Automatic resource provisioning for meeting collaboration

摘要

A system for provisioning an output device, may include a processor; a memory; and a records display program. The records display program may be executed by the processor to maintain an indication of availability dates and times of one or more output devices connected to the network; to receive an output device invitation indicating a first output device to reserve at a meeting conducted over a conferencing system; to determine whether the first output device is available for reservation during a date and time period of the meeting; and to communicate to the first output device activation information indicating that the first output device is to become active at a first predetermined date and time related to the date and time period of the meeting and login information including a first credential for the first output device to use for logging into the conferencing system for the meeting.

主权项

1. A system for provisioning an output device, comprising:
a processor; a memory; and a records display program including a plurality of instructions stored in the memory that, in response to selection of an attribute, are executed by the processor to:
maintain by a computer system connected to a network an indication of availability dates and times of one or more output devices connected to the network,receive by the computer system an output device invitation indicating at least one output device to reserve at a meeting conducted over a conferencing system,determine by the computer system whether the at least one output device is available for reservation during a meeting time period,communicate from the computer system over the network to the at least one output device activation information, the activation information indicating a predetermined period of time that the at least one output device is to power up before the meeting time period, the predetermined period of time being adjusted according to a timing delay selected from the group consisting of a boot-up delay, a login delay, a connection delay, and a signal-acquisition delay, and login information including a credential for the at least one output device to use for logging into the conferencing system for the meeting,enable and authorize by the conferencing system a first signal from a first computing device for signal output by the at least one output device at a start of a first portion of the meeting time period such that a first meeting attendee associated with the first computing device controls transmission of the first signal in real-time, wherein the first computing device was previously disabled and unauthorized by the conferencing system, andenable and authorize by the conferencing system a second signal from a second computing device for signal output by the at least one output device at a start of a second portion of the meeting time period such that a second meeting attendee associated with the second computing device controls transmission of the second signal in real-time, wherein the first computing device is disabled and unauthorized by the conferencing system, and wherein the second computing device was previously disabled and unauthorized by the conferencing system.
