Publication number: 20160269451Abstract: Meeting software on a meeting room device enables meeting room resources to be automatically shared. A meeting is initiated and, during the meeting, and associated meeting room device monitors for events pertaining to an interaction with one or more meeting resources. Responsive to detecting an event, the meeting room device automatically enables associated meeting room resources to be automatically shared among meeting participants.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2015Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Stephen Hoyt Houchen, Melinda Katrina Lim, Yu An, Prarthana Panchal Johnson, Mark Robert Swift, John Cole Bradley, Thaddeus Adam Scott, Phillip Dean Garding

Patent number: 8890926Abstract: The “relevant” participants for each person in an online meeting may be automatically identified and a personalized view created to dynamically represent these relevant people as the meeting progresses. Relevancy of participants may be determined based on a number of factors and data from a variety of sources at the initialization of the meeting or when the participant for whom the personalized view is created joins the meeting. The relevancy computation may be updated and the personalized view dynamically changed during the meeting based on changes in participants, their participation modality, and comparable factors.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ankit Tandon, Prarthana Panchal, Sarah Zuberec, Jason Tuck, Michael Hill, Andrew Davis, Santhosh Raman, Marcelo Ivan Garcia, Nicolae Velea

Publication number: 20140026070Abstract: A conversation visualization environment may be rendered that includes conversation communications and conversation modalities. The relevance of each of the conversation modalities may be identified and a focus of the conversation visualization environment modified based on their relevance. In another implementation, conversation communications are received for presentation by conversation modalities. An in-focus modality may be selected from the conversation modalities based at least on a relevance of each of the conversation modalities.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ankit Tandon, Annika Elias, Blaine Carpenter, Prarthana Panchal, Michael Hill

Publication number: 20130198629Abstract: Techniques for managing video streams in an online conference event are described. An apparatus may comprise a media content manager component and a media selection component. The media content manager component is operative on a logic device to generate a composite media stream from a plurality of media streams received from a multimedia conference server for a multimedia conference event. The media selection component is operative on the logic device to select a primary media stream from the plurality of media streams based on selection by the participant. The apparatus may also comprise a visual media generator component which is operative to receive the selected primary media stream and map the selected primary media stream to a primary display frame on the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2012Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ankit Tandon, Prarthana Panchal

Publication number: 20120069014Abstract: Indicators operable to preview or show the position and relative zoom level of a field of view within a virtual space. Virtual space exploration took typically make use of a field of view for limiting a user's view of the virtual space and zooming in on a portion of the virtual space. A spherical indicator is provided to show the current position of the field of view within the virtual space, as well as provide an indication of level of zoom. A local field of view indication is also provided to show the current position of the field of view, as well as provide an indication of level of zoom, with respect to a nearby object within the virtual space. Such indicators may be useful in exploring outer space as well as landscapes and any other spaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2011Publication date: March 22, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Curtis Glenn Wong, Jonathan Edgar Fay, David M. Folchi, Robert M. Girling, Prarthana Panchal, Martijn E. Van Tilburg
