Abstract
A system or device can be configured with a first interface to provide content to a remote web-browser. This first interface can be provided by a computer server designed to implement a website. A second interface is configured and arranged to communicate content of an IP-based conference with a remote IP-enabled device. This second interface may also communicate video content, text content, document sharing content and/or desktop sharing content. A computer processing circuit is configured to establish an IP-based call between the remote web-browser and the remote audio-enabled device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- executing computer instructions via a computer system and therein causing the computer system to perform steps including:
- operating a unified display, including circuitry to display data, accessible by a remote web browser, the unified display providing access to a plurality of disparate communications systems in a single graphical user interface;
- conveying a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each of the plurality of interface modules including circuitry to communicate with a corresponding communication system of the plurality of disparate communications systems in response to the status message, the plurality of disparate communications systems having a plurality of respectively different formats;
- establishing an electronic meeting between multiple individuals, the electronic meeting including different forms of content, from among a plurality of content forms including at least one of audio and video content, associated with communications shared in the electronic meeting;
- and
- generating the status message in response to the electronic meeting being established, the general status message including a message for a status update associated with the electronic meeting that updates at least a subset of the plurality of disparate communications systems.

An apparatus comprising:
- an arrangement of circuitry, including at least one computer, to execute computer instructions via a computer system and therein causing the arrangement of circuitry to:
- operate a unified display, including circuitry to display data, accessible by a remote web browser, the unified display providing access to a plurality of disparate communications systems in a single graphical user interface;
- convey a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each of the plurality of interface modules including circuitry to communicate with a corresponding communication system of the plurality of disparate communications systems in response to the status message, the plurality of disparate communications systems having a plurality of respectively different formats;
- establish an electronic meeting between multiple individuals, the electronic meeting including different forms of content, from among a plurality of content forms including at least one of audio and video content, associated with communications shared in the electronic meeting;
- and
- generate the status message in response to the electronic meeting being established, the general status message including a message for a status update associated with the electronic meeting that updates at least a subset of the plurality of disparate communications systems;
- the arrangement of circuitry further including:
- a first server to convey data to the remote web browser;
- a second server to communicate content of audio telephone calls with a remote audio-enabled device;
- and
- a computer processing circuit to facilitate communications between various ones of the plurality of disparate communications systems.
