Abstract

Various embodiments of an apparatus, method(s), system(s) and computer program product(s) described herein are directed to an Event Logging Engine. The Event Logging Engine logs event data identifying at least one of: (i) activity of one or more regulated user accounts within a virtual meeting during occurrence of the virtual meeting and (ii) activity of the one or more regulated user accounts with respect to a virtual meeting resource after occurrence of the virtual conference meeting. The Event Logging Engine inserts at least one regulated user account timestamp in the logged event data where each regulated user account is associated with a respective compliance policy. The Event Logging Engine receives a request from an external source for logged event data related to a particular regulated user account. The Event Logging Engine provides access to the logged event data related to one or more timestamps identifying the particular regulated user account.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

providing, by a communication platform configured to facilitate real-time communications between user devices, a first whiteboard for a first group of regulated user accounts associated with a first entity for which a first compliance policy defining selective content logging is enforced;
providing, by the communication platform, a second whiteboard for a second group of regulated user accounts associated with a second entity for which a second compliance policy defining selective content logging is enforced;
generating, by the communication platform, first timestamped event data by inserting a first timestamp within first logged event data logged by an event logging engine monitoring content of the first whiteboard according to the first compliance policy, wherein the event logging engine logs event data identifying at least one of:
(i) activity of one or more regulated user accounts within a virtual meeting during occurrence of the virtual meeting, (ii) activity of one or more non-regulated user accounts within the virtual meeting directed at a whiteboard that is associated with an event by any regulated user account, or (iii) activity of the one or more regulated user accounts with respect to the whiteboard after occurrence of the virtual meeting;
generating, by the communication platform, second timestamped event data by inserting a second timestamp within second logged event data logged by the event logging engine monitoring content of the second whiteboard according to the second compliance policy;
receiving a request, by the communication platform, from an external source for logged event data related to a particular regulated user account;
and
limiting access, by the communication platform, to the first timestamped event data to users associated with the first entity and access to the second timestamped event data to users associated with the second entity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein to be executed by one or more processors, the program code including instructions for:

providing, by a communication platform configured to facilitate real-time communications between user devices, a first whiteboard for a first group of regulated user accounts associated with a first entity for which a first compliance policy defining selective content logging is enforced;
providing, by the communication platform, a second whiteboard for a second group of regulated user accounts associated with a second entity for which a second compliance policy defining selective content logging is enforced;
generating, by the communication platform, first timestamped event data by inserting a first timestamp within first logged event data logged by an event logging engine monitoring content of the first whiteboard according to the first compliance policy, wherein the event logging engine logs event data identifying at least one of:
(i) activity of one or more regulated user accounts within a virtual meeting during occurrence of the virtual meeting, (ii) activity of one or more non-regulated user accounts within the virtual meeting directed at a whiteboard that is associated with an event by any regulated user account, or (iii) activity of the one or more regulated user accounts with respect to the whiteboard after occurrence of the virtual meeting;
generating, by the communication platform, second timestamped event data by inserting a second timestamp within second logged event data logged by the event logging engine monitoring content of the second whiteboard according to the second compliance policy;
receiving a request, by the communication platform, from an external source for logged event data related to a particular regulated user account;
and
limiting access, by the communication platform, to the first timestamped event data to users associated with the first entity and access to the second timestamped event data to users associated with the second entity.

5 more elements

A communication system comprising one or more processors configured to perform operations of:

providing, by a communication platform configured to facilitate real-time communications between user devices, a first whiteboard for a first group of regulated user accounts associated with a first entity for which a first compliance policy defining selective content logging is enforced;
providing, by the communication platform, a second whiteboard for a second group of regulated user accounts associated with a second entity for which a second compliance policy defining selective content logging is enforced;
generating, by the communication platform, first timestamped event data by inserting a first timestamp within first logged event data logged by an event logging engine monitoring content of the first whiteboard according to the first compliance policy, wherein the event logging engine logs event data identifying at least one of:
(i) activity of one or more regulated user accounts within a virtual meeting during occurrence of the virtual meeting, (ii) activity of one or more non-regulated users account within the virtual meeting directed at a whiteboard that is associated with an event by any regulated user accounts, or (iii) activity of the one or more regulated user accounts with respect to the whiteboard after occurrence of the virtual meeting;
generating, by the communication platform, second timestamped event data by inserting a second timestamp within second logged event data logged by the event logging engine monitoring content of the second whiteboard according to the second compliance policy;
receiving a request, by the communication platform, from an external source for logged event data related to a particular regulated user account;
and
limiting access, by the communication platform, to the first timestamped event data to users associated with the first entity and access to the second timestamped event data to users associated with the second entity.
