US 2004/0107270 A1 · Method and system for collaboration recording

Abstract

A collaboration archive recorder accepts information from plural media through a network and archives the information as a collaboration session having a temporal relationship between the stored media information for subsequent recreation of the collaboration. A media input interface accepts plural media types, such as audio, video, Web conferencing and application specific information, and provides the information to an archive engine for conversion to an archive format in which the information is related to each other by its presentation time during the collaboration. An archive output adapter presents all or selected portions of the collaboration session through a user interface that allows selection of archived information by content and the temporal relationship.
