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.

Claims

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.
