Abstract: A terminal for audio-video communications comprising an IP enabled video phone and a video processor component coupled to the IP enabled video phone and including a module for correcting images from the video camera to render a camera-facing image for transmission to remote viewer. The correcting images may include use of calibrated images for a particular user and may replace background images with neutral images.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a visual appearance of at least one window displayed on a screen after a change in a resolution of the screen includes a first step of receiving a display change notice indicative that the resolution of the screen is to be changed from a current screen resolution to a new screen resolution. A second step of determining the current screen resolution. A third step of determining the new screen resolution. A fourth step of generating at least one scaling factor based on the current screen resolution and the new screen resolution. A fifth step of transmitting a windows resize to a window drawing module for triggering drawing the window on the screen using the new visual parameters when the resolution changes from the current screen resolution to the new screen resolution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a memory for storing potentially configurable entries in a list, associated with a resource coupled to a central resource manager, is provided. A number of potentially configurable entries in the list are determined. A block of memory for storing data associated with each potentially configurable entry is allocated from the memory. If the block of memory is insufficient for storing the data, at least one extended block of memory is allocated from the memory, for storing the data.
