Abstract

Systems and methods for providing individualized meeting content to participants in online meetings. Participant preferences may be summarized and displayed for speakers to see and attempt to follow, thus increasing the likelihood that meetings will progress according to the preferences of their attendees. Participants may also have their individual meeting feeds tailored to their preferences, if those preferences can be met in real time, during the meeting. Participants may further receive individual recordings of the meetings afterward, for those preferences that cannot be met in real time. In this manner, meeting participants may experience personalized versions of meetings, tailored to their particular preferences. This may improve participant interest in, and engagement with, online meetings.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of generating personalized recordings, the method comprising:
retrieving meeting playback preferences of participants of a meeting;
using control circuitry, determining a set of meeting playback preferences, from the retrieved playback preferences, according to which meeting content with the meeting playback preferences cannot be generated in real time and played back during the meeting;
for each participant of the meeting, generating the meeting content for playback during the meeting without the retrieved playback preferences due to which meeting content cannot be generated in real time; and
for each participant of the meeting, automatically generating a recording of the meeting content for playback according to the set of meeting playback preferences.

2. The method of claim 1 :
wherein the set of meeting playback preferences is a first set of meeting playback preferences, the method further comprising determining a second set of meeting playback preferences according to which meeting content cannot be generated and played back during the meeting; and
wherein the generating the meeting content for playback during the meeting further comprises, for each participant of the meeting, generating the meeting content for playback during the meeting and according to the second set of meeting playback preferences.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the meeting playback preferences comprise one or more of a preferred language of the meeting, a preferred speech speed, or a preferred volume.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
from the retrieved meeting playback preferences, determining common meeting playback preferences of the participants of the meeting; and
transmitting the determined common meeting playback preferences to at least one of the meeting participants.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
from the retrieved meeting playback preferences, determining a presentation style recommendation; and
transmitting the determined presentation style recommendation to at least one of the participants of the meeting.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one of the participants of the meeting includes a presenter of the meeting.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the meeting content for display to the participants of the meeting.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transmitting further comprises transmitting the meeting content during the meeting, for display to the participants of the meeting.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating a recording of the meeting further comprises generating a separate recording of the meeting for each participant of the meeting, each separate recording generated according to the respective meeting playback preferences of the each participant.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automatically generating recording of the meeting content for first participant, from the participants of the meeting, may include a different set of meeting playback preferences than a second participant of the meeting.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting at least one of the set of meeting playback preferences values of at least one of the meeting participants to at least one other of the meeting participants.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one of the meeting participants comprises a presenter of the meeting.

13. A system for generating personalized recordings, the system comprising:
a storage device; and
control circuitry configured to:
retrieve meeting playback preferences of participants of a meeting;
determine a set of meeting playback preferences, from the retrieved playback preferences, according to which meeting content cannot be generated in real time and played back during the meeting;
for each participant of the meeting, generate the meeting content for playback during the meeting; and
for each participant of the meeting, automatically generate a recording of the meeting content for playback according to the set of meeting playback preferences.

14. The system of claim 13 :
wherein the set of meeting playback preferences is a first set of meeting playback preferences, the method further comprising determining a second set of meeting playback preferences according to which meeting content cannot be generated and played back during the meeting; and
wherein the generating the meeting content for playback during the meeting further comprises, for each participant of the meeting, generating the meeting content for playback during the meeting and according to the second set of meeting playback preferences.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the meeting playback preferences comprise one or more of a preferred language of the meeting, a preferred speech speed, or a preferred volume.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
from the retrieved meeting playback preferences, determine common meeting playback preferences of the participants of the meeting; and
transmit the determined common meeting playback preferences to at least one of the meeting participants.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
from the retrieved meeting playback preferences, determine a presentation style recommendation; and
transmit the determined presentation style recommendation to at least one of the participants of the meeting.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the at least one of the participants of the meeting includes a presenter of the meeting.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to transmit the meeting content for display to the participants of the meeting.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the transmitting further comprises transmitting the meeting content during the meeting, for display to the participants of the meeting.

21. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to transmit at least one of the set of meeting playback preferences values of at least one of the meeting participants to at least one other of the meeting participants.
