According to one embodiment, a technique is presented to dynamically adjust a sample period used at a presenter device for a screen content capture sharing function during a communication session. In another embodiment, a technique is provided to control how frames of screen capture content, e.g., in a desktop sharing function, are sent to attendee devices during an online conference session. According to a still another embodiment, a technique is provided to enable on-demand designation of frames as key-frames during a desktop sharing function of an online conference session.

Self-adaptive sample period for content sharing in communication sessions

In an example embodiment, a virtual conference is established with a server and a plurality of endpoint devices. One endpoint device, acting as a sender, may transfer a file to N other endpoint devices, acting as receivers. The sender divides the file in at least N segments and delivers one segment to each receiver. Receivers then request the next desired segment from one or more devices containing that segment. Ifdevices hold the segment, the segment may be divided intoparts, and one part may be requested from each device.

File transfers for virtual conferences

Techniques are provided for delivering messages to users of client devices in a network. At a server device in a network, location information of each of a plurality of client devices is obtained. Each of the client devices runs a presence application for a user in the network and is configured to log-in with one or more resources. A message is received from a sender device in the network. The message is intended to be presented to the user via the presence application and one or more of the resources. Based on the location information of the client devices, one or more designated client devices are selected to which the message is to be sent such that the message is presented to the user via the presence application running on the one or more designated client devices and via one or more of the resources.

Techniques for auto-detecting positions in a multi-resource login control of instant messaging

In an example embodiment disclosed herein, there is described methods and a system for sharing of content in collaborative computing sessions. The methods and the system are operable to maintain a collaborative computing session between a plurality of participant devices, wherein at least one participant device operates as a presenter device to share data with at least one other participant viewer device. The methods and system are further operable to designate data to be shared with at least one viewer device and to identify at least one active region contained within the shared data. The methods and system are also operable to transmit the designated shared data to the at least one viewer device, render the shared data for display on at least one viewer device to maximize the display of the at least one active region, and display the rendered shared data on the at least one viewer device.

Detecting active region in collaborative computing sessions using voice information

In an example embodiment disclosed herein, there is described methods and a system for sharing of content in collaborative computing sessions. The methods and the system are operable to initiate a collaborative computing session between a plurality of participant devices, wherein at least one participant device operates as a presenter device to share data with at least one other participant viewer device. The methods and system are further operable to designate data to be shared with at least one viewer device. The methods and system are also operable to transmit the designated shared data to the at least one viewer device, render the shared data for display on at least one viewer device, wherein the shared data is rendered in accordance with display capabilities of the at least one viewer device, and display the rendered shared data on the at least one viewer device.

Mechanism for compacting shared content in collaborative computing sessions

In one example embodiment, a method is provided and includes monitoring a display status associated with a client device that is participating in a meeting being conducted over a network (wired, wireless, etc.). The method also includes reporting the display status to a server associated with the meeting. For example, the server could be responsible for controlling at least a portion of meeting resources for the client device (or the client device itself could include software to perform these management functions). The method also includes receiving reduced meeting resources based, at least in part, on the display status.
