Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable medium are provided for implementing commands by a collaboration system on behalf of participants of an event utilizing such collaboration system. A method includes identifying participants associated with an event conducted using an online collaboration system; generating a per-participant metric for each one of the participants to generate a plurality of metrics; populating each of the plurality of metrics for a corresponding participant using data received from multiple data sources, each data source providing a particular type of data for the corresponding participant and in association with participation of the corresponding participant in the event; determining a command to be performed on behalf of one or more of the participants; determining, using the plurality of metrics, at least one target associated with the command to yield at least one identified target; and performing the command for the at least one target.

Abstract: In one embodiment, upon detection of a mobile device within a proximity of a video conference endpoint and authentication of the mobile device at a server managing the video conference endpoint, the server may receive information regarding a camera of the mobile device. The server may then receive the output of the camera from the mobile device. Finally, after receiving the output of the camera, the server may send the output of the camera to the video conference endpoint as part of media to be presented by the video conference endpoint. The server may also send the output of the camera to one or more other endpoints participating in a video conference managed by the server.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an IP phone is connected to a network switch that has an established communications channel to a call control server. The network switch acts as a proxy for the phone exchanging registration information that in effect keeps the phone registered while the phone itself can go to sleep as defined by periods of the day, periods where the phone is unused, or presence, which can then wake-up quickly with assistance from the switch. If the switch is not able to act as proxy, the phone can switch from sleep mode to “wake” up mode at predetermined intervals, such as every 30 seconds, in order to respond to keep alive packets from the call control server.
