Abstract: A computer implemented method includes gathering metrics from components of a conferencing endpoint in a conference call, and determining status indicator values according to the metrics. The status indicator values each identify a component status of a component. The status indicator values are combined to estimate a user status. The computer implemented method further includes generating a description of a user status of a target user with respect to the conference call, and presenting the description of the user status.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting information displayed by a display device and reflected into a camera feed are disclosed. Described systems and methods remove the reflected information from the camera feed so that unintended disclosure of private information when the camera feed is shared can be prevented.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a network circuit to communicate with a network and a server on the network. The apparatus includes a wireless circuit to communicate with another wireless device. The apparatus includes control logic to determine that the other wireless device is within a given proximity of the apparatus, and to determine that the other wireless device is configured to perform automatic pairing. The control logic is further to, based on a determination that the other wireless device is within the given proximity of the apparatus and is configured to perform automatic pairing, access the server to determine whether to perform automatic pairing with the other wireless device. The control logic is to pair with the other wireless device without further input from a user of the apparatus.

Abstract: One or more embodiments relate to a computer implemented method that includes extracting file attribute values for multiple files on a conferencing endpoint, and extracting, from a conferencing application, conference attribute values. Responsive to a trigger of a file share via the conferencing application and during a conference call, the computer implemented method further includes selecting a matching file from the multiple files by applying a matching algorithm to the conference attribute values and the file attribute values, and presenting, during the conference call, recommended content including the matching file.

Abstract: A smart muting method for a teleconference or videoconference participant includes detecting audio of an audio-video stream; analyzing video data of the audio-video stream with respect to the detected audio; determining that the audio corresponds to an intended communication, based on the analyzing video data of the audio-video stream with respect to the detected audio; and rendering the audio, responsive to determining that the audio corresponds to an intended communication.

Abstract: A connection base includes a first connection interface for connecting to and receiving an audio stream from a first endpoint, and a second connection interface for connecting to and transmitting the audio stream to a second endpoint. The connection base further includes an inference processing unit (IPU), connected to the first connection interface and the second connection interface, the IPU configured to execute an inference algorithm on an audio stream to obtain an inference result. The connection base is configured to output the inference result.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recovering accidentally or unintentionally switched data paths between electronic communications devices. In some examples a data path is recovered automatically. In other examples, a user of an electronic communications device is prompted to confirm or prevent data path recovery.

Abstract: A computer implemented method may include determining a content rating level to apply to streaming content; separating at least one stream out from the streaming content; detecting that the at least one stream fails to satisfy the content rating level; and blocking at least a portion of the at least one stream in response to the at least the portion of the at least one stream failing to satisfy the content rating level.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing connections between a wireless headset and various user devices, e.g., to answer or place a call at a particular user device (e.g., a device that is not currently connected to the headset) as a headset-supported call in which the call audio is routed from the particular user device to the headset and/or vice versa. Connections between the headset and relevant user devices may be controlled or facilitated by suitable software and hardware components to establish the headset-supported call. For example, such device connections may be controlled or facilitated by a cloud-based network including remote server(s). As another example, the device connections may be controlled or facilitated by a local mesh network, e.g., including user device(s) connected to the headset and the particular user device. As another example, the device connections may be cooperatively managed by a cloud-based network and a local mesh network.

Abstract: A peripheral electronic device and a corresponding system configured to determine a health safety status is disclosed. The peripheral electronic device comprises at least: a usage detector, configured to recurrently detect usage status information of the peripheral electronic device; a change status determination circuit, connected with the usage detector and configured to determine, using the usage status information, a first status change from an unused device status of the peripheral electronic device to a used device status of the peripheral electronic device; a device memory; and a health safety status processing circuit, wherein the health safety status processing circuit is configured to enable a dirty bit in the device memory in case the first status change is determined.
