- The patent application describes technology that can determine if a user is passively attending a meeting through a connected device. - It collects data generated during the meeting and provides information based on this data for the user to monitor the meeting. - Join criteria can be set for passive meeting attendees, and if the collected meeting data meets these criteria, the attendee can become an active attendee. - Keyword data is used to represent information relevant to meeting attendees. - Based on the collected and monitored meeting data, as well as the keyword data, the technology can determine if the meeting has reached a certain level of relevance or pertinence. - If the meeting is deemed relevant, the user can be transitioned from a passive attendee to an active attendee. - A transition period may be provided to allow the user to catch up on previous meeting information before becoming an active attendee.
Original Abstract Submitted
The technology described herein is generally directed towards determining that a user is passively attending a meeting via a connected device, collecting data created during the meeting, and outputting information based on the collected data for the user to monitor the meeting. Join criteria can be associated with passive meeting attendee, and if the collected meeting data satisfies the join criteria, the attendee can transition to an active attendee. Keyword data can be used to represent information relevant to a meeting attendee. Based on collected and monitored meeting data presented during the meeting and the keyword data, the meeting can be determined to have reached a relevance/pertinence level by which action is taken to change the user from a passive attendee to an active attendee. This can include a transition period that allows a user to catch up on previous meeting information before becoming an active attendee.
