A method for creating situation awareness when scheduling video conferences includes providing a user with access to a set of names stored in a directory service database, and allowing the user to select one or more of the names. In response to selection of one or more names, geographical location values associated with the names in the directory service database are retrieved, and a map is provided. The map and one or more geographical objects showing the geographical location of the users associated with the selected names is then displayed on a display.

Apparatus and method for creating situation awareness when scheduling conference calls

An image capturing device includes a main body which has a tab that extends therefrom. The main body houses a video capturing unit, and a communication unit which transfers video images to an electronic apparatus. A hinge friction joint is connected to the main body, and a leg member is connected to the main body by the hinge friction joint. The hinge friction joint is configured to maintain a predetermined angle between the main body and the leg member that is greater than zero.

Portable video conference camera

The present invention provides a system and a method making an archived conference or presentation searchable after being stored in the archive server. According to the invention, one or more media streams coded according to H.323 or SIP are transmitted to a conversion engine for converting multimedia content into a standard streaming format, which may be a cluster of files, each representing a certain medium (audio, video, data) and/or a structure file that synchronizes and associates the different media together. When the conversion is carried out, the structure file is copied and forwarded to a post-processing server. The post-processing server includes i.a. a speech recognition engine generating a text file of alphanumeric characters representing all recognized words in the audio file. The text file is then entered into the cluster of files associating each identified word to a timing tag in the structure file. After this post-processing, finding key words and associated points of time in the media stream could easily be executed by a conventional search engine.
