Content-Based Media Timestamps for Fast Meeting Reference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for referencing business presentations are inefficient due to the lack of effective summarization, annotation, and timestamping, making it tedious to revisit discussions and document meetings.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that generates content-based timestamps by analyzing visual and semantic changes in media presentations, using techniques like Euclidean distance, STT, DTW, ASR, Doc2Vec, and Word2Vec to create transcripts with timestamps and summaries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If transcript is provided for business presentations, then documentation is available, but going through the transcript is tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts key information from the full transcript by generating summaries and identifying important timestamps. The system takes out essential content points, speaker changes, and topic transitions, presenting them in a condensed format that retains documentation value while reducing review time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the continuous transcript into discrete, meaningful sections marked by timestamps. Each segment represents a distinct topic or speaker contribution, allowing users to navigate directly to specific portions of interest rather than reading through the entire transcript sequentially.
2Loss of information
If full transcript is provided without annotation, then complete record is available, but referencing specific discussions is complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of the transcript to identify and mark important locations before the user needs to reference them. Timestamps are pre-calculated at speaker transitions, topic changes, and key discussion points, enabling rapid navigation and referencing without requiring users to manually search through the transcript.
3Manufacturing precision
If no summarization is provided, then all details are preserved, but efficient summarization of meetings is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial summarization by selecting and highlighting only the most important portions of the transcript rather than summarizing everything. Key timestamps, speaker transitions, and topic markers are extracted at appropriate density to provide efficient overview without losing critical discussion details.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides a system and a method for referencing media/recording using content-based timestamps. The system enables proper documenting of a recording based on visual pixel changes and semantic changes in a slide or a conversation respectively. The system generates timestamps where the timestamps are pointers to the locations in the recording when a new topic is started. The system divides the recording into sections based on the timestamps. Further, the system generates labels for the timestamps along with a transcript for the whole recording that would enable a user to jump to a point of interest in the recording. Hence, the system saves user's time and ensures proper documentation of the recording.
