Abstract: Quick Response barcodes (“QR Codes”) are used for videoconferencing between a peripheral device and a videoconferencing system, which can include a conferencing server and/or a videoconferencing unit. Conferencing related QR codes are embedded within video frames and are identified by either a peripheral device or a videoconferencing unit. Once identified, the device or unit acts according to the information provided by the QR code. The QR codes enables the peripheral device, videoconferencing unit, and conferencing server to operation in conjunction with one another even though one or more of the device may not share a compatible operation platform that would allow for direct communication of requests and responses.

Abstract: A videoconference device provides an interface for initiating and controlling a videoconference and incorporating and annotating content in the videoconference without a personal computer. The content may reside on a portable storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or other flash memory device inserted in the interface device or on the device itself. The interface device may be a dedicated device for controlling the videoconferencing system, navigating to desired content, and interacting with the shared content. The device may also be a portable device such as a tablet device or mobile phone that interfaces with a videoconference system via an installed application.
