Benefits of technology
The patent describes a system for conducting a communication session between multiple users by sharing media content. The system receives a media stream from a user's device and performs image analysis to identify the content being shared. The system then provides access to the shared content to all users in the communication session. The technical effect is a more efficient and efficient way to share media content between multiple users.
Problems solved by technology
However, unless the participant sharing the content distributes the content to the participants of the communication session, the shared content is often unavailable to the other participants.
Thus, if the participant sharing the content item does not remember to manually share this content item, the other participants to the meeting may not have access to this resource which may convey important information from the communication session.
For example, some mobile or special purpose operating systems may not provide the frameworks / middleware 618.

Techniques performed by a data processing system for conducting a communication session between a plurality of computing devices of a plurality of participants herein include establishing a communication session between a plurality of computing devices of a plurality of participants in which media content associated with the communication session is provided to each of the computing devices of the plurality of participants, receiving, via a network connection, a first media stream from the computing device of a first participant that includes a rendering of a first content item to be shared with the plurality of participants, performing image analysis on pixel data of the first media steam to identify features of the first content item, identifying a first file associated with the first content item based on the features of the first content item, and providing access to the participants to the first file associated with the first content item.
Description
BACKGROUND[0001]Conventional communications platforms provide an environment for conducting online communication sessions in which at least a portion of the participants may be located remotely from one another and may share audio and / or video content with other participants to the communication session. Some conventional communications platforms facilitate “screen sharing” in which a first participant may share with the other participants to the communication session a rendering of at least a portion of the desktop or similar workspace of the first participant's computing device and / or a rendering of an application window being executed on the first participant's computing device. The first participant may share a content item, such as but not limited to a slide presentation or a document with the other participants. Participants to the communication session may wish to later refer to the shared content. However, unless the participant sharing the content distributes the content to...
