Abstract

Systems and methods include generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event, generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising: a first option associated with one or more of conditional attendance and a portion of desired attendance; and a second option associated with one or more of a type of attendance; sending the invitation; receiving a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event;
generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising:
a first option enabling a user to selectively attend at least a portion of the event; and
a second option enabling the user to select a type of attendance based on a response to the first option, the type of attendance comprising one or more of receiving a live transcription of the event, receiving a post-event transcription, receiving a live recording, and receiving a post-event recording;

sending the invitation to the user;
receiving, from the user, a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and
based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first option enables the user to select one or more of a time range and a topic associated with the portion of the event.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions are performed during the event.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions comprise one or more of generating a live transcription and creating a recording of the event.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions comprise automatically editing one or more of a live transcription and a recording of the event.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a desired topic, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting a mention of the desired topic during the event; and
in response to the detection of the mention, sending a notification to the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a conditional acceptance based on attendance of a person other than the user, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event; and
in response to detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event, sending a follow-up invitation to the user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option comprising a desired topic and the selection associated with the second option comprising a request for a post-event transcription, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
generating a transcription during the event; and
after the event, automatically editing the transcription to remove portions of the transcription not relating to the desired topic.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option comprising a desired topic and the selection associated with the second option comprising a request for a live transcription, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting a mention of the desired topic during the event; and
in response to detecting the mention of the desired topic, generating a notification comprising a hyperlink directed to a location of a live transcription.

10. A computer system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:
generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event;
generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising:
a first option enabling a user to selectively attend at least a portion of the event; and
a second option enabling the user to select a type of attendance based on a response to the first option, the type of attendance comprising one or more of receiving a live transcription of the event, receiving a post-event transcription, receiving a live recording, and receiving a post-event recording;

sending the invitation to the user;
receiving, from the user, a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and
based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.

11. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the first option enables the user to select one or more of a time range and a topic associated with the portion of the event.

12. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more actions are performed during the event.

13. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more actions comprise one or more of generating a live transcription and creating a recording of the event.

14. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more actions comprise automatically editing one or more of a live transcription and a recording of the event.

15. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a desired topic, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting a mention of the desired topic during the event; and
in response to the detection of the mention, sending a notification to the user.

16. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a conditional acceptance based on attendance of a person other than the user, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event; and
in response to detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event, sending a follow-up invitation to the user.

17. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option comprising a desired topic and the selection associated with the second option comprising a request for a post-event transcription, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
generating a transcription during the event; and
after the event, automatically editing the transcription to remove portions of the transcription not relating to the desired topic.

18. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code configured, when executed by a processor of a first user device, to execute a method, the method comprising:
generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event;
generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising:
a first option enabling a user to selectively attend at least a portion of the event; and
a second option enabling the user to select a type of attendance based on a response to the first option, the type of attendance comprising one or more of receiving a live transcription of the event, receiving a post-event transcription, receiving a live recording, and receiving a post-event recording;

sending the invitation to the user;
receiving, from the user, a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and
based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the first option enables the user to select one or more of a time range and a topic associated with the portion of the e
