presenting materials during an online meeting raises an issue of the present not being able to see real-time reactions or feedback by the audience members. The present disclosure addresses the issue by dynamically determining one or more audience members who indicate reactions during the online meeting or presentation and displaying faces of the one or more audience members under spotlight to the presenter. The presenter sees faces of the audience members with reactions during the online presentation and responds to the audience members and keep the audience engaged. The spotlight audience server analyzes video frames and determines types of reactions of the audience members.

  • Patent number: 6965594
    Abstract: An initiating mobile station (102) subscribes to a wireless communication system (109) for mobile communication service. A wireless remote access server (WRAS) (118) interacts with the wireless communication system as a subscribing mobile station would, but provides network connectivity to data information network, such as the Internet (108). The WRAS includes radio devices (120, 122) for communicating with the wireless communication system, and network control and routing (124). The WRAS sets up a network session with the target (104 or 106) to facilitate communication between the initiating mobile station and the target, via the wireless communication system and the network.
