GENERATING A SUMMARY OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN USERS FOR AN ADDITIONAL USER IN RESPONSE TO DETERMINING THE ADDITIONAL USER IS JOINING THE CONVERSATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240297863 titled 'GENERATING A SUMMARY OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN USERS FOR AN ADDITIONAL USER IN RESPONSE TO DETERMINING THE ADDITIONAL USER IS JOINING THE CONVERSATION

Simplified Explanation:

The communication system monitors conversations between users in an environment and provides summaries to users based on certain conditions being met.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Active monitoring of conversations in real-time.
  • Customization of summaries based on user preferences.
  • Ability to present summaries in audio or text format.
  • Overlaying historical audio over current audio at faster speed and higher volume.
  • Stopping historical audio once it reaches real-time.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various industries such as:

  • Security and surveillance.
  • Customer service and support.
  • Educational settings for note-taking.
  • Meeting transcription and summary generation.

Problems Solved:

  • Providing users with quick summaries of conversations.
  • Allowing users to catch up on missed information.
  • Enhancing accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience in following conversations.
  • Increased efficiency in information retrieval.
  • Enhanced accessibility for a wider range of users.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include:

  • Integration into smart home devices for real-time updates.
  • Incorporation into conference call systems for meeting summaries.
  • Development of specialized software for transcription services.

Prior Art: Readers interested in exploring prior art related to this technology can start by researching communication systems, real-time transcription technologies, and audio summarization methods.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in real-time audio processing, user preference analysis for content customization, and applications of audio overlays in communication systems.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine the threshold conditions for providing summaries? 2. What are the privacy implications of actively monitoring conversations in an environment?

2. How does the system ensure accuracy in summarizing conversations? 4. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale? 5. How can users control the level of detail in the summaries they receive?


Original Abstract Submitted

a communication system actively monitors a conversation between users in an environment. once a threshold condition occurs (e.g., client device within a threshold distance of a room where the conversation is occurring, the user enters a chatroom via the client device), the client device receives a summary from the communication system. the communication system may customize the summary in accordance with user preferences. user preferences may include level of detail in summary or time range associated with summary. the client device then presents the summary to the user. the summary may be audio or text. in some embodiments, the summary may be historical audio that is overlaid over current audio at faster speed and higher volume, and stops once the historical audio reaches real time.
