Automated Web Meeting Recording Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web meeting recordings include wasteful sections such as silent moments, distractions, and breaks, making it tedious for participants to review significant content, which may deter them from replaying the recording.
Innovation Solution
An automated method to classify initial recordings into relevant and irrelevant portions, generating a shortened recording that includes only the significant sections, using detection engines that assess audio, video, and metadata content to identify timestamps or range identifiers for skipping over irrelevant parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a complete recording of the web meeting is saved, then all content including significant discussions is preserved, but the recording contains wasteful sections that increase review time and reduce user engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the continuous meeting recording into discrete portions based on detected speaker activity and content significance. The detection engine divides the recording into segments with speaker activity (potentially relevant) and segments without speaker activity (likely irrelevant), allowing selective processing and review of only the meaningful portions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes wasteful sections from the complete meeting recording. By detecting portions without speaker activity or with minimal content value (such as long pauses, thinking moments, or distractions), the system extracts only the significant sections containing actual discussion and presentation content for the shortened recording.
2Measurement precision
If the complete recording is played at normal speed, then all content is reviewed accurately, but the review process becomes tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of the complete recording before the user reviews it. The detection engine pre-processes the recording to identify and mark significant sections containing speaker activity and potential discussion content, preparing a structured format that enables efficient user review without requiring them to manually scan through irrelevant portions.
3Loss of time
If playback speed is increased to reduce review time, then less time is spent on wasteful sections, but the user experience becomes unenjoyable and may deter replay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes wasteful sections from the complete meeting recording. By detecting portions without speaker activity or with minimal content value (such as long pauses, thinking moments, or distractions), the system extracts only the significant sections containing actual discussion and presentation content for the shortened recording.

AI summary
A technique processes an initial recording of a meeting. The technique involves receiving the initial recording of the meeting, and performing a content classification operation that electronically classifies the initial recording of the meeting into a set of relevant conference portions and a set of irrelevant conference portions. The technique further involves, based on the initial recording of the meeting, providing a shortened recording of the meeting. The shortened recording includes the set of relevant conference portions and omits the set of irrelevant conference portions.
