Abstract

A videoconferencing system includes a touch screen display device and a videoconferencing unit. The display device displays video data for the videoconference and generates touch data based on user selections relative to the touch screen. The videoconferencing unit is operatively coupled to the touch screen device by a video connection and a data interface connection, for example. The unit establishes and conducts a videoconference with one or more endpoints via a network. The unit sends video data to the display device and receives touch data from the device. The received touch data is used to control operation of the videoconferencing system. The received touch data can be used to initiate a videoconference call, change an operating parameter, change orientation of a camera, initiate a picture-in-picture display, access a menu, access memory, change a source of video data, initiate a whiteboard display, and access a screen of a connected device.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed subject matter relates to a system and method for controlling a video conference using a touch screen interface. Background technique [0002] Typically, users of video conferencing systems use remote controls to operate and control the system. Additionally, a control panel, tablet input device, keypad, or network interface may be used to operate and control the system. When using a handheld remote control, the user points the remote control at the video conferencing system and navigates through the many selections and menus of the user interface to operate and control the system. Typically, tablet input devices and keyboards must be properly connected to the video conferencing system, and proper connection may be difficult for the user. For video conferencing, users also wish to have a document camera or computer with annotation tools to enable the user to add notes and annotations to the video conference. Unfortunately, document came...
