Abstract: An automated system and method for broadcasting meetings over a computer network. The meeting is filmed using an omni-directional camera system and capable of being presented to a viewer both live and on-demand. The system of the present invention includes an automated camera management system for controlling the camera system and an analysis module determining the location of meeting participants in the meeting environments. The method of the present invention includes using the system of the present invention to broadcast an event to a viewer over a computer network. In particular, the method includes filming the event using an omni-directional camera system. Next, the method determines the location of each event participant in the event environment. Finally, a viewer is provided with a user interface for viewing the broadcast event. This user interface allows a viewer to choose which event participant that the viewer would like to view.

Abstract: In a networked client/server system, media content as well as annotations corresponding to the media content can be transmitted from a server(s) to a client. A user interface is presented to the user to facilitate creating new annotations and viewing annotations. According to one embodiment, the client further assists the user in identifying a temporal range of the media content to which the new annotation is to correspond.

Abstract: Meeting attendees can have the resources available to participate in an efficient meeting regardless of where the attendees are located (e.g., across from each other or thousands of miles apart). Information can be gathered that relates to the attendees, the subject matter of the meeting or other information. In addition, relationships between attendees, if any, can be determined and displayed to the attendees to show the interrelatedness of the group. Various aspects during the meeting can also be observed and analyzed to allow the attendees to become more aware of the dynamics between individuals as well as the entire team.

Abstract: As incoming communications are received, a priority or significance level can be assigned to each communication. A communication determined to have a high priority can be presented to a user at substantially the same time as receiving the communication. A communication having a low priority can be placed in a low priority folder or flagged differently from a high priority communication (e.g., different color-coding). Behavior of a user as it relates to a received communication can be observed for learning purposes or to modify one or more classifications or priority levels.

Abstract translation: 当接收到进入的通信时，可以为每个通信分配优先级或重要性级别。 在接收到通信的基本上相同的时间，可以向用户呈现被确定为具有高优先级的通信。 具有低优先级的通信可以放置在低优先级文件夹中或与高优先级通信（例如，不同的颜色编码）不同的标记。 为了学习目的或为了修改一个或多个分类或优先级，可以观察用户与所接收的通信有关的行为。

Abstract: Architecture for completing search queries by using artificial intelligence based schemes to infer search intentions of users. Partial queries are completed dynamically in real time. Additionally, search aliasing can also be employed. Custom tuning can be performed based on at least query inputs in the form of text, graffiti, images, handwriting, voice, audio, and video signals. Natural language processing occurs, along with handwriting recognition and slang recognition. The system includes a classifier that receives a partial query as input, accesses a query database based on contents of the query input, and infers an intended search goal from query information stored on the query database. A query formulation engine receives search information associated with the intended search goal and generates a completed formal query for execution.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates enhancing incoming data communication connectivity within a network. An analyzer component can evaluate a portion of an incoming data communication targeted for a network to identify a context associated with the data communication. A transfer component can direct the incoming data communication to a cluster within the network based at least in part upon the identified context, wherein the cluster includes a physical entity with pre-existing knowledge of the identified context.

Abstract: A system that incorporates a user context into a computer-based search is provided. To establish the context, the innovation can identify information about a user state or context via a variety of sources and sensors. The state/context information can be used to filter, arrange and/or rank search results so as to facilitate converging on meaningful searches and results. Machine learning systems (implicitly and/or explicitly trained) can be employed to infer a current and/or future context related to user. An identified or inferred user context can be employed to modify an automated or user-defined search input/query. Contextual cues can be considered directly in the construction and use of context of context-sensitive retrieval algorithms that are optimized for identifying and/or ranking of informational items of potential interest or value in different contexts. As well, the context can be employed to intelligently render results of a query (e.g., user/application defined, context-modified query).

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention provides a user interface for providing peripheral awareness of information to a user. The information to be provided is either determined automatically, or specified by the user. Once the information to be provided is determined or specified, it is automatically tracked or watched via at least one conventional communications interface. Current information is then automatically dynamically provided in an interactive peripheral display which minimizes any potential distraction to the user. Determining or specifying, tracking or watching, and providing the information is accomplished using at least one customizable dynamic encapsulated object, a “ticket,” that when paired with a “viewer,” provides peripheral awareness of information to the user. Further, in one embodiment, the tickets are sharable among users, and may be copied, cut, pasted, saved, transmitted, dragged and dropped from web pages, etc., like any other electronic file using conventional techniques.

Abstract: A system that captures both whiteboard content and audio signals of a meeting using a digital camera and a microphone. The system can be retrofit to any existing whiteboard. It computes the time stamps of pen strokes on the whiteboard by analyzing the sequence of captured snapshots. It also automatically produces a set of key frames representing all the written content on the whiteboard before each erasure. The whiteboard content serves as a visual index to efficiently browse the audio meeting. The system not only captures the whiteboard content, but also helps the users to view and manage the captured meeting content efficiently and securely.

Abstract translation: 使用数码相机和麦克风捕获会议的白板内容和音频信号的系统。 该系统可以改装任何现有的白板。 它通过分析捕获的快照的顺序来计算白板上笔划的时间戳。 它也会在每次擦除之前自动产生代表白板上所有写入内容的一组关键帧。 白板内容作为视觉索引，有效地浏览音频会议。 该系统不仅可以捕获白板内容，还可以帮助用户有效，安全地查看和管理所捕获的会议内容。
