Embodiments provide techniques for facilitating transmission of a video stream from a first video conferencing device to a remote video conferencing device. Embodiments receive, by the first video conferencing endpoint device, first video data captured from a first field of view of a physical environment. The video data includes a plurality of frames. Activity data is determined for portions of the first video data across the plurality of frames. Embodiments generate, by a first video conferencing endpoint device, second video data from a second field of view of the physical environment, based on the determined activity data. Additionally, embodiments facilitate the transmission of the video stream to the remote video conferencing device for display, the video stream comprising the generated second video data and audio data captured within the physical environment.

Smart video conferencing system

Automatic establishment of a connection between a human interface device and a host transceiver unit. A marriage ID is exchanged in a synchronization step. The marriage ID being used by both the host transceiver and the human interface device to calculate a spread spectrum modulation pattern. In one embodiment the spread spectrum modulation is a frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation.

High-frequency wireless peripheral device with auto-connection and auto-synchronization

Embodiments of the present invention provide programmable keys in a keyboard that provide the user with added functionalities and versatility to enhance the usage of the computer for game play or the like. In one embodiment, an input device for use with a computer comprises an input device housing; at least one input member disposed on the input device housing; and an auxiliary display connected to the input device housing, the auxiliary display being configured to display information received from the computer including images provided by the computer.

Keyboard with integrated auxiliary display

A wireless human interface device configured to establish a link with a host, wherein the device includes a transceiver for transmitting data to and receiving data from a host transceiver unit, wherein the host transceiver unit is connected with the host; a processor connected with the transceiver and configured to process data from the host and the human interface device, and a power circuit connected with the processor and configured to regulate the power usage of the human interface device, wherein the power circuit includes a battery, a computer readable media having instructions thereon, wherein the instructions include routines for monitoring the operational state of the human interface device, and routines for controlling the operation of the human interface device using the operational state of the human interface device to maximize the useful life of the batteries.

Power management for wireless peripheral device with force feedback

A system and method for the automatic establishment of a connection between a human interface device and a host transceiver unit, wherein the system includes a host transceiver unit configured to be connected with a host via a bus, and configured to wirelessly exchange data with a human interface device; a human interface device configured to wirelessly exchange data with a host transceiver; and a computer readable media having instructions thereon, wherein said instruction include routines for synchronizing the host transceiver unit and the human interface device for wirelessly exchanging data between the host transceiver unit and the human interface device at a spread spectrum modulation pattern which is determined by the host transceiver after the host transceiver unit and the human interface device have acknowledged each other's presence.

A hand-held digital camera including a CCD for receiving an image and converting the image to a digital file of image data, a memory for storing the image data, a communication port for communicating between the hand-held digital camera and a digital computer, and a user interface for receiving input commands from the user. The user interface includes a LCD and a plurality of switches for permitting the user to communicate with the camera intuitively. A host interface facilitates the transfer of commands and data between the digital camera and the host computer via a communication link and permits a user to operate the digital camera remotely from the host computer. The display includes function icons which the user can cycle among using one of the switches. The display also includes option icons for certain of the function icons, which the user can cycle among using a second switch.
