Location-Based Conference Room Recommendation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211891 titled 'Location-Based Conference Room Recommendation
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where a server, during a conference using conferencing software, detects that users are accessing the software from separate devices in different areas of an office. The server then checks office scheduling data to find an available conference room for the users. It prompts the users to continue the conference in the conference room using a shared device.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Server determines users' locations and suggests moving to a shared device in a conference room.
- Utilizes stored data to identify available conference rooms within the office premises.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various office settings where users need to transition from individual devices to a shared environment for collaborative work.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of coordinating users in different locations within an office to facilitate more effective communication and collaboration during conferences.
Benefits:
- Enhances collaboration among users by recommending a shared conference room environment.
- Optimizes the use of office resources by suggesting available conference rooms for meetings.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include office conferencing solutions, remote team collaboration tools, and office space utilization optimization software.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing conferencing software solutions and office scheduling systems that aim to improve communication and collaboration among users.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to enhance the user experience in shared conference room environments and improve the efficiency of transitioning between individual and shared devices during conferences.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the server determine the locations of users within the office premises? 2. What security measures are in place to protect the data shared during conferences in the shared conference room environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
a server determines, during a conference implemented using conferencing software and based on stored data associated with two or more users participating in the conference, that the two or more users are accessing the conferencing software from separate user devices located in separate areas of an office premises. the server determines, by accessing stored conference room scheduling data of the office premises, that a conference room within the office premises is available for use by the two or more users. the server transmits, to each of the separate user devices, a prompt recommending that the two or more users further participate in the conference using a shared device configured to access the conferencing software within the conference room.
