  • Patent number: 11743305
    Abstract: A method can include a server transmitting first data received from a first client to the at least one second client so as to display a first view on the display device of the at least one second client. The server can also receive sixth data from the first client relating to an actor event including an information indicating content displayed at the display device has changed from the first view to a second view that is intended to be shared with the at least one participant. Upon receipt of the actor event at the web collaboration server, a time window can be opened for a predetermined amount of time. The server can send an alert to provide notification that a data mismatch may occur to trigger a checking procedure in the event a second data is received relating to a pointing event within the still open time window.

  • Patent number: 11295079
    Abstract: A method for providing a review process of a document can include receiving, at a document server, the document to be reviewed from a first client; providing, by the document server, access to the document to be reviewed via a second client to start the review process for a user of the second client. During and/or after the review process, the document server can evaluate the quality of the review process and provide information on the evaluated quality to the first client so that the user of the first client can receive an indication of how the review process has occurred or is occurring and have an indication of the quality of that review that is being performed or was performed. Embodiments of a communication apparatus and system for providing information on a review process of a document can be configured to utilize embodiments of the method.

  • Patent number: 11005999
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for establishing a VOIP communication between a PBX system and a first terminal device is disclosed. The first terminal device has a VOIP application or video call application. The PBX system and the first terminal device are able to communicate via a first communication connection and a second communication connection. When the PBX system receives a call to be forwarded to the first terminal device the PBX system verifies whether the first terminal device is logged in. If the PBX system verifies that the first terminal device is not logged in, the call is rejected. If the PBX system verifies that the first terminal device is logged in, the PBX system determines whether the application on the first terminal device is running in a background mode or in a foreground mode. When the PBX system determines that the application is running in the foreground mode, the PBX system uses the first connection for forwarding the call.
