Patent number: 12323472Abstract: A method, device and system for providing user-centric connections to a location comprising digital collaboration tools, as well as software for carrying out the method. The method includes a network device having a beacon system for proximity detection and a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). A confirmed BYOD proximity can be used to initiate the setup of a data channel between the network device and the BYOD, and further join the BYOD to a UC (Unified Communications systems and tools) session.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2024Date of Patent: June 3, 2025Assignee: BARCO N.V.Inventors: Michaël Toon Andre Arthur Vanderheeren, Gauthier Renard, Laurens Cyrille Vandenbroucke, Johan Peter Frans Degraef

Publication number: 20250004967Abstract: A system and method for connecting a processing device to a functional device connected to or in a base unit of a wireless connection. The system includes the base unit, a functional device connected to or in the base unit, and the processing device having a memory, a display device, an operating system, a third-party software for a UC call, and having a driver and/or a client software which are/is configured to have the processing device interact directly with the base unit over a wireless connection. The base unit is configured to transmit data over the wireless connection to the processing device, and the driver and/or the client software are/is configured to present the functional device to the operating system of the processing device as a virtual functional device, and the third-party software for the UC call is presented with the virtual functional device for the UC call.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: BARCO N.V.Inventors: Gauthier RENARD, Johan Peter Frans DEGRAEF

Publication number: 20240320176Abstract: A first peripheral device for making a functional device available to a processing device. The first peripheral device is configured to expose at least one fixed or configurable endpoint and to receive first processed video data. The first peripheral device is configured to process the first processed video data to generate second video data and to make the second video data available, such that the operating system of the processing device is configured to capture the second video data and to make the second video data available through a custom or standard driver to an application running on a processing device. The first peripheral device is configured to receive a third video data, and to process the third video data to form a second processed video data, and to transmit the second processed video data to the base unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicant: BARCO N.V.Inventors: Gauthier RENARD, Johan Peter Frans DEGRAEF
