Abstract
A method is provided in one example and includes identifying a particular word recited by an active speaker in a conference involving a plurality of endpoints in a network environment; evaluating a profile associated with the active speaker in order to identify contextual information associated with the particular word; and providing augmented data associated with the particular word to at least some of the plurality of endpoints. In more specific examples, the active speaker is identified using a facial detection protocol, or a speech recognition protocol. Data from the active speaker can be converted from speech to text.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- Identifying, by a media engine, a particular word recited by an active speaker in a conference involving a plurality of endpoints in a network environment;
- evaluating, by the media engine, a profile associated with the active speaker in order to identify contextual information associated with the particular word;
- determining, by the media engine, augmented data associated with the particular word based on the contextual information identified from the profile associated with the active speaker;
- providing, by the media engine, the augmented data associated with the particular word to at least some of the plurality of endpoints.
Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor is operable to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a particular word recited by an active speaker in a conference involving a plurality of endpoints in a network environment;
- evaluating a profile associated with the active speaker in order to identify contextual information associated with the particular word;
- determining augmented data associated with the particular word based on the contextual information identified from the profile associated with the active speaker;
- providing augmented data associated with the particular word to at least some of the plurality of endpoints.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory element configured to store data;
- a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the data;
- a media engine configured to interface with the memory element and the processor such that the apparatus is configured for:
- identifying a particular word recited by an active speaker in a conference involving a plurality of endpoints in a network environment;
- evaluating a profile associated with the active speaker in order to identify contextual information associated with the particular word;
- determining augmented data associated with the particular word based on the contextual information identified from the profile associated with the active speaker;
- and
- providing augmented data associated with the particular word to at least some of the plurality of endpoints.
