Filed:

Feb 17, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/029326

Inventors:

Hock M. Ng - Westfield NJ, US
Edward L. Sutter - Fanwood NJ, US

International Classification:

H04W 88/02

US Classification:

455557

Abstract:

A docking system for a personal communication terminal includes a base and a motorized mount joining the dock to the base and configured to rotate the dock about a vertical axis in response to a pan signal and about a horizontal axis in response to a tilt signal. The docking system further comprises a sensor array to produce signals indicative of the location of a user, a processor to convert the sensor output signals to tracking signals, and a controller to convert the tracking signals to pan and tilt signals, thereby to aim a camera.

Abstract:

An immersive meeting capability is depicted and described herein. The immersive meeting capability is configured for improving various aspects of a meeting held between one or more local participants located at a physical location at which the meeting is being held and one or more remote participants remote from the physical location at which the meeting is being held. The immersive meeting capability enables the remote participants to access and/or control one or more devices located at the physical location at which the meeting is being held and/or one or more views associated with the physical location at which the meeting is being held, thereby enabling remote participants to become immersed into the meeting.

Appl. No.:

13/312218

Inventors:

Edward Sutter - Fanwood NJ, US
Hock Ng - Westfield NJ, US

Assignee:

ALCATEL-LUCENT USA INC - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348143, 348E07085

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for creating a spatial bookmark are provided. A method includes performing an action at a near location which causes a spatial bearing parameter corresponding to a real-time video image captured by a video-camera platform at a remote location to be stored in a computer-readable memory, wherein the video-camera platform has a controllable LOS. Performing an action at the near location that designates to a computer an image displayed on a screen, wherein the image is representative of the real-time video image, thereby causing the computer to retrieve the spatial bearing parameter from the computer-readable memory, and performing an action causing the computer to aim the video-camera platform along a LOS, wherein the video-camera platform captures a real-time video image that is received at a screen for display at the near location.

Inventors:

Edward L. Sutter - Fanwood NJ, US
Hock M. Ng - Westfield NJ, US

Assignee:

ALCATEL-LUCENT USA INC. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348159, 348E07085

Abstract:

First image data representing a first view, captured by a camera system, of a second location, is displayed at the first location. The first view is associated with a first orientation relative to the second location. A first angular displacement associated with a motion of a chair disposed at the first location is determined. Information representing the first angular displacement is transmitted to the camera system. Second image data representing a second view of the second location associated with a second orientation is displayed at the first location, the second orientation having a relationship to the first orientation based on the first angular displacement.
