US 11,080,356 B1 · Enhancing online remote meeting/training experience using machine learning

Abstract

Real-time summarization of an online meeting is accomplished using a cognitive system that analyzes meeting content and generates a mini-presentation, i.e., a small number of slides that condense more extensive details. The summary allows an attendee to easily and quickly review portions of the meeting that were missed, while the meeting is still ongoing. The cognitive system can customize the summary for the attendee based on the attendee's role or information in the meeting content which has previously been presented to the attendee. A user interface has a special scrollbar divided into multiple sections corresponding to different topics of the summary. The presentation window can switch from current content to previous content when the attendee selects a particular section. A feedback mechanism may also be used to assist the presenter with future presentations, based on subjects raised in audience interaction that were topics of the meeting.

Dependent claims

A method of enhancing an online meeting between at least one presenter and at least one attendee who is remote from the at least one presenter comprising:

accumulating meeting content provided by the at least one presenter to the at least one attendee over a network;
analyzing the accumulated meeting content in real-time during the online meeting using a cognitive system to create a summary of the meeting content wherein the cognitive system is trained using previous presentations provided to an attendee of the at least one attendee and using a plurality of candidate roles and the summary is customized to the attendee by the cognitive system based on information in the accumulated meeting content which is also found in one or more of the previous presentations and based on a role of the attendee;
receiving a request from the attendee to review the summary;
and
responsive to the received request, providing the summary to the attendee over the network while the online meeting is ongoing.

2 more elements

A computer system comprising:

one or more processors which process program instructions;
a memory device connected to said one or more processors;
and
program instructions residing in said memory device for enhancing an online meeting between at least one presenter and at least one attendee who is remote from the at least one presenter by accumulating meeting content provided by the at least one presenter to the at least one attendee over a network, analyzing the accumulated meeting content in real-time during the online meeting using a cognitive system to create a summary of the meeting content wherein the cognitive system is trained using previous presentations provided to an attendee of the at least one attendee and using a plurality of candidate roles and the summary is customized to the attendee by the cognitive system based on information in the accumulated meeting content which is also found in one or more of the previous presentations and based on a role of the attendee, receiving a request from the attendee to review the summary, and responsively providing the summary to the attendee over the network while the online meeting is ongoing.

1 more element

A computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media;
and
program instructions collectively residing in said one or more computer readable storage media for enhancing an online meeting between at least one presenter and at least one attendee who is remote from the at least one presenter by accumulating meeting content provided by the at least one presenter to the at least one attendee over a network, analyzing the accumulated meeting content in real-time during the online meeting using a cognitive system to create a summary of the meeting content wherein the cognitive system is trained using previous presentations provided to an attendee of the at least one attendee and using a plurality of candidate roles and the summary is customized to the attendee by the cognitive system based on information in the accumulated meeting content which is also found in one or more of the previous presentations and based on a role of the attendee, receiving a request from the attendee to review the summary, and responsively providing the summary to the attendee over the network while the online meeting is ongoing.
