  • Publication number: 20260086763
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to output audio data based on metadata associated with the audio data. A system can provide a buffer command to a plurality of computing devices. Based on providing the buffer command, the system can obtain, from the plurality of computing devices, a plurality of sets of audio data and a plurality of sets of metadata. The system can identify, for each time period of a plurality of time periods, a respective audio frame from the plurality of sets of audio data based on the plurality of sets of metadata. The system can generate a continuous audio stream based on identifying the respective audio frames and can route an output based on the continuous audio stream to a computing system.

  • Patent number: 12464087
    Abstract: Techniques for a service provider network to manage a meeting between individuals located in a conference room with one or more other individuals remote from the conference room are discussed herein. An Enterprise system can implement one or more machine learned models to generate tiles that represent different individuals associated with a meeting. A same or different machine learned model can automatically arrange a series of tiles for display that, when presented collectively, promotes inclusiveness and attention for both in-room and remote participants of the meeting. The meeting management techniques can include determining which content to include on a display device based on evaluating changes in behavior of the meeting participants over time.

  • Patent number: 9716689
    Abstract: The connectivity and security of wireless handheld devices (HDs) can be leveraged to provide a presentation appliance (PA) such as a laptop with an ability to securely communicate with an enterprise's private network. A split-proxy server, with part of it executing on the HD and a part executing on the PA, implements a full HTTP 1.1 compliant Internet/Web Proxy to couple the PA for communication through the HD. Specifically, the split proxy provides support for the pragmatic keep-alive header, the CONNECT method, socket connection sharing, and thread pooling, to enable a fully functional browsing environment. Such an environment enables access to commercial web-based applications that are built on standard Internet technologies without the need for re-rendering or re-writing the user interfaces to suit the HD. In addition, Intranet web-based applications are made securely accessible without the need for additional VPN and remote access technologies.
