Abstract:
A technique provides an electronic summary of source content. The technique involves performing, on the source content, a content recognition operation to electronically generate text output from the source content. The technique further involves electronically evaluating text portions of the text output based on predefined usability criteria to produce a respective set of usability properties for each text portion of the text output. The technique further involves providing, as the electronic summary of the source content, summarization output which summarizes the source content. The summarization output includes a particular text portion of the text output which is selected from the text portions of the text output based on the respective set of usability properties for each text portion of the text output.
Abstract:
A technique manages notes pertaining to a document during an online meeting. The technique involves, while displaying contents of the document to participants of the online meeting, accessing, by processing circuitry, public notes and private notes pertaining to the contents of the document, the public notes and the private notes having been provided by a particular participant. The technique further involves sharing, by the processing circuitry, the public notes with other participants of the online meeting. The technique further involves concealing, by the processing circuitry, the private notes from the other participants of the online meeting.
Abstract:
Improved techniques of identifying when a device needs of service involve using data analytics to determine conditions when a device administrator of a computerized device is to be sent an alert regarding that device. Along these lines, a device monitoring system receives state data from a device that indicates the device is in a particular state, e.g., running certain applications, using some percentage of the processor and memory capacity, etc. The device monitoring system maps the device state data to a decision of whether or not to send a device administrator an alert concerning the device. The decision itself is a result of applying a model to the state data that is derived from the application of data analytics on historical device state data and administrator login data.
Abstract:
A computer system executing a computer audio application such as video conferencing applies audio detection and speech recognition to an input audio stream to generate respective audio detection and speech recognition signals. A function is applied to the audio detection and speech recognition signals to generate a non-speech audio detection signal identifying presence of non-speech audio in the input audio stream when the audio detection signal is asserted and the speech recognition signal is not asserted. A control or indication action is performed in the computer system based on assertion of the non-speech audio detection signal.

Abstract:
A technique provides a sync notification to indicate when a shared screen view of a presenter device has been delivered to an audience. The technique involves generating a sync time estimation based on communications with a set of audience devices, and detecting occurrence of an update to the shared screen view of the presenter device. The technique further involves outputting, after the sync time estimation has elapsed since the detected occurrence of the update, the sync notification on the presenter device to indicate when the shared screen view of the presenter device has been delivered to the audience. Such a technique is well suited for a variety of online collaboration systems such as online conference systems, online webinar systems, online meeting systems, and so on.
Abstract:
A technique smartly displays video feeds during an online meeting. The technique involves receiving, by processing circuitry, a plurality of video feeds during the online meeting. The technique further involves selecting, by the processing circuitry, a group of video feeds from the plurality of video feeds during the online meeting. The number of video feeds in the group of video feeds is less than the number of video feeds in the plurality of video feeds. Additionally, the number of video feeds in the group is at least two. The technique further involves outputting, by the processing circuitry, the group of video feeds to an online meeting participant during the online meeting. Such a technique enables the number of participants of the online meeting to be essentially unlimited, where only the video feeds deemed most significant (e.g., based on scoring) are shared during the online meeting.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented technique provides electronic text recommendations to a user. The technique involves capturing content from a conference among multiple participants. The technique further involves receiving electronic typing input from the user while the user is typing to document the conference. The technique further involves outputting, in response to the electronic typing input from the user, electronic text recommendations to the user based on the captured content. Such recommendations can take the form of predictive typing for taking notes based on content shared during an online meeting. The words and/or phrases in the predictive typing may be derived from the words spoken and/or from visual data displayed during the conference. Accordingly, a user is able to document what is discussed with minimal typing and thus reduced distraction. Furthermore, the information that is documented can be made more on-point and less verbose than a lengthy transcription of an audio feed.
Abstract:
A technique provides, to a user, a set of diagram views of a diagram model stored in memory. The technique involves obtaining, by processing circuitry, electronic access to the diagram model stored in the memory. The diagram model includes a group of objects. Each object has a defined object size. The technique further involves, after obtaining electronic access to the diagram model stored in the memory, performing, by the processing circuitry, an object selection operation that selects an initial set of objects from the group of objects based on the defined object size of each object of the group of objects. The technique further involves, after performing the object selection operation, rendering, by the processing circuitry, an initial diagram view of the diagram model on an electronic display to the user, the initial diagram view including the initial set of objects.
Abstract:
Techniques of finding a meeting time involve recommending a meeting time based on attendee meeting history. Along these lines, a meeting scheduler accesses meeting logs that contain trends involving previous meetings to which attendees were invited. For example, such meeting logs may indicate whether an attendee accepted meeting invitations to meetings occurring at particular times during a workweek. Based on the accessed meeting logs, the meeting scheduler recommends a time at which to hold the meeting. For example, the meeting logs may indicate that an attendee declines invitations at certain times of the day, or that another attendee has flexibility during a time labeled as unavailable in the calendar. The meeting schedule then sends a message to the meeting organizer that contains the recommended time.
