Abstract
System and methods for running conference applications before, during, and after a network conference. In an embodiment, a method is provided for running a conference application before joining a network conference. The method includes activating a client application, selecting a conference application from a plurality of conference applications, running the conference application from the client application before joining a network conference, and joining the network conference using the client application.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- initiating a conference system server configured to provide a network conference using a conference system with application support (CSAS) client application deployed to user equipment, the network conference including audio and video information exchange over a network;
- initiating an application store associated with the conference system server, the application store including a plurality of conference applications configured to provide functionality other than providing audio and video information exchange over the network;
- transmitting a conference application of the plurality of conference applications in the application store to the user equipment to cause installation of the conference application in association with the CSAS client application on the user equipment;
- configuring the CSAS client application on the user equipment to, in response to input to the CSAS client application, run the conference application during the network conference;
- receiving, from the user equipment during the network conference, application content and an identifier corresponding to the conference application;
- and
- transmitting the application content and the identifier to attendees of the network conference.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- at least one memory device including instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
- initiate a conference system server configured to provide a network conference using a conference system with application support (CSAS) client application deployed to user equipment, the network conference including audio and video information exchange over a network;
- initiate an application store associated with the conference system server, the application store including a plurality of conference applications configured to provide functionality other than providing audio and video information exchange over the network;
- transmit a conference application of the plurality of conference applications in the application store to the user equipment to cause installation of the conference application in association with the CSAS client application on the user equipment;
- configure the CSAS client application on the user equipment to, in response to input to the CSAS client application, run the conference application during the network conference;
- receive, from the user equipment during the network conference, application content and an identifier corresponding to the conference application;
- and
- transmit the application content and the identifier to attendees of the network conference.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code that is executable by a processor for causing the processor to:
- initiate a conference system server configured to provide a network conference using a conference system with application support (CSAS) client application deployed to user equipment, the network conference including audio and video information exchange over a network;
- initiate an application store associated with the conference system server, the application store including a plurality of conference applications configured to provide functionality other than providing audio and video information exchange over the network;
- transmit a conference application of the plurality of conference applications in the application store to the user equipment to cause installation of the conference application in association with the CSAS client application on the user equipment;
- configure the CSAS client application on the user equipment to, in response to input to the CSAS client application, run the conference application during the network conference;
- receive, from the user equipment during the network conference, application content and an identifier corresponding to the conference application;
- and
- transmit the application content and the identifier to attendees of the network conference.
