DESC:ALL-IN-ONE INTEGRATED CONFERENCING SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]The present invention generally relates to the field of data processing systems and methods. The present invention also relates to conferencing tools for corporate and education organizations. The present invention further relates to an integration of hardware components into an all-in-one conferencing system. The present invention more particularly related to an improved all-in-one integrated conferencing system for corporate and education/training applications.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]With the advent of globalization and virtual reality, conferencing systems play a vital role in corporate communication. Conferencing tools and systems can be effective in conducting meetings between multiple remotely located users of the organization and can achieve substantial saving of time and travel expenses. Most of the modern businesses have offices/operations across a wide geographical area where employees from different office locations have to work together on a common project.
[0003]It is therefore the need of the hour for employees of enterprises to interact, share and communicate information between team members. Using tools such as conferencing tools, multiple employees can collaborate on a single task as if they were in the same room, regardless of their geographic location. While commonly referred to as conferencing, it is to be understood that some collaborative conference systems may allow conferencing via typed text, such as a chat room, audio, such as a phone conference, or even video, such as a video conference.
[0004]Conventional conferencing systems used in corporate and training applications utilize a wide range of conferencing applications. Such conventional conferencing systems comprises a main terminal device, one or more sub terminal devices, an image display unit to displaying images or pictures (hereinafter referred to as a projector) in a conference room, and a server. The conferencing system may include a function for allowing a participant to access data captured by a projector or a server using a participant PC, or to capture images being projected by a projector.
[0005]New age organizations tend to recruit their employees as free-lancers and consultants to hire the best and to minimize infrastructure requirements. A fully equipped conference room with all required hardware would be a costly affair for such organizations to enable interaction with team members. Therefore, there is a need for a new kind of hardware integration technique which brings all the components of conference room into a single unit.
[0006]In view of the above, need therefore exists for an improved hardware integration technique for developing advanced conferencing systems. A need also exists for an improved cloud based unified collaboration system to seamlessly share content/information. Also, a need exists for an improved all-in-one integrated conferencing system for corporate and education/training applications, as described in greater detail herein.
