Abstract: Apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that uses a wireless display docking over an infrastructure network by receiving, via a WiFi link, information associate with an infrastructure discovery of a receiver, using the information to discover the receiver via an infrastructure network i link, forming a connection with the receiver via the infrastructure network link, and streaming content to the receiver via the connection. In addition, receiver technology may emit a beacon signal via a WiFi link, form a connection with a client device via an infrastructure network link, and receive streamed content from the client device via the infrastructure network link.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is presented for controlling a video image compression system. In this method a video frame of raw video image data is compressed using a processor. Then it is determined whether the processor is limited in its ability to compress video image data. Then, a target frame rate is adjusted based on a current amount of time taken to compress said video frame of raw video image data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus select the wire video size and capture video size of a video telephony product depending upon the desired remote video size. A target frame rate is taken into account when choosing the wire video size and capture video size. Wire video size is chosen as close to the desired remote video size as possible. To provide high quality, the video capture frame rate and capture video sizes are maintained above a predetermined level.

Abstract: A plugable call control application program interface includes a base plugable call control application program interface to expose a common set of function calls, properties, and callbacks to be utilized by a plurality of call control protocols. An extended application program interface is adapted to provide advanced function calls, properties, and callbacks beyond the common set.

Abstract: An apparatus is programmed with a video service for facilitating video communication with another remote apparatus, in accordance with a video communication protocol. The video service includes a still image function with logic for providing a plurality of progressive scans of one or more still images to the remote apparatus, in accordance with a still image communication protocol defined within the video communication protocol. In one embodiment, the still image function includes logic for instructing a local video capture driver to switch to a format of the still image function's choice for capturing video image frames, holding constant video image input to a video codec to generate the plurality of progressive scans of the still images, and implementing the still image communication protocol.

Abstract: A method for creating a video connection between a video source for transmitting frames of video data and a video sink for receiving the frames. The video source may be a file, a camera, a computer network, and a telephony interface. The video sink may be a file, a visual display device, a computer network, and a telephony interface. The video source has a recycle framehandler function for recycling used buffers and the video sink has a process framehandler function for processing received frames. A video stream object is created having data members that include a reference to the video sink and a reference to the video source, as well as several member functions. The member functions are used to query the video sink to obtain a reference to the process framehandler function and to then provide the reference to the video source. The member functions are also used to query the video source to obtain a reference to the recycle framehandler function, which is then provided to the video sink.
