System and method for processing conference collaboration records

A telecommunications method, comprising:

• storing a plurality of recording cues, said recording cues adapted for marking a predetermined time period around which a portion of a multimedia conference is to be recorded;
• capturing sequentially portions of said multimedia conference responsive to execution of said plurality of recording cues;
• and
• assigning an adjustable relevance probability weighted in association with identities of parties.

A telecommunications system, comprising:

• a local area network (LAN);
• a multimedia server operably coupled to said network, said multimedia server adapted to manage a multimedia conference and including a memory for storing selectable portions of said multimedia conference;
• one or more client devices operably coupled to said LAN and adapted to set recording cues for choosing said portions of said multimedia conference for playback;
• and
• wherein said one or more client devices comprise parties to the multimedia conference and are adapted to set relevance probabilities for recognized recording cues;
• wherein the multimedia server is configured to assign an adjustable relevance probability, wherein said adjustable relevance probability can be weighted based on a party's identity.

• and
• wherein said one or more client devices are adapted to set relevance probabilities for recognized recording cues;
• wherein said multimedia server is adapted to average relevance probability scores set by multiple users.

A telecommunications server, comprising:

• a multimedia communication controller for interfacing multimedia conferences;
• and
• a collaboration controller operably coupled to said multimedia communication controller, said collaboration controller adapted to store a multimedia conference and play back selected portions of said multimedia conference according to user selected criteria based on recording cues;
• wherein said collaboration controller is adapted to play back said portions based on a weighting of user-adjustable relevance probabilities of said recording cues, said users comprising parties to the conference;
• wherein said collaboration controller is configured to save conference summary portions based on an average of relevance probabilities.

• storing a plurality of recording cues, said recording cues adapted for marking a predetermined time period around which a portion of a multimedia conference is to be recorded;
• capturing sequentially portions of said multimedia conference responsive to execution of said plurality of recording cues;
• and
• assigning an adjustable relevance probability when said capturing occurs;
• wherein said assigning comprises one or more users adjusting a probability in real-time during said multimedia conference;
• wherein said assigning comprises averaging a probability score set by one or more parties according to a weighting based on an identity of a user.
