PERSONAL CALENDAR BRIDGE FOR ROOM-BASED CONFERENCING

摘要

A video conferencing room system and method may use a room calendar and a bridge to a personal calendar on a client device so a user may start a meeting in a video conferencing room without scheduling access to the room in advance. Further, the video conferencing room system may be used with video conferencing software running on the client device instead of the video conferencing room system. The room is equipped with a host controller connected to a display, camera, audio and/r other infrastructure in the room for running a video conference. A calendar parser identifies meeting calendar entries and determines meeting metadata. A room manager may facilitate a video conference and inform attendees.
