Abstract: A method and system for conducting meetings, e.g. making it easy for the user to connect his device to the meeting or come to a common shared view of the meeting content, where all devices participating in the meeting are located within one physical meeting room. In another embodiment, at least some devices are located outside the meeting room. In principle there is no meeting room necessary, but all devices can be distributed anywhere in a region or in the world, and after connection, the meeting content is shared to all physical meeting rooms and remote devices of the system.

Abstract: A method and system for conducting meetings, e.g. making it easy for the user to connect his device to the meeting or come to a common shared view of the meeting content. In the method and system, all devices participating in the meeting are located within one physical meeting room. Alternatively, at least some devices are located outside the meeting room. In principle there is no meeting room necessary, but all devices can be distributed anywhere in a region or in the world, and after connection, the meeting content is shared to all physical meeting rooms and remote devices of the system.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing immersive visualization at low bandwidth rates. The system retrieves a frame of multimedia information for transmission over a network and converts the frame from a first color space to a second color space. The system slices the frame into a plurality of frame slices and transforms each of the plurality of frame slices into a plurality of corresponding frequency domain components. The system quantizes the frequency domain components of each frame slice, when the frame slice to be processed is an intra-slice or a refresh slice, to generate quantized frequency domain components of each frame slice. The system variable-length encodes the quantized frequency domain components of each frame slice to generate compressed multimedia information associated with each frame slice. The system constructs network packets of the compressed multimedia information associated with each frame slice, and transmits the network packets via the network.

Abstract: A system of controlling and managing voice and data services in a telecommunications network includes a media gateway interface coupled to a plurality of diverse voice and data media gateways operating under diverse protocols in the telecommunications network, the media gateway interface being operable to communicate service logic with the media gateways. A media gateway controller is in communications with the media gateway interface and media gateways and carries out service logic for a voice or data service according to input received from the media gateways. The system also includes a service management subsystem in communications with the media gateway controller and being operable to provision services with customers and provide service management tools for managing the services, and a service creation subsystem in communications with the service management subsystem and being operable to provide service creation tools for creating the service logic of the services.
