Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between relevant and irrelevant events for the conference participant? 2. What types of devices are compatible with this system for analyzing participant focus?

Original Abstract Submitted

a conference participant is alerted as to an event during a conference responsive to a determination that a focus of the conference participant is other than on the conference. during the conference, an event associated with the conference participant is detected based on a real-time transcription of the conference. for example, the event may relate to a topic relevant to the conference participant or a request associated with a name of the conference participant. a determination is made that a focus of the conference participant is other than on the conference based on information associated with a device of the conference participant, such as input received from a camera associated with the device or a setting of an audio output device associated with the device. based on that determination and the detected event, output is presented to alert the conference participant as to the event.
