  • Patent number: 9385878
    Abstract: A system for communicating with a network of devices is disclosed. The system can include a control device configured to send a first digital communication using a network protocol. The system can also include a number of network devices communicably coupled to the control device, where each of the plurality of network devices is configured to receive the first digital communication using the network protocol. The system can further include a first communication channel communicably coupled to the control device and the plurality of network devices. The first digital communication sent by the control device can be sent to all of the network devices using the first communication channel. The first digital communication can be addressed to a number of recipient devices of the network devices.

  • Patent number: 9280760
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a workspace are disclosed. In some aspects, a server provides, to a client computing device, access to a workspace, the workspace including one or more members and one or more content items, in response to verifying that the client computing device is associated with one of the one or more members of the workspace. The server provides, to the client computing device, within a display associated with the workspace, a first user interface element to initiate an online meeting with a first portion of the one or more members of the workspace or a second user interface element to join an ongoing online meeting with a second portion of the one or more members.
