Abstract

A meeting summarization method, system, and computer program product, include capturing notes of a user including a time stamp from the user associated with a meeting, synchronizing an agenda of the meeting and the notes of the user based on a correlation between a time stamp of a topic on the agenda and a time stamp of the notes of the user, and analyzing the synchronized topic and the notes to determine highlights of the meeting based on a co-occurrence of the time stamp of the notes of the user and the time stamp of the topic on the agenda.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented meeting summarization method, the method comprising:
capturing notes, via a link with a note-taking device, including a time stamp associated with a meeting; and
labeling highlights of the meeting based on a co-occurrence of the time stamp of the notes and the time stamp of a topic within an agenda of the meeting regardless of a current time in the meeting.

2. A computer program product for meeting summarization, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform:
capturing notes, via a link with a note-taking device, including a time stamp associated with a meeting; and
labeling highlights of the meeting based on a co-occurrence of the time stamp of the notes and the time stamp of a topic within an agenda of the meeting regardless of a current time in the meeting.

3. A meeting summarization system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to:
capturing notes, via a link between a hub and a note-taking device, including a time stamp associated with a meeting; and
labeling highlights of the meeting based on a co-occurrence of the time stamp of the notes and the time stamp of a topic within an agenda of the meeting regardless of a current time in the meeting.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising creating a summary of the highlights of the meeting by aggregating the co-occurring notes.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the highlights are determined according only to a match of the time stamp of the co-occurrence of notes.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising aligning each of the highlights of the meeting with a topic of a meeting agenda.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a concept associated with each of the highlights from processing the recorded audio to create a summary of the meeting based on concepts,
wherein the concepts are identified based on an analysis of an overlapping content during the meeting.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the co-occurrence is determined based on at least two of the plurality of users taking notes at a same time stamp.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , embodied in a cloud-computing environment.
