PERSONALIZED ADAPTIVE MEETING PLAYBACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931176 titled 'PERSONALIZED ADAPTIVE MEETING PLAYBACK

Simplified Explanation

The technology disclosed in this patent application involves determining an adaptive playback speed for a segment of a meeting recording based on user-specific data, and generating a time-stretched segment playable at this adaptive speed. This allows for a personalized playback experience that is faster or slower than the default speed of the recording, improving user experience and potentially reducing the need for manual editing or rewinding.

  • Technologies for programmatically determining user-specific adaptive playback speeds
  • Generating time-stretched segments based on the adaptive playback speeds
  • Utilizing playback data features derived from user-meeting data
  • Creating updated meeting recordings playable at adaptive speeds
  • Reducing bandwidth associated with manual video editing or rewinding

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video conferencing platforms, online education systems, and any other applications where recorded meetings or presentations are accessed by users who may benefit from personalized playback speeds.

Problems Solved

- Inefficient manual editing or rewinding of meeting recordings - Bandwidth constraints associated with video playback - Lack of personalized playback options in standard video players

Benefits

- Improved user experience with personalized playback speeds - Potential reduction in bandwidth usage - Enhanced efficiency in accessing and reviewing meeting recordings

Potential Commercial Applications

"Personalized Adaptive Playback Speed Technology for Meeting Recordings" could be utilized in video conferencing software, online learning platforms, and corporate training systems to enhance user experience and streamline the playback process.

Possible Prior Art

One potential prior art could be the use of variable playback speeds in media players or video editing software, but the specific application of determining adaptive speeds based on user-meeting data may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle privacy concerns related to user-specific data collection for determining adaptive playback speeds?

The patent application does not address the specific methods or protocols in place to ensure the privacy and security of user-meeting data used to determine adaptive playback speeds.

What are the potential limitations or drawbacks of time-stretching segments of meeting recordings to match adaptive playback speeds?

The patent application does not discuss any potential artifacts or distortions that may arise from time-stretching segments of meeting recordings, which could impact the overall quality of the playback experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Technology is disclosed for programmatically determining, for a segment of a meeting recording, a user-specific adaptive playback speed, and generating a time-stretched segment playable at the adaptive playback speed. The adaptive playback speed is faster or slower than a default playback speed of the meeting recording. To determine the adaptive playback speed, this disclosure provides technologies to determine a playback data feature based on user-meeting data. The adaptive playback is generated based on the playback data feature. The segment is time-stretched to the adaptive playback speed to generate an updated meeting recording including the segment that is time-stretched and playable at the adaptive playback speed. In this manner, an updated meeting recording, specific to a user, and playable at an adaptive playback speed based on user-meeting data may reduce bandwidth associated with user's manually editing videos or rewinding playback, while improving user experience.
