US 9,791,942 B2 · Dynamic collaborative adjustable keyboard

Abstract

In dynamically adjusting a keyboard mapping, a collaborative session in which a participant device is involved is detected. A conversation between participants during the collaborative session is captured, and topics being discussed during the conversation are identified using textual analysis. The topics are compared with a plurality of rules, each of which associates a topic with a keyboard mapping. From the rule that has a topic matching the identified topics, the keyboard mapping associated with the topic is obtained. The keyboard is then displayed using the keyboard mapping on the participant device. In determining the rule with the matching topic, a history of rules applied in prior collaborative session where the same or similar topics were discussed, or a profile of a participant, is considered. In this manner, keyboard mappings are dynamically adjusted, allowing for easier access to relevant keys.

Dependent claims

A method for dynamically adjusting a keyboard mapping, implemented by a processor, comprising:

detecting a collaborative session in which a first participant at a first participant device and a second participant at a second participant device are involved;
identifying one or more topics being discussed during the collaborative session from a plurality of topics;
comparing, using a set of parameters including a user-defined priority of a respective participant, the one or more identified topics with topics stored in a plurality of rules, each of the plurality of rules associating a given topic with a given keyboard mapping;
determining using the set of parameters, that one or more given rules of the plurality of rules comprise the given topic matching the one or more identified topics;
obtaining the given keyboard mapping associated with the given topic that maps each of one or more individual symbols relevant to the given topic with a respective key on a keyboard;
and
displaying the keyboard, on a respective participant device using the given keyboard mapping.
