Meeting Content Determiner for Resuming Projects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional collaboration tools are ineffective in surfacing content from communications like emails, text messages, and chat conversations, and fail to assist users in resuming meetings by identifying and presenting relevant content from previous meetings.
Innovation Solution
A shared computing device that correlates user interactions to identify and present relevant meeting content, using a graph data structure to weight content based on user access and interactions, and integrates with services like Microsoft Office 365, Slack, and Dropbox to provide a user-centered interface for easy content access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional collaboration tools are used to store and search documents, then users can access stored documents, but the tools fail to surface relevant content from communications and previous meetings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple information sources (emails, text messages, chat conversations, previous meeting content) into a unified content retrieval system. The meeting managing application aggregates content from various communication channels and previous meetings, making relevant information accessible without requiring users to manually search through separate tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a meeting managing application as an intermediary layer between users and the diverse content sources. This application correlates user interactions across different platforms (Office 365, Slack, Dropbox) and automatically identifies and presents relevant content, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate multiple tools.
2Productivity
If users manually search for relevant content from previous meetings, then they can find some documents, but the process is time-consuming and ineffective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically correlating user interactions and identifying relevant content before meetings begin. The system pre-processes communication data, builds graphs representing user-content relationships, and prepares relevant content for quick retrieval, eliminating the need for manual searching during meeting setup.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system learns from user interactions with content. By analyzing which content users access and how they interact with it, the system refines its ability to automatically identify and present relevant content for future meetings, continuously improving efficiency.
3Loss of information
If a shared computing device tracks and analyzes user interactions across multiple services, then relevant content can be automatically identified, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a meeting managing application as an intermediary that simplifies the complex task of analyzing user interactions across multiple services. Rather than requiring direct integration and analysis between all services, the intermediary application correlates interactions and identifies relevant content through a unified approach, managing system complexity centrally.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal meeting managing application that can handle multiple services (Office 365, Slack, Dropbox) through a single interface. This multi-functional application performs correlation, analysis, and content identification across diverse platforms, reducing the need for separate complex integration systems for each service.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described here that identify meeting content. A meeting content determiner in a shared computing device identifies a group including two or more participants in a meeting, where at least one participant of the group is logged into an account associated with a meeting content determiner. Further, the meeting content determiner identifies content associated with the two or more participants, and accessible by the at least one participant logged into the account and displays indications of the identified content to one or more participants of the group.
