Abstract
Techniques are described for creating real-time reports of meeting attendance. A calendar is accessed to determine the scheduled time and participants of a meeting. During the scheduled time of the meeting, locations of the scheduled participants are determined by obtaining position information from mobile devices carried by the participants. A meeting report is generated for any one or more of the participants, listing those participants who are present at the meeting. Relative positions of the attending participants may also be shown.
Claims20
A mobile device, comprising:
- a graphical display;
- a camera;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- during a time of a meeting, receiving first position information of a first mobile device, the first mobile device corresponding to a first participant of the meeting;
- during the time of the meeting, receiving second position information of a second mobile device, the second mobile device corresponding to a second participant of the meeting;
- presenting a first element representing the first participant on the graphical display based at least in part on the received first position information;
- presenting a second element representing the second participant on the graphical display based at least in part on the received second position information;
- capturing, via the camera, an image of the first participant;
- displaying the image on the graphical display;
- and
- annotating the image with information corresponding to the first participant.
A method, comprising:
- receiving first position information of a first mobile device, the first mobile device corresponding to a first participant of a meeting;
- receiving second position information of a second mobile device, the second mobile device corresponding to a second participant of the meeting;
- presenting a first element representing the first participant on a graphical display based at least in part on the received first position information;
- presenting a second element representing the second participant on the graphical display based at least in part on the received second position information;
- capturing, via a camera, an image of the first participant;
- displaying the image on the graphical display;
- and
- annotating the image with information corresponding to the first participant.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- determining a plurality of scheduled participants who are scheduled to attend a meeting;
- identifying individual mobile devices of a plurality of mobile devices that are associated respectively with individual participants of the scheduled participants;
- during the time of the meeting, receiving first position information regarding a first mobile device of the plurality of the mobile devices;
- determining that a first participant corresponding to the first mobile device is attending the meeting based at least in part on the first position information;
- generating an attendance map based at least in part on the position information, the attendance map indicating the name of the first participant;
- receiving an image of the first participant;
- and
- causing display of the attendance map with the image on a graphical display.
