Transmitting A Message To One Or More Participant Devices During A Conference - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972938 titled 'Transmitting A Message To One Or More Participant Devices During A Conference

The abstract describes a system that allows a computing device not connected to a conference to send a message to participant devices in the conference, after authenticating the device's credentials. The system may also use speech synthesis software to generate machine-generated speech based on the message.

  • System enables communication between a computing device and participant devices in a conference.
  • Authentication of device credentials determines permission for message transmission.
  • Speech synthesis software used to create machine-generated speech during the conference.
  • Spoken voice model of the user may be generated using recorded voice samples.

Potential Applications: - Remote participation in conferences - Real-time communication with conference participants - Enhanced accessibility for users with speech impairments

Problems Solved: - Facilitates communication between remote devices and conference participants - Improves inclusivity by providing speech synthesis for users with speech impairments

Benefits: - Increased participation and engagement in conferences - Enhanced accessibility for users with disabilities - Efficient and effective communication in real-time settings

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Remote Communication in Conferences with Speech Synthesis Technology" This technology can be used in virtual conferences, online meetings, and remote collaboration platforms to improve communication and accessibility for all participants.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system authenticate the credentials of the computing device? 2. What are the potential limitations of using speech synthesis software for generating machine-generated speech in real-time communication settings?


Original Abstract Submitted

A system may receive, from a computing device that is not connected to a conference to which one or more participant devices are connected, a message including text entered by a user of the computing device. The system may determine a permission for enabling communications between the computing device and the one or more participant devices by authenticating a credential associated with the computing device. The system may transmit, based on the permission, the message to the one or more participant devices during the conference. In some implementations, the system may invoke speech synthesis software during the conference to produce machine-generated speech representative of the message. The speech synthesis software may use a spoken voice model of the user, generated using recorded voice samples of the user, to produce the machine-generated speech.
