Abstract: A computing environment includes multiple client devices that may each be configured to serve a particular function within the computing environment. The client devices are each coupled to a client management server that communicates with and manages functions of the client devices. When a client device first boots, the client management server communicates with the client device over a network in order to provision the client device with an enrollment image. Using the enrollment image, a client device can become enrolled with the client management server. Once enrolled, the client management server can provision the client device with a functional operating system image. The functional operating system image can support device applications that require a restricted number of runtime states within the client device. A new functional operating system image is downloaded from the client management server and installed on the client device each time the device is rebooted.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to determine that a first peer involved in a video communication is a primary peer based on satisfaction of a threshold. It is determined that a second peer involved in the video communication is a secondary peer based on non-satisfaction of the threshold. It is determined that a modified video stream of the second peer is to be superimposed onto a video stream of the first peer to create a composite video.

Abstract: A networked computational architecture for provisioning of virtualized computational resources. The architecture is accessible by a client application run on a client device. The architecture includes a hardware layer having a plurality of server devices, each server device having at least one physical processor having a local memory. A resource controller is provided and operable to allocate a plurality of server devices to a client application for data processing and to assign control information to the client application. The control information specifies the required allocation of a data processing workload to each server device allocated to the client application. The architecture is configured such that client applications send the data processing workload directly to each server in accordance with the control information. Thus, a networked architecture is load balanced indirectly without requiring a load balancer to be located in the data path between the client and the server.

A video stream of a second peer involved in the video communication is received. Image content of the video stream of the second peer is modified to create a modified video stream of the second peer. The video stream of the first peer and the modified video stream of the second peer are combined to create a composite video.

The hardware module and the computing device each may be configured to exchange a signal that includes media data and emulated input/output (“I/O”) data, audio/visual data (“A/V”); the hardware module may also be configured to supply power to the computing device. The signal and the supplied power may be communicated between the hardware module and the computing device over a single cable.

Abstract: A display system includes a display device having a wedge base to enable the display device to rest on a horizontal surface or to be mounted to a vertical surface in a number of different mounting configurations. A mounting kit provides parts usable to mount the display device to a wall or door jam in alternative ways. The mounting kit includes several modular parts, where many of the parts are usable in multiple mounting configurations, thereby reducing the number of parts needed for the kit. The mounting configurations include paths for cables to hide them when the display is installed.

Abstract: A client management server manages client devices deployed throughout an enterprise facility that may be used for various applications such as wayfinders and internal and external meeting room computers. The client management receives screenshots from the client devices and applies a classifier to classify an operating state of each device as corresponding to a normal operating state or an error state. If the operating state is classified as corresponding to the error state, a remedial action is triggered. The classifier may be a machine trained model that is trained using supervised or unsupervised learning, including by simulating errors on the clients.

Abstract: A client management server predicts a desired configuration of clients deployed in an enterprise based on various signals. This prediction is a best guess for a desired functionality of the client from a predefined set of possible functionalities (e.g., wayfinding, room management, dashboard, sign-in kiosk, digital sign, and point of sale terminal). Based on this prediction, the client management server facilitates provisioning of the clients with a configuration that supports the predicted functionality. The client management server may populate configuration fields located on an administrator client. An administrator can review the populated configuration fields and confirm that the predicted configuration is correct by sending a confirmation signal back to the central server. Upon receiving confirmation from the administrator client, the central server can provision the client with the predicted configuration.
