APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CONVERSATIONAL ASSISTANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012839 titled 'APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CONVERSATIONAL ASSISTANCE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a conversation support system that helps a user actively participate in an ongoing conversation. The system receives a conversation map consisting of audio segments associated with different conversation participants. It determines the subject matter of the current conversation portion based on the dialogue and selects relevant conversation support information. This information is then presented to the user through a conversation queue output device.

  • The conversation support system assists users in actively participating in ongoing conversations.
  • It receives a conversation map with audio segments associated with different conversation participants.
  • The system determines the subject matter of the current conversation portion based on the dialogue.
  • It selects conversation support information relevant to the current conversation subject.
  • A conversation queue is generated, containing the selected conversation support information.
  • The conversation queue is communicated to a conversation queue output device.
  • The conversation queue output device presents the conversation support information to the user.

Potential Applications:

  • Enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments.
  • Assisting language learners in understanding and participating in conversations.
  • Supporting individuals with cognitive disabilities in following and engaging in conversations.
  • Improving accessibility for individuals in noisy or crowded environments.

Problems Solved:

  • Difficulty in actively participating in conversations due to various factors.
  • Challenges in understanding and following ongoing conversations.
  • Limited access to relevant information during conversations.
  • Communication barriers for individuals with hearing impairments or cognitive disabilities.

Benefits:

  • Enables individuals to actively participate in conversations and feel more included.
  • Enhances communication and understanding for individuals with hearing impairments or language barriers.
  • Provides real-time access to relevant information during conversations.
  • Improves accessibility and inclusivity in various social and professional settings.


Original Abstract Submitted

conversation support systems and methods are operable to assist a user to more fully participate in an ongoing conversation. an exemplary embodiment receives a conversation map comprising a serially arranged plurality of conversation segments of audio information each associated with one of a plurality of conversation participants, and that includes dialogue of the ongoing conversation being spoken by the associated conversation participant; determining subject matter of a current portion of the ongoing conversation based on the dialogue; selects conversation support information that pertains to the current conversation subject; and generating a conversation queue that includes information that corresponds to the selected conversation support information, wherein the conversation queue is communicated from the conversational support system to at least one conversation queue output device that presents the conversation support information to the user.
