Abstract
Systems and methods for handling conference room boundaries and/or context are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a video bar may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the video bar to: transmit an ultrasonic signal in a conference room, where the ultrasonic signal comprises at least one of: room data, meeting data, or a peripheral setting; and establish or maintain a connection with a client IHS, at least in part, in response to a message from the client IHS indicating receipt of the ultrasonic signal.
Claims20
A video bar, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the video bar to:
- transmit an ultrasonic signal in a conference room, wherein the ultrasonic signal comprises at least one of:
- room data, meeting data, or a peripheral setting;
- and
- establish or maintain a connection with a client Information Handling System (IHS), at least in part, in response to a message from the client IHS indicating receipt of the ultrasonic signal.
A hardware memory device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of a client Information Handling System (IHS), cause the client IHS to:
- receive an ultrasonic signal from a video bar in a conference room, wherein the ultrasonic signal comprises a session key, and wherein the video bar is coupled to a host IHS;
- and
- in response to the ultrasonic signal, use the session key to establish or maintain a data connection with the video bar or the host IHS.
A method, comprising:
- determining, at least in part using a video bar, a presence of an Information Handling System (IHS) with respect to a conference room;
- and
- requesting an access code from a user of the IHS, at least in part, in response to the IHS being outside the conference room.
