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 35):
A communication system, comprising:\n a terminal device; at least one conference appliance that is communicatively connectable to the terminal device, a server computer device configured to provide at least one social network service, the server computer device being communicatively connectable to at least one of the terminal device and the conference appliance; the terminal device being configured to communicate with one of the server computer device and the conference appliance to join the conference appliance to a conference communication session for providing at least one service for that conference communication session such that a graphical user interface is displayable by the terminal device to communicate a request to join the conference appliance to the conference communication session in a same way as a human user of the social network service is invited to join the conference communication session, 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; wherein the conference appliance is configured to receive audio from conference participants within a conference room for the conference communication session and the conference appliance is configured to output audio of the conference communication session in the conference room during the conference communication session; and the conference appliance is configured to communicate with terminal devices of conference participants within the conference room to deactivate microphones and speakers of the terminal devices during the conference communication session at a time the conference appliance is joined to the conference communication session.
