Claims18
A method for participating in a meeting, the method comprising:
- determining that a user is virtually attending a meeting;
- monitoring the meeting for a triggering event;
- detecting an occurrence of the triggering event;
- determining, in response to detecting the occurrence of the triggering event in the meeting that the user is virtually attending, based on one or more rules, whether to send a high-level notification to the user;
- capturing, in response to determining that the user should be sent the high-level notification, a portion of the meeting, wherein the portion of the meeting comprises a predetermined amount of time surrounding the triggering event;
- and
- sending, to a device associated with the user, the high-level notification, wherein the high-level notification comprises the portion of the meeting,
- wherein detecting the occurrence of the triggering event comprises detecting an utterance of one or more keywords and wherein the one or more rules indicate to send the user a low-level notification upon detecting only a first utterance of the one or more keywords and the high-level notification upon detecting a second utterance of the one or more keywords within a predefined amount of time from the first utterance.
A system for participating in a meeting, the system comprising:
- a processor coupled to memory, wherein the memory includes a program that instructs the processor to perform:
- determining that a user is virtually attending a meeting;
- monitoring the meeting for a triggering event;
- detecting an occurrence of the triggering event;
- determining, in response to detecting the occurrence of the triggering event in the meeting that the user is virtually attending, based on one or more rules, whether to send a high-level notification to the user;
- capturing, in response to determining that the user should be sent the high-level notification, a portion of the meeting, wherein the portion of the virtually attended meeting comprises a predetermined amount of time surrounding the triggering event;
- and
- sending, to a device associated with the user, the high-level notification, wherein the high-level notification comprises the portion of the meeting,
- wherein detecting the occurrence of the triggering event comprises detecting one or more keywords, and wherein the one or more rules indicate to send the user a low-level notification upon detecting only a first utterance of the one or more keywords and the high-level notification upon detecting a second utterance of the one or more keywords within a predefined amount of time from the first utterance.
A method for participating in a meeting, the method comprising:
- determining that a first user is virtually attending a meeting;
- monitoring the meeting for a triggering event;
- detecting an occurrence of the triggering event;
- determining, in response to detecting the triggering event in the meeting that the first user is virtually attending, based on one or more rules, whether to send a high-level notification to the first user;
- capturing, in response to determining that the high-level notification should not be sent to the first user, a portion of the meeting, wherein the portion of the meeting comprises a predetermined amount of time surrounding the triggering event;
- and
- sending, to a device associated with a second user, a message comprising the portion of the meeting,
- wherein detecting the occurrence of the triggering event comprises detecting one or more keywords, and wherein the one or more rules indicate to send the user a low-level notification upon detecting only a first utterance of the one or more keywords and the high-level notification upon detecting a second utterance of the one or more keywords within a predefined amount of time from the first utterance.
