Abstract

Generally discussed herein are systems and apparatuses for multi-mode collaboration between entities in different jurisdictions. According to an example a technique can include determining a location of a remote communication device by at least one of a global positioning system (GPS), low frequency (LF) atomic time radio, earth magnetic signature, internet protocol (IP) address, and cell phone tower triangulation, determine regulations regarding communication from an internal network to the remote device based on the determined location, and configure the remote device to transmit and receive communications in a manner compliant with the determined regulations including one of voice over internet protocol (VOIP) communication, hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) communication, text communication, voice communication, video communication, and augmented reality communication.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A method for providing information for a collaboration between a remote communication device and a device connected to an internal network, the method comprising:

receiving data indicating a location of the remote communication device;
identifying regulations regarding communication from the internal network to the remote communication device based on the received data and a location of the internal network;
estimating a capability of the remote communication device to communicate with the device of the internal network for each communication protocol of a plurality of communication protocols, the plurality of communication protocols including two or more of voice over internet protocol (VOIP) communication, hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) communication, text communication, voice communication, video communication, and augmented reality communication for a given session;
selecting, based on the estimated capability of the remote communication device, a communication protocol of the communication protocols;
configuring the remote communication device to transmit and receive communications in a manner compliant with the identified regulations and the selected communication protocol;
and
transmitting communications consistent with the selected communication protocol.

4 more elements

At least one non transitory machine-readable storage device including instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the machine, configure the machine to perform operations for remote collaboration between a user of remote communication device and a user of a device of an internal network, the operations comprising:

receiving data indicating a location of the remote communication device;
identifying regulations regarding communication from the internal network to the remote communication device based on the received data and a location of the internal network;
estimating a capability of the remote communication device to communicate with the device of the internal network for each of a plurality of communication protocols, the plurality of communication protocols including two or more of voice over internet protocol (VOIP) communication, hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) communication, text communication, voice communication, video communication, and augmented reality communication for a given session;
selecting, based on the estimated capability of the remote communication device, a communication protocol of the communication protocols;
configuring the remote communication device to transmit and receive communications in a manner compliant with the identified regulations and the selected communication protocol;
and
transmitting communications consistent with the selected communication protocol.
