Abstract: Described is a technology by which medical patient facial images are acquired and maintained for associating with a patient's records and/or other items. A video camera may provide video frames, such as captured when a patient is being admitted to a hospital. Face detection may be employed to clip the facial part from the frame. Multiple images of a patient's face may be displayed on a user interface to allow selection of a representative image. Also described is obtaining the patient images by processing electronic documents (e.g., patient records) to look for a face pictured therein.

Abstract: A system facilitates managing one or more devices utilized for communicating data within a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes a first user and one or more second users. In response to determining a temporary absence of the first user from the telepresence session, a recordation of the telepresence session is initialized to enable a playback of a portion or a summary of the telepresence session that the first user has missed.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an abstraction on top of virtual machine allocation APIs to expose scalable services. The services are higher level components that expose a particular set of functionalities. A deployment manager handles matching and managing virtual machine allocations in order to meet the customer demands for the managed services. A deployment service exposes a “service” as a unit of resource allocation in a distributed computing environment or cloud computing service. Client components interact with the deployment service to request new service instances to meet customer demand.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates replicating a telepresence session with a real world physical meeting. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A trigger component can monitor the telepresence session in real time to identify a participant interaction with an object, wherein the object is at least one of a real world physical object or a virtually represented object within the telepresence session. A feedback component can implement a force feedback to at least one participant within the telepresence session based upon the identified participant interaction with the object, wherein the force feedback is employed via a device associated with at least one participant.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates managing one or more devices utilized for communicating data within a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A device can be utilized by at least one virtually represented user that enables communication within the telepresence session, the device includes at least one of an input to transmit a portion of a communication to the telepresence session or an output to receive a portion of a communication from the telepresence session. A detection component can adjust at least one of the input related to the device or the output related to the device based upon the identification of a cue, the cue is at least one of a movement detected, an event detected, or an ambient variation.

Abstract: Described is labeling a video session with metadata representing a recognized person or object, such as to identify a person corresponding to a recognized face when that face is being shown during the video session. The identification may be made by overlaying text on the video session, e.g., the person's name and/or other related information. Facial recognition and/or other (e.g., voice) recognition may be used to identify a person. The facial recognition process may be made more efficient by using known narrowing information, such as calendar information that indicates who the invitees are to a meeting that is being shown in the video session.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with data associated with a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A portion of data can be virtually represented within the telepresence session in which at least one virtually represented user interacts therewith. A detect component can monitor motions related to at least one virtually represented user to identify a gesture, the gesture involves a virtual interaction with the portion of data within the telepresence session. An interaction component can implement a manipulation to the portion of data virtually represented within the telepresence session based upon the identified gesture.
