Online Meeting Server Electronic Summary Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web conference systems make it difficult for participants to locate specific content from previous meetings, as content is not consistently organized, leading to inefficiencies in finding particular information within recordings of past conferences.
Innovation Solution
An online meeting server generates an electronic summary based on textual metadata from meeting content, including slide titles and keywords, allowing participants to easily search and filter through content using a navigation tool, thereby facilitating quick access to desired information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional conference servers record web conferences, then participants can access content from previous meetings, but it becomes difficult to locate specific content quickly through recordings
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically generating electronic summaries and extracting metadata from meeting content before participants need to search for it. The summary is created in advance and stored with the recording, so when a participant needs to locate content, the structured summary is already ready to guide them quickly through the recording without requiring them to manually search through unorganized content.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic summary acts as an intermediary between the raw meeting recording and the participant's information needs. Instead of requiring participants to directly search through the complete recording, the summary serves as a structured index or table of contents that mediates the search process, providing organized identifiers and key information that point to specific content locations within the recording.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple people manage various content of an online meeting, then content can be collected from different sources, but content identity becomes inconsistent and difficult to locate
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies parameter changes by transforming diverse content from multiple sources into a standardized format with consistent metadata parameters. The electronic summary uses uniform identifiers, classification schemes, and structured data formats across all content regardless of its original source or format, thereby maintaining adaptability while ensuring consistent content identity and ease of location.
3Quantity of substance
If participants listen through recordings of previous web conferences to locate content, then all content can be accessed, but the process becomes unwieldy and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complete meeting recording into manageable units organized by the electronic summary structure. The summary divides content into distinct segments with identifiers, timestamps, and descriptive metadata, allowing participants to access specific segments directly rather than listening through the entire recording sequentially. This segmentation dramatically improves ease of operation while maintaining access to all content.
Data Source
AI summary
An improved technique of organizing content of online meetings involves generating an electronic summary based on a textual metadata derived from content presented in an online meeting. An online meeting server collects content such as audio, video, and slide files presented in a particular online meeting. From metadata associated with such content, the online meeting server generates an electronic summary of the particular online meeting which includes a textual description of the content. The online meeting server then stores the electronic summary and the content presented in the particular online meeting in a repository that is configured to store content from other online meetings.
