Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio-video conferencing systems lack efficient methods for identifying and disseminating pertinent information, such as decisions, action items, and meeting moments, requiring manual organization and review of recordings, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A collaborative contextual summary interface system that generates and maintains a summary of audio-video conference content, allowing users to capture and share key moments, decisions, and action items programmatically, reducing the need for manual organization and enhancing communication by providing a contextually relevant summary.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual organization and review of conference recordings is used, then information can be captured, but it is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation dissemination efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual organization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures, organizes, and disseminates conference information without requiring manual intervention. The apparatus autonomously monitors the conference presentation, identifies capture requests, generates content data objects, and distributes summaries to participants, enabling the system to serve itself rather than relying on human operators for information extraction and distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of reviewing and organizing conference recordings with an automated computational system. The apparatus uses computer-coded instructions to monitor presentations, process capture requests, generate content objects, and distribute information programmatically, substituting human manual labor with automated software-based mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If comprehensive conference content is captured, then all pertinent information is available, but information overload occurs making it difficult to identify key points

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of informationVSAvoidease of information retrieval
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the pertinent information from the comprehensive conference content based on capture requests. The apparatus identifies specific moments, decisions, and action items that are relevant to participants, separating these key elements from the rest of the conference content. This extraction process delivers complete information about important topics while filtering out unnecessary details that would cause information overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If automated capture and dissemination system is implemented, then efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation dissemination efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The apparatus is designed as a multi-functional system that can handle multiple types of capture requests (moments, decisions, action items) and serve multiple participants simultaneously. The same core infrastructure monitors conferences, processes various capture request types, generates appropriate content objects, and distributes information through unified channels, reducing overall system complexity through functional consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide for generation of a collaborative contextual summary interface in association with an audio-video conferencing interface service. An example embodiment is configured to monitor an active audio-video conference presentation that is configured for display to participating client devices by the audio-video conferencing interface service, identify a first capture content request associated with the active audio-video conference presentation, generate a first captured content data object based at least in part on the first capture content request, correlate a first captured content interface indicator to the first captured content data object, and generate a collaborative contextual summary interface based at least in part on the first captured content data object, wherein the collaborative contextual summary interface comprises the first captured content interface indicator.
