Transmitting A Message To One Or More Participant Devices During A Conference - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233705 titled 'Transmitting A Message To One Or More Participant Devices During A Conference
The abstract describes a system that allows a computing device not connected to a conference to send a message to participant devices during the conference.
- The system authenticates the computing device's credential to determine permission for communication with participant devices.
- Messages entered by the user of the computing device are transmitted to participant devices based on the permission.
- Speech synthesis software may be used during the conference to generate machine-generated speech from the message.
- The software can create machine-generated speech using a spoken voice model of the user, generated from recorded voice samples.
Potential Applications: - Remote participation in conferences - Real-time communication with conference participants - Accessibility features for users with speech impairments
Problems Solved: - Facilitating communication between remote devices and conference participants - Enhancing user experience during conferences - Providing speech synthesis for users with speech impairments
Benefits: - Improved accessibility for all users - Seamless integration of remote devices into conferences - Enhanced user engagement and interaction during conferences
Commercial Applications: - Conference call systems - Virtual meeting platforms - Speech synthesis software for communication devices
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system authenticate the computing device's credential? 2. What are the potential limitations of using speech synthesis software during conferences?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing developments in speech synthesis technology - Advances in remote communication systems for conferences
Original Abstract Submitted
a system may receive, from a computing device that is not connected to a conference to which one or more participant devices are connected, a message including text entered by a user of the computing device. the system may determine a permission for enabling communications between the computing device and the one or more participant devices by authenticating a credential associated with the computing device. the system may transmit, based on the permission, the message to the one or more participant devices during the conference. in some implementations, the system may invoke speech synthesis software during the conference to produce machine-generated speech representative of the message. the speech synthesis software may use a spoken voice model of the user, generated using recorded voice samples of the user, to produce the machine-generated speech.
