Abstract
The invention relates to a method for connecting at least one man-machine interface for manipulating, particularly remotely manipulating, at least one data source connected to a video conferencing system within the scope of video conferences, wherein signals generated by the man-machine interface are transmitted to the video conferencing system via a transmission channel provided for controlling a video camera. The invention further relates to an arrangement comprising means for carrying out the method.

11. A method of connecting at least one man-machine interface for manipulation of at least one data source connected to a video conference system for a video conference, the method comprising:
-
generating first signals by a man-machine interface, the first signals generated to manipulate application data stored in the data source for joint processing of at least one document stored in the data source by conference participants during the video conference; transmitting the first signals to the video conference system via a transmission channel provided to control a video camera during the video conference, the transmission channel being operated according to a far end camera control (FECC) protocol. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A system for connecting at least one man-machine interface for remote manipulation of at least one data source during a video conference, the system comprising:
-
a first terminal communicatively connectable to first non-transitory memory having application data; a second terminal connected to a man-machine interface; and at least one of the first memory and the first terminal being communicatively connected to the second terminal via a channel of communication provided to control a video camera; and wherein the man-machine interface is configured to generate first signals to manipulate the application data to jointly process at least one document of the application data by conference participants of a video conference, the first signals being generated for transmission along the channel of communication to effect manipulation of the application data by the first terminal such that application data manipulated by the man-machine interface is displayed analogously by the first terminal, the channel of communication being operated according to a far end camera control (FECC) protocol. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method for connecting at least one man-machine interface for manipulating a data source connected to a video conferencing system, the data source comprising data for an application conference participants are to process together during a video conference, the method comprising:
-
generating first signals by a first man-machine interface for manipulation of application data stored in the data source for joint processing of at least one document of the application data by conference participants of the video conference; and transmitting the first signals to the video conferencing system via a transmission channel allocated for control of a video camera, the channel being operated according to a far end camera control (FECC) protocol.

30. The method of claim 30, wherein the first man-machine interface is comprised of a pointer device connected to a first terminal, wherein the data source is not a video camera, wherein manipulation of the pointer device generates the first signals, the method comprising:
changing a position of a displayed pointer by a second terminal in response to the second terminal receiving the first signals transmitted by the first terminal via the transmission channel allocated for control of the video camera, the changed position of the pointer being displayed based on the first signals such that movement of the displayed pointer corresponds with movement of a pointer displayed via the first terminal that occurs as a result of the manipulation of the pointer device.
