Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and system to provide automated audio video conferencing in a conference room. In an exemplary embodiment, the disclosure relates to a mobile device having one or more processors and circuitry. The circuitry may execute a first logic, a second logic and a third logic. The first logic may be configured to receive instructions to connect the mobile device to a wireless equipment in a conference room. The second logic may be configured to obtain conference room information. The third logic may be configured to transmit a request to pair with a wireless equipment in the conference room. The third logic may be further configured to: receive information in a first communication mode that a code challenge will be issued, receive a code challenge in the second communication mode and pair the mobile device with the wireless equipment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium that contains instructions, which when executed by one or more processors results in performing operations comprising:
receiving a request to pair a mobile device to a wireless equipment in a conference room;
obtaining location information for the conference room;
transmitting a request to pair with the wireless equipment;
receiving information in a first communication medium that a code challenge will be transmitted through a second communication medium;
receiving the code challenge in the second communication medium, the code challenge comprising authentication information; and
transmitting authentication information in response to the code challenge to thereby pair the mobile device with the wireless equipment in the conference room;
wherein upon pairing, the mobile device configures a plurality of equipment in the conference room to engage in an audio video presentation.

2. The tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first communication medium is one of Bluetooth (BT), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), cellular or Wi-Fi communication and wherein the second communication medium is one of ultrasound or infrared communication.

3. The tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to connect a mobile device to a wireless equipment further causes the one or more processors to dial a conference telephone number through a single-click execution.

4. The tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to receive a first signal at the mobile device.

5. The tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the request to pair further causes the one or more processors to detect a wireless equipment and transmit the request to pair to the wireless equipment.

6. The tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to avail a projection screen or to dim a conference room light.

7. The tangible machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to update conference room occupancy information.

8. A mobile device comprising one or more processors and circuitry, the circuitry including:
a first logic to receive instructions to connect the mobile device to a wireless equipment in a conference room;
a second logic to obtain conference room information;
a third logic to transmit a request to pair the mobile device with a wireless equipment in the conference room, the third logic further configured to:
receive information in a first communication medium that a code challenge will be transmitted through a second communication medium,
receive a code challenge in the second communication medium, and
pair the mobile device with the wireless equipment after a successful code challenge authentication;
wherein upon pairing, the mobile device configures a plurality of equipment in the conference room to engage in an audio video presentation.

9. The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein each of the first, second and third logic is initiated by a one-click execution command at the mobile device.

10. The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the first communication medium is one of Bluetooth (BT), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), cellular or Wi-Fi communication and wherein the second communication medium is one of ultrasound or infrared communication.

11. The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the first logic is configured to update a communication software to include a conference room telephone number.

12. The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the first logic is further configured to detect a proximal wireless equipment and to communicate with the second logic when the proximal wireless equipment is detected.

13. The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the third logic is further configured to avail a projection screen or to dim a conference room light prior to the video conference.

14. A wireless equipment in a conference room, comprising:
one or more antennas;
one or more radios to communicate with the one or more antennas; and
one or more processors and circuitry to communicate with the one or more radios, the circuitry configured to execute:
a first logic to receive a request for pairing from a mobile device;
a second logic to transmit information in a first communication medium that a code challenge will be transmitted through a second communication medium; and
a third logic to pair the wireless equipment with the mobile device after a successful response to the code challenge issued in the second communication medium is received;
wherein upon pairing, the mobile device configures a plurality of equipment in the conference room to engage in an audio video presentation.

15. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , wherein the first communication medium is one of Bluetooth (BT), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), cellular or Wi-Fi communication and wherein the second communication medium is one of ultrasound or infrared communication.

16. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , wherein the first logic is configured to update a communication software to include a conference room telephone number.

17. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , wherein the first logic is further configured to detect a proximal mobile device and to communicate with the second logic when the proximal mobile device is detected.

18. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , wherein the third logic is further configured to avail a projection screen or to dim a conference room light prior to the video conference.

19. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , wherein the one or more antennas further comprise a first antenna to receive a BT or a BLE signal and a second antenna to receive a cellular or a Wi-Fi signal.

20. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , further comprising an optical receiver configured to receive an optical signal and a microphone to receive an ultrasound signal.

21. The wireless equipment of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the one or more radios is configured to receive and process an ultrasound signal.
