Abstract: The present technology can receive audio segments from sources within one or more conference room, and can create audio fingerprints from the sources. The audio fingerprints are optimized for audio in conference room environments, which include distortions from room impulse responses, and various encoding used by telecommunication networks. In some embodiments, when two audio segments are matched, a user equipment can be instructed to mute its speakers to avoid feedback. In some embodiments, when two audio segments are matched, a user equipment can be given instructions to join a conference taking place in the room in when the audio segment originated.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network interface broadcasts an audible message from a first computing device to a plurality of second computing devices over a first channel. The audible message comprises an audible noise broadcasted using a plurality of frequencies and a first unique identifier indicative of the first computing device. The network interface receives an acknowledgment message from each of the plurality of second computing devices over a second channel. A processor identifies each of the plurality of second computing devices based on the second unique identifier in the acknowledgment message and initiates a collaboration session between the first computing device and the plurality of second computing devices by sending a collaboration message from the first computing device to the plurality of second computing devices. The collaboration message automatically causes the plurality of second computing devices to enter the collaboration session.

Abstract: The performing of actions on an object graph that contains multiple objects. The objects are categorized into partitions. Taking into account the partitions, a particular non-final action performed on the object graph may be undone without necessarily first undoing all of the one or more subsequent actions. Instead, if the subsequent actions involved objects of different partitions than the objects that were affected by the particular action desired to be undone, the particular action may be undone without undoing the subsequent actions.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for modifying a user-interface by applying a policy that is defined by an external party. The policy modifies the user-interface based on a user's context within the user-interface and prevents the user from performing certain actions. For example, in a software development environment, the user-interface is a user-interface provided by the software development environment and the certain actions that are prevented include adding inappropriate code to an application being developed in the software development environment. The policy may cause the software development environment to disable a menu that is associated with the inappropriate code. The policy may also modify the software development environment in a manner such that the developer is provided with active guidance if undesirable code is added to the application. The active guidance includes text being displayed that explains a reason for preventing the undesirable code within the application.
