  • Patent number: 9762519
    Abstract: Integrating digital telephony information with a social platform includes receiving, by a processor, information for multiple parties connected to a conference telephone call. Virtual groups for the multiple parties are created. Permissions are assigned to each of the virtual groups. Muting of portions of the conference telephone call related to a discussion of a particular topic is controlled based on permissions. Clips from the conference telephone call and actions are captured. A social enterprise platform is connected to and a recording is automatically uploaded after the conference telephone call has ended. Permissions are synchronized across the social enterprise platform. Media sources are linked together. Context across the linked media sources is provided. The captured clips and the actions are integrated.

  • Publication number: 20170099159
    Abstract: A respective VPN routing table for each of a plurality of VPNs can be stored on a client device. The client device can access a first VPN routing table and, using the first VPN routing table, establish a first VPN tunnel to a first VPN. The first VPN can be a first subnetwork assigned a particular network prefix. While the first VPN tunnel is currently active, the client device can access a second VPN routing table and, using the second VPN routing table, establish a second VPN tunnel to the second VPN. The second VPN can be a second subnetwork assigned the same particular network prefix as the first subnetwork. While the first VPN tunnel and the second VPN tunnel are simultaneously active, the client device can communicate data to remote devices in the first VPN and the second VPN using the particular network prefix for both.

  • Publication number: 20160357253
    Abstract: First media content including text is presented on a display. User expressions of a user, including eye movement, are tracked by an image detector while the user is reading the text of the first media content. User expression data is generated based on the user expressions of the user. A determination can be made as to whether the user expression data indicates that the user gazes at a portion of the text presented on the display for a period exceeding a threshold value. Responsive to determining that the user expression data indicates that the user gazes at a portion of the text presented on the display for a period exceeding a threshold value, one or more actions can be automatically initiated. For example, additional media content that provides further explanation of the media content can be presented.

  • Patent number: 9456010
    Abstract: Integrating digital telephony information with a social platform may include using a processor to create multiple virtual groups for multiple parties connected to a conference telephone call. Clips from the conference telephone call and actions related to the conference telephone call along with bookmarks and timestamps are captured. A social enterprise platform is connected to, and the clips, the actions, the bookmarks and the timestamps are stored within the social enterprise platform. Assigned permissions are synchronized across the social enterprise platform and the telephone conference call for controlling access to the clips and the actions. Multiple media sources are linked together. Context is provided across the linked media sources based on comments, the clips and the actions. The captured clips and the actions obtained from the telephone conference call are integrated with chat history and the linked media sources in the social enterprise platform to accelerate dissemination of information.
