Method for pairing a computer with a video conference device

摘要

A method includes generating a random identification token on a computer that identifies the computer; modulating the identification token to an audio signal on the computer; causing, with the computer, a speaker to emit the audio signal receiving, at video conference device, the audio signal with a microphone associated with the video conference device; demodulating the audio signal to the identification token in the video conference device; sending at least the identification token and a unique identifier of the video conference device to the computer; and establishing a communication session through a communication network, that both the computer and video conference device are communicatively connected to, from the computer to the video conference device enabling control of, and data transfer to, the video conference device from the computer.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
generating an identification token at a first device; emitting a signal based on the identification token, wherein the signal is received at a second device with a sensor and analyzed at the second device, wherein the signal initiates a video conference associated with the first device and the second device; receiving, at the first device, at least the identification token and a unique identifier of the second device via a communication network to which both the first device and the second device are connected, communication via the communication network being separate from communication via the signal; adding a predefined signature as a heading of the signal in advance of the identification token, wherein the predefined signature identifies compatible video conference devices; generating a list of video conference devices having received the signal arranged based on signal level; and establishing the video conference through the communication network from the first device to the second device enabling control of the video conference, and data transfer to the second device from the first device.
