Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional participant introductions in virtual meetings are often unstructured, time-consuming, and can detract from the meeting's agenda, negatively impacting user experience due to the need for individual introductions by multiple participants.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing natural language processing (NLP) to analyze user data and generate dynamic introduction statements based on meeting topics and participant roles, reducing the need for lengthy individual introductions by automating the process through a computer program that captures and processes user data to create a structured introduction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional participant introductions are used in virtual meetings, then each participant can introduce themselves individually, but the process becomes time-consuming and detracts from the meeting agenda

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintroduction processVSAvoidmeeting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple individual introduction statements into a single consolidated introduction for all meeting participants. The system gathers introduction data from multiple users, processes it through NLP to identify key features, and generates one unified dynamic introduction statement that represents all participants, thereby eliminating the need for each participant to introduce themselves individually and saving meeting time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary gathering and processing of introduction data before the meeting actually occurs. By collecting introduction information in advance and generating the consolidated introduction statement prior to the meeting start, the system prepares the introduction content beforehand, allowing for quick presentation during the meeting without time-consuming individual introductions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional participant introductions are used in virtual meetings, then individual introductions can be provided, but the process is unstructured and reduces user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintroduction structureVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic introduction generation system that adapts the introduction content based on meeting context. The system determines whether the meeting is scheduled or live, captures user features accordingly, and updates the dynamic introduction statement to reflect current meeting conditions. This dynamic adaptation provides structured yet flexible introductions that enhance user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by capturing user features during the meeting process and using this information to update and refine the dynamic introduction statement. The NLP processing analyzes the gathered data and adjusts the introduction content based on identified user features, creating a feedback loop that improves the structured nature of introductions while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
