First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling components associated with a room, using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving at a meeting controller including a room controller and a presentation controller, from a registered mobile device, a command for controlling at least one component associated with a room;
determining if the command is a room command for controlling a room component associated with the room;
upon determining that the command is a room command for controlling the room component associated with the room, causing the room component to respond to the room command by the room controller;
upon determining that the command is not a room command, determining if the command is a presentation command for controlling a presentation component associated with a presentation;
upon determining that the command is a presentation command for controlling the presentation component associated with a presentation, causing the presentation component to respond to the presentation command by the presentation controller;
determining if the mobile device is authorized to send the command;
upon determining that the mobile device is not authorized to send the command, returning a response to the mobile device that the mobile device is not authorized to send the command; and

Abstract
Technologies are described herein for controlling components associated with a room using a mobile phone. A gateway is configured to receive a command from a mobile phone. Upon receiving the command, the gateway determines whether the command is a room command or a presentation command. If the command is a room command, the gateway causes the room component to respond to the room component. If the command received is a presentation command, the gateway causes the presentation component to respond to the presentation command. A user may input commands to the mobile phone by making gestures with or on a screen of the mobile phone, by utilizing phone keys of the mobile phone, or by interacting with user interface controls displayed on the mobile phone.

9. An apparatus for enabling meeting room controls to be controlled using one or more mobile phones, the apparatus comprising:
-
a meeting controller including a room controller and a presentation controller; a processor; a memory for storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive, from a registered mobile phone, a command for controlling at least one component, determine if the command is a room command for controlling a room component associated with the room, upon determining that the command is a room command for controlling the room component associated with the room, cause the room component to respond to the room command by the room controller, upon determining that the command is not a room command, determine if the command is a presentation command for controlling a presentation component associated with a presentation, and upon determining that the command is a presentation command for controlling the presentation component associated with a presentation, cause the presentation component to respond to the presentation command by the presentation controller, determining if the mobile phone is authorized to send the command; upon determining that the mobile phone is not authorized to send the command, returning a response to the mobile phone that the mobile phone is not authorized to send that command; and upon determining that the mobile phone is authorized to send the command, causing a component associated with the command to respond to the command. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A mobile phone for controlling components associated with a meeting room, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory; a control application comprising computer-readable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive a request from a gateway for authentication credentials of a user using the mobile phone; transmit authentication credentials to the gateway; receive registration notification from the gateway that the mobile phone is registered to transmit a command to a meeting controller; receive a gesture, determine if the received gesture represents a command for controlling at least one component associated with the meeting room, and upon determining that the received gesture represents the command for controlling at least one component associated with the meeting room, to transmit the command to the gateway, wherein the gateway is configured to transmit the command to the meeting controller that controls one of a room component by a room controller associated with the meeting controller, or a presentation component by a presentation controller associated with the meeting controller. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
