Abstract:
A communication system can include terminal devices that communicate with a social network or a computer server device for scheduling use of conference resources and/or for using conference appliances that may be located in a conference room being used for a video conference or teleconference. The communication system can be configured to permit a user to use such resources without having to have a user's device be physically and directly connected by wiring to a conference appliance or communication device. The communication system can also be configured to validate participants to help ensure that only authorized personnel are properly attending a scheduled conference based on audio and/or video input received for the different participants and can also be configured to allow screen sharing to be performed during a video conference or teleconference.

Claim (Index 40):
A method of facilitating a conference communication session via a communication network, the method comprising:\n a terminal device having a processor and non-transitory memory registering with the at least one server computer device to utilize a social networking service hosted by the at least one server computer device, the terminal device communicating authentication information to the at least one server computer device before establishing a connection for use of the social networking service; the terminal device generating a graphical user interface after registration with the at least one server device to display the graphical user interface to a user to facilitate receipt of input from the user for communicating requests for social network services to the at least one server computer device, the graphical user interface having icons, each icon representing an entity that is joinable to a conference communication session, each conference appliance being represented as a respective one of the icons for joining to the conference communication session such that input for selection of the conference appliance for utilization of the conference appliance in the conference communication session is providable via selection of the icon representing that conference appliance and moving icon along the graphical user interface to a graphical element of the graphical user interface to actuate the joining of the conference appliance to the conference communication session; and in response to receiving a communication from the terminal device initiated via the graphical user interface relating to a scheduling of the conference communication session, the server computer device:\n communicating with a communication device to automatically schedule use of resources for the conference communication session based on information included in the communication from the terminal device such that the communication device reserves conference communication session resources so that the conference communication resources are available for the conference communication session when that conference communication session is scheduled to occur, \n communicating with terminal devices of users to be invited to the conference communication session identified in the communication from the terminal device relating to the scheduling of the conference communication session or a calendar server computer device that manages calendars for different users to have calendars associated with the users to be invited to the conference communication session updated to identify the scheduled conference communication session, and \n sending information to the terminal device such that a conference appliance is identifiable to the terminal device for the terminal device to establish a connection with that conference appliance for use of at least one service for the conference communication session; and \n in response to receipt of input provided via movement of the icon representing the conference appliance to the graphical element transmitted to the server computer device via the terminal device, the server computer device communicating with the conference appliance to join the conference appliance to the conference communication session.
