  • Publication number: 20240414216
    Abstract: A client is configured to control one or more functions of another client remotely via a wireless connection. Enabling control of the one or more functions of another client includes receiving a control command from a first client. The control command indicates a function to be performed by a second client. The control command is transmitted to the second client when a binding status indicates a binding between the first client to the second client.

  • Publication number: 20240121344
    Abstract: A system for one-touch split-mode conference access includes a server that transmits a first message associated with a conference with a client. A VOIP device displays a notification based on the first message. The VOIP device transmits a second message to transfer an audio component of the conference to the VOIP device. The audio component of the conference is continued on the VOIP device and the video component of the conference is retained on the client.

  • Publication number: 20240048440
    Abstract: A telephony device includes a memory that stores firmware to operate the telephony device. The telephony device includes a network interface that transmits a first command to establish a connection with a telephony server. The telephony device includes a receiver that receives a second command from a device manager. The second command includes an instruction to upgrade the firmware of the telephony device. The telephony device includes a processor that upgrades the firmware of the telephony device based on the second command. The processor establishes a connection to a virtual meeting room platform based on the upgraded firmware.

  • Patent number: 11889028
    Abstract: A system for one-touch split-mode conference access includes a client, a server, a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) device and a telephony server. The client obtains information associated with a conference and transmits the information to the server. The server transmits the information to the VOIP device, which is paired to the client based on a user account. The VOIP device displays a notification based on the received information. The VOIP device obtains an input from the user. The input is based on the notification. The VOIP device transmits call information based on the input to the telephony server. The telephony server initiates the audio component of the conference on the VOIP device.

  • Publication number: 20230344893
    Abstract: A third party application is used to control a client over a software platform. The third party application sends a control command to a microservice of the software platform. The microservice generates an event socket command based on the control command. The microservice transmits the event socket command to a private branch exchange (PBX) server of the software platform over a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection. The PBX server transmits the event socket command to the client to perform the function based on a binding status that indicates a binding between the third party application and the client.
