Automatically Moving a Conferencing Based on Proximity of a Participant
First Claim
1. A non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for automatically using a first conferencing system instead of a second conferencing system, wherein the program instructions are executable to:
- detect a first participant is in proximity to the first conferencing system;
determine that a conference is scheduled for the first participant using the second conferencing system; and
automatically use the first conferencing system instead of the second conferencing system for the conference based on detecting the first participant is in proximity to the first conferencing system and based on determining that the conference is scheduled for the first participant.

Abstract
Customizing a conferencing system based on proximity of a participant. A first participant may be detected as being proximate to a first conferencing system. For example, the first participant may provide user input to check in to the first conferencing system. Alternatively, the conferencing system may automatically detect the first participant (e.g., by automatically detecting a personal device of the first participant). In response to detecting the proximate participant, the first conferencing system may be automatically customized for the participant.

15. A videoconferencing system, comprising:
-
a videoconferencing unit at a participant location; at least one display coupled to the videoconferencing unit, wherein the at least one display is configured to provide video corresponding to other participant locations during a videoconference; at least one audio output coupled to the videoconferencing unit, wherein the at least one audio output is configured to provide audio corresponding to the other participant locations during the videoconference; at least one video input coupled to the videoconferencing unit, wherein the at least one video input is configured to capture video of the participant location for provision to the other participant locations; at least one audio input coupled to the videoconferencing unit, wherein the at least one audio input is configured to capture audio of the participant location for provision to the other participant locations; at least one touch interface coupled to the videoconferencing unit, wherein the at least one touch interface is configured to receive a plurality of touch gestures to control the videoconference; wherein the videoconference unit is configured to; detect a first participant is in proximity to the conferencing system; determine that a videoconference is scheduled for the first participant using a second video conferencing system; and automatically use the videoconferencing system instead of the second videoconferencing system for the videoconference based on detecting the first participant is in proximity to the videoconferencing system and based on determining that the videoconference is scheduled for the first participant. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
