A method in which a communication device can be configured with a MAC address so that when the user logs into a network environment using a communication device from among a number of communication devices a MAC address is assigned to the user and is specific to the user. The MAC address assignment can be used for pairing with a communication device assigned to the user (e.g. a near-field communication device). A database containing MAC addresses can be connected to communication devices through a network and can provide user-specific MAC addresses that are readable into or otherwise transmittable to a predetermined communication device when a user logs into the network. The database can be managed by a server or other computer device of the network.

Method for assigning a MAC address, and database with MAC addresses

A communication system can include terminal devices that communicate with a social network or a computer server device for scheduling use of conference resources and/or for using conference appliances that may be located in a conference room being used for a video conference or teleconference. The communication system can be configured to permit a user to use such resources without having to have a user's device be physically and directly connected by wiring to a conference appliance or communication device. The communication system can also be configured to validate participants to help ensure that only authorized personnel are properly attending a scheduled conference based on audio and/or video input received for the different participants and can also be configured to allow screen sharing to be performed during a video conference or teleconference.

The invention relates to a device and a method for controlling a display device such that a section of an information element presented on the display device, where a first edge is not presented, a first edge section is presented that comprises the first edge of the information element as well as the region of the information element that is adjacent to the first edge, having the step of executing a translation of the presented section of the information element in a first direction according a to control motion executed by a user and triggering a first control signal for the translation in a second direction, wherein the first control signal is supplied to a control device, characterized by the steps such that a second control signal is generated and supplied to the control device as soon as the control motion has reached the second edge of the display device having been reached by the motion in the second direction, jumping to present the first edge section of the information element on the display device reached by the motion in the first direction.

A method is disclosed for managing communication processes (N-N) between internal participants (A, B, C) of an internal communication network on the one hand and external participants (E) on the other hand. First a list is set up in an internal communication network that contains incoming and outgoing communication activities between the internal participants and at least one external participant as a virtual mailbox. This virtual mailbox is assigned to the at least one external participant and is set up to be invisible or inaccessible to the at least one external participant. Communications activity between an internal participant and the external participant are recognized as being associated with the external participant based upon identification that has been assigned to the external participant and can be obtained from the communication activity. Each communication activity that has been recognized as being associated with the external participant is deposited in the virtual mailbox.

A computer system and method for authenticating a user device associated with a user during the process of logging into a server. The server can generate input requests each of which is valid only during a defined time period, and displays said input requests in succession in a login screen. The user device reads in the input request displayed at the time of the login and calculates a response by using said input request, the password of the user device, and the current time. The user device transmits the calculated response to the login screen and the response is transmitted by the login screen to the server. The server confirms the authentication when the response calculated by the server matches the response transmitted by the user device.
