EVENT EXPERIENCE REPRESENTATION USING TENSILE SPHERE MIXING AND MERGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17548814 titled 'EVENT EXPERIENCE REPRESENTATION USING TENSILE SPHERE MIXING AND MERGING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for providing event recommendations to attendees of a virtual event. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves presenting a virtual event user interface to an attendee.
  • Data about the attendee's actions within the virtual event is obtained.
  • A "tensile sphere kernel" specific to the attendee is created using the obtained data.
  • A mixed tensile sphere kernel is created by combining the attendee's kernel with another attendee's kernel.
  • An event recommendation for the virtual event is determined using the mixed tensile sphere kernel.
  • The event recommendation is presented to the attendee by changing the virtual event user interface.

Potential Applications

  • Virtual event platforms: This technology can be applied to virtual event platforms to provide personalized event recommendations to attendees, enhancing their experience and engagement.
  • Online conferences and trade shows: The method can be used in online conferences and trade shows to suggest relevant sessions, exhibitors, or networking opportunities to attendees based on their actions and interests.
  • Webinars and workshops: It can be utilized in webinars and workshops to recommend related content or resources to participants, helping them explore topics of interest further.

Problems Solved

  • Lack of personalized recommendations: The method solves the problem of attendees being overwhelmed by the vast amount of content available in virtual events by providing tailored event recommendations based on their actions and preferences.
  • Low attendee engagement: By suggesting relevant sessions, exhibitors, or networking opportunities, the technology increases attendee engagement and participation in virtual events.

Benefits

  • Enhanced attendee experience: Attendees receive personalized event recommendations, making it easier for them to discover relevant content and engage with the virtual event.
  • Increased attendee engagement: By suggesting activities aligned with attendees' interests, the method encourages active participation and exploration, leading to higher engagement levels.
  • Improved event outcomes: By guiding attendees towards relevant sessions or exhibitors, the technology can help event organizers achieve their goals, such as knowledge sharing, lead generation, or networking.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method includes: presenting, by a computing device, a virtual event user interface to an attendee of a virtual event; obtaining, by the computing device, data about actions performed by the attendee within the virtual event; creating, by the computing device, a tensile sphere kernel that is specific to the attendee using the obtained data; creating, by the computing device, a mixed tensile sphere kernel using the tensile sphere kernel that is specific to the attendee and another tensile sphere kernel of another attendee; determining, by the computing device, an event recommendation of the virtual event using the mixed tensile sphere kernel; and presenting, by the computing device, the event recommendation to the attendee by changing the virtual event user interface to show the event recommendation.
