Method and System for Annotating and Organizing Asynchronous Communication Within a Group - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249069 titled 'Method and System for Annotating and Organizing Asynchronous Communication Within a Group
The abstract describes an asynchronous communications system that allows selected users to generate and distribute new content based on received communications. The system includes a server for maintaining various types of communicated content, such as video communications, synchronized transcripts, distribution lists, and annotations. Users can access this content through an interactive graphical user interface on their devices, which includes a video region, a transcript region, and an interactive menu for creating annotations.
- Server for maintaining asynchronous communicated content
- Interactive graphical user interface for users to access and interact with the content
- Various types of communicated content, including video communications, synchronized transcripts, distribution lists, and annotations
- Ability for users to generate and distribute new content based on received communications
- Annotations can be created by highlighting text excerpts from the synchronized transcript and selecting annotation options
Potential Applications: - Collaborative content creation and distribution - Remote learning and training - Team communication and collaboration
Problems Solved: - Facilitates efficient communication and content sharing among selected users - Enhances user engagement and interaction with communicated content - Simplifies the process of creating and distributing new content based on received communications
Benefits: - Improved collaboration and knowledge sharing - Enhanced user experience with interactive content - Increased productivity and creativity in content creation
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Collaborative Communication System for Content Creation" This technology can be used in various industries such as education, corporate training, and remote team collaboration. It offers a unique way for users to interact with communicated content and create new content based on received information, leading to more effective communication and collaboration.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure the security and privacy of the communicated content? 2. Can users collaborate in real-time on creating new content within the system?
Original Abstract Submitted
in one implementation, an asynchronous communications system for distributing communications among selected users whereby those users can generate and distribute new content based upon received communications may include a server for maintaining a plurality of asynchronous communicated content. the communicated content includes a video communication, a transcript synchronized to at least a part of an audio track of the video communication, a distribution list of recipients of the communicated content, and any annotations made to the communicated content. the system further includes an interactive graphical user interface operable on a device of a user. the device is in communication with the server to access communicated content received by the user. the graphical user interface includes a video region for playing a video communication of communicated content, a transcript region for displaying at least a part of the transcript synchronized to an audio track of the video communication, and an interactive menu having annotation options for the user to select that is responsive to the user (i) highlighting a text excerpt from the synchronized transcript, (ii) selecting at least one of the asynchronous annotation options, and (iii) generating an annotation to be associated with the highlighted text excerpt.
