Auto-Generated Object For Impromptu Collaboration - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18154514 titled 'Auto-Generated Object For Impromptu Collaboration
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a collaboration object that allows users to collaborate before, during, and after a meeting. This object links all the content generated during these stages in one place and enables multi-user interaction and synchronization across applications. Here are the key points:
- The collaboration object facilitates dynamic collaboration before, during, and after a meeting.
- It eliminates the need for multiple exchanges of content and messages between users.
- It prevents inefficient and unproductive collaboration by providing a centralized location for all meeting-related content.
- The collaboration object allows for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of content across different applications.
- It can be accessed from various application platforms, enabling real-time editing and collaboration.
- The collaboration object enhances the overall meeting experience and improves collaboration efficiency.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Business meetings: The collaboration object can be used to streamline collaboration and content sharing during business meetings, making them more productive.
- Virtual meetings: In virtual meetings, the collaboration object can help users collaborate effectively by providing a centralized location for content and enabling real-time editing.
- Team collaboration: The collaboration object can be used by teams to collaborate on projects, share ideas, and track progress before, during, and after meetings.
- Educational settings: Teachers and students can use the collaboration object to collaborate on assignments, share resources, and discuss topics before, during, and after class.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient collaboration: The collaboration object eliminates the need for multiple exchanges of content and messages, making collaboration more efficient.
- Disorganized content: By linking all meeting-related content in one place, the collaboration object prevents content from being scattered across different platforms and applications.
- Lack of real-time collaboration: The collaboration object enables concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization, allowing for real-time collaboration and editing.
- Difficulty in tracking meeting-related content: Users can easily find and access all meeting-related content in the collaboration object, making it easier to track progress and refer back to previous discussions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved collaboration efficiency: The collaboration object streamlines collaboration by providing a centralized location for all meeting-related content and enabling real-time editing.
- Enhanced meeting experience: Users can collaborate effectively before, during, and after meetings, leading to more productive and engaging meetings.
- Easy access and organization of content: The collaboration object eliminates the need to search for scattered content by linking everything in one place, making it easy to find and access.
- Real-time collaboration: Users can collaborate concurrently and see changes in real-time, promoting effective communication and collaboration.
Original Abstract Submitted
Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.
