  • Patent number: 9781175
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises a presenter device controlling a web-based collaboration session with session participants via a collaboration server; receiving by the presenter device a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response from a web server, the HTTP response dynamically generated by the web server according to a presenter context associated with a presenter using the presenter device; the presenter device delegating the presenter context based on sending the HTTP response to the collaboration server for presentation of the HTTP response to the at least one session participant, enabling the at least one session participant to independently control viewing of at least a portion of the HTTP response according to the presenter context.

  • Patent number: 9251760
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for providing copy protection from capturing a displayed image using one or more camera devices. Embodiments generate a plurality of frames, based on the received image, such that when the plurality of frames are displayed using at least a threshold refresh rate, the displayed plurality of frames appears as the received image when viewed by a user, and the displayed plurality of frames appears as one of a plurality of other images when captured by an image capture device. The plurality of frames are then output for display on one or more display devices configured to use at least the threshold refresh rate.

  • Patent number: 7840450
    Abstract: A system for storing and retrieving data associated with an identification of a RFID device. The invention receives data and a list of RFIDs associated with data. The system then stores the data in a memory and stores a record of an association by the data and each RFID. When the system receives a request for data that includes a RFID, the system searches for records of the associations and presents the data associated with the received RFID.

  • Patent number: 7764686
    Abstract: Flexible migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is facilitated for the Internet and other data networks employing Internet Protocol. In one implementation, certain IPv4 nodes are enhanced by use of a dual address including a globally significant realm address and a locally significant address used only within a particular realm. This dual IPv4 address may be readily mapped to or from an IPv6 address. The enhancement and address mapping scheme may be used to automatically tunnel IPv6 packets through IPv4 infrastructure and to use enhanced IPv4 nodes to contact IPv6 infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 7664136
    Abstract: A power sourcing equipment-powered device (PSE-PD) combination unit requests inline power from a connected PSE or other PSE-PD combination unit by having the PD portion of the PD-PSE combination unit adapt its electrical characteristics, if necessary, to obtain the maximum power available. The PD-PSE combination device keeps track of available power less power consumed locally with a summation unit. A PSE manager unit grants PD power requests from downstream devices based upon the available power left (e.g., original PSE power less losses less local consumption).

  • Patent number: 7356031
    Abstract: Packets may be forwarded between realms employing private unregistered addresses without the use of network address translation and/or application level gateways. Nodes within privately addressed realms are identified by a combination of their locally significant address and a globally significant realm address. The globally significant addresses are reserved in all realms for use as realm identifiers or inter-realm routing. To send a packet to a node within a distinct private realm, the packet is given an inner IP header designating the locally significant destination IP address of the target node within the remote realm and an encapsulation IP header indicating the globally significant address advertised by the gateway of the target node's realm. The globally significant address is used for forwarding outside the realm of the destination node. Once the packet reaches the destination realm, the locally significant address is used for forwarding.

  • Patent number: 6940954
    Abstract: An IP-based subscriber endpoint, for example a VoIP telephony device or an IP telephony user agent, is configured for retrieving recorded audio caller information in response to receiving an incoming call that includes a calling party identifier. The IP-based subscriber endpoint, in response to receiving the calling party identifier, generates an IP-based query via an IP network to an identifiable server for identification of a source of the recorded audio caller information corresponding to the calling party identifier. The IP-based subscriber endpoint outputs a request to the source of the recorded audio caller information, and plays the recorded audio caller information in response to reception via the IP-based network. Hence, the IP-based subscriber endpoint is able to retrieve existing recorded audio caller information from servers configured for storing recorded names, eliminating the necessity for text to speech resources.
