Meeting Narration Visualization System for Transcript Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for exploring recorded meeting content, such as scrubbing audio-video recordings and reviewing transcripts, are time-consuming and prone to errors, making it difficult to identify relevant information and detect patterns and trends across large meeting collections.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that generates visualizations of recorded meeting data, allowing users to interactively filter and expand transcript sentences based on topics, attendees, or other parameters within a graphical user interface, enabling efficient exploration and analysis of meeting content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If scrubbing audio-video recordings is used to explore meeting content, then complete information is available, but the process becomes prohibitively time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts key information from audio-video recordings by generating transcripts and identifying important segments, then presents this extracted information in a condensed visual format. This allows users to access essential meeting content without watching entire recordings, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that converts raw audio-video content into structured visual representations including transcripts, timestamps, and highlighted segments. This intermediary format serves as a bridge between complete recordings and quick review needs, enabling efficient exploration while preserving access to full content when necessary.
2Productivity
If transcripts are reviewed using a text editor, then exploration speed increases, but transcription errors cause confusion and incorrect conclusions
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges transcript text with corresponding audio-video segments and visual highlights, creating a multi-modal verification system. When users review transcripts, they can simultaneously view relevant video/audio segments to verify accuracy, combining the speed of text review with the reliability of original content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where users can easily navigate from transcript segments back to original audio-video content for verification. This feedback loop allows users to detect and correct transcription errors by comparing against the original recording, maintaining accuracy while preserving fast text-based exploration.
3Loss of information
If all transcript sentences are displayed, then complete information is available, but relevant patterns and trends become obfuscated
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality enhancement by selectively highlighting and emphasizing specific transcript segments that contain important information, patterns, or trends. Rather than treating all text uniformly, the visualization differentiates between ordinary and significant content through visual cues, making patterns detectable while preserving complete information in the background.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complete transcript into manageable units with visual indicators, organizing content by themes, speakers, or temporal patterns. This segmentation allows users to detect patterns across different segments while the system maintains access to the complete unsegmented information for comprehensive analysis.
4Measurement precision
If manual review of meeting content is performed, then detailed analysis is possible, but the process is primarily manual and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating visualizations, identifying key segments, and organizing transcript content without requiring manual intervention. This automated preprocessing enables detailed analysis capabilities while eliminating the time-consuming manual review process, allowing users to focus on interpretation rather than preparation.
Data Source
AI summary
In various embodiments, a meeting narration application generates visualizations of recorded meeting data. The meeting narration application generates a first visualization of a set of parameters based on a set of transcript sentences associated with the recorded meeting data. The meeting narration application displays the first visualization and a first expanded content visualization of a first transcript sentence included in the set of transcript sentences within a graphical user interface (GUI). Subsequently, the meeting narration application receives a user event associated with the first visualization via the GUI. The meeting narration application modifies a first parameter selection associated with the set of parameters based on the user event to generate a modified parameter selection. Based on the modified parameter selection, the meeting narration application displays a first compressed content visualization of the first transcript sentence within the GUI.
