Embodiment Construction

[0039] A detailed example of the preferred embodiment is given below to illustrate how the invention can be used in support of a design session. figure 1 An example of this is shown in . The user interface 1000 is composed of two related parts: a phased social proxy 1010, which explicitly describes the presence and activity of participants in each phase of the meeting; and a phased dialog representation 1015, which describes the various phases of the meeting topics, current conversations, and artifacts (such as documents and drawings) related to or produced during the meeting.

[0040] The staged social agent 1010 of a presentation session is a public presentation, ie, all participants see the same presentation, and all participants know that other participants see the same presentation.

[0041] The staged social agent 1010 represents a given meeting with a series of simple stage shapes 1050-1090 connected by lines 1100-1130, each stage shape corresponding to a particular st...

Abstract

An Agenda-Driven Meeting (ADM) allows a distributed set of users to have an online, not necessarily synchronous meeting including an agenda which specifies both the topics or goals of the meeting's phases, as well as the interrelationship between the phases, including the order of execution. The system provides a graphical representation, which shows the status of each phase-including indicators of user participation-as well as the relationship between the phases. Input can include text comments; queries, potentially directed to one or more users; responses to these queries; task assignments, also potentially directed to one or more users; summaries of phases; and indicators of users interest in a given query or response. The ADM graphic representation reflects each of the elements including the particular phase to which a given element is related. The system allows a given user to replay a given ADM instance, even after the meeting has been completed. A service is also provided enabling a service organization to facilitate the use of Agenda-Driven Meetings by a customer organization.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to graphical user interfaces for online collaborative environments. Background technique [0002] It often happens that the user finally manages to connect to the online meeting, but after completing a lot of work, the online meeting is displayed as complete. Users need to know which agendas are completed; current meeting items; and which agendas remain. [0003] A number of technical solutions have been proposed that address one or more of these problems. [0004] NNTP, or Network News (see Ed Krol, The Whole Internet Catalog, O'Reilly and Associates, Inc. Sebastopol, CA. 1992 for details) provides a venue where users can post messages and responses to administrative newsgroups (ie, predetermined groups of messages related to a specified topic, eg all articles in alt.sport.soccer should be about football). Interactions are provided only in loosely structured forms, such as queries and responses. Other types of interac...
