  • Patent number: 10523820
    Abstract: A first request to form a conference call is received from a first of a plurality of electronic devices. In response to the first request, a conference data structure is generated in a memory. Based on determining the conference call has ended, a second request is transmitted to each of the plurality of electronic devices to return a high-resolution video stream generated by each electronic device during the conference call. In response to the second requests, the high-resolution video stream is received from at least some of the plurality of electronic devices. Each of the received high-resolution video streams is stored in the conference data structure in the memory to generate a completed conference data structure. A notice that the completed conference data structure is available is transmitted to each of the plurality of electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20180352156
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein permit a party to identify a first (low-resolution) image as it is displayed on their, for example, smart phone during a video conference call. Identifying information specific to the first image may be collected and a request for a high-resolution copy of the image sent to the party sourcing the transmitted image. The high-resolution image may be sent from the image's sourcing device to the requestor's device during, or after, the video conference call. In some embodiments, the high-resolution image may be sent through an alternate communication channel (e.g., via a chat, social media or email channel). In other embodiments, the high-resolution image may be sent to a network-based service from which the requestor may obtain the image. In one embodiment, the sourcing device may message the requesting device that the image has been sent to the network-based service.
