Abstract

An information processing system includes one or more acquiring devices and an image forming apparatus. The acquiring devices acquire proceedings information indicating meeting content from a plurality of participants participating in a meeting. The image forming apparatus deletes unnecessary information that is unnecessary as transcript content from the proceedings information and generates transcript information indicating the transcript content. According to the information processing system, work of deleting the unnecessary information from the transcript decreases, and an amount of work for a worker can be mitigated.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing system, comprising:
one or more acquiring devices configured to acquire proceedings information indicating meeting content from a plurality of participants participating in a meeting; and a terminal device configured to delete unnecessary information that is unnecessary as transcript content from the proceedings information and generate transcript information indicating the transcript content.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the terminal device comprises:
a searching section configured to search for the unnecessary information from the proceedings information; and
a generating section configured to delete the unnecessary information from the proceedings information and generate the transcript information.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the acquiring devices comprises:
a recording section configured to record a voice of a participant; and
an imaging section configured to record a proceedings image indicating an image that records an environment in a field of view of the participant, and
the proceedings information includes the voice of the participant and the proceedings image.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein
the searching section searches for a voice of a participant of which volume is lower than a first threshold as the unnecessary information, based on the proceedings information of the participant among the plurality of participants aside from first participants, and the first participants include a presenter who describes presentation content in the meeting and a predetermined participant among the plurality of participants aside from the presenter.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the terminal device adjusts the first threshold based on excess or deficiency information indicating an excess or a deficiency of the transcript content.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein
the terminal device
specifies, for each of the proceedings images, a period in which the proceedings image indicates a specific image,
further specifies a number of the proceedings images indicating the specific image during periods that overlap in a time line of the meeting, and
specifies voice content of the participants during a period in which the periods in which the specific images are indicated overlap to be an emphasized portion when the number of the proceedings images is greater than a second threshold.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein
the terminal device adjusts the second threshold based on excess or deficiency information indicating an excess or a deficiency of the emphasized portion in the transcript content.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the terminal device is an image forming apparatus, and the image forming apparatus forms an image on a recording medium based on the transcript information.

9 . An information processing system, comprising:
one or more acquiring devices configured to acquire proceedings information indicating meeting content following a time line from a plurality of participants participating in a meeting; and a terminal device configured to specify question and answer content indicating content of a question and an answer between a questioner and a presenter among the plurality of participants from the proceedings information, wherein the terminal device generates transcript information indicating transcript content based on the question and answer content.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein
the terminal device comprises:
a generating section configured to generate character information based on the proceedings information; and
a searching section configured to search for the question and answer content based on the proceedings information and the character information.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein
each of the acquiring devices comprises:
a recording section configured to record a voice of a participant; and
an imaging section configured to record a proceedings image indicating an image that records an environment in a field of view of the participant, and
the searching section specifies a timing at which the questioner has begun to speak to be a question and answer beginning.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein
the character information indicates a plurality of character strings arranged to follow the time line, and the searching section searches for a specified character string indicating an end of the question and answer from the plurality of character strings to specify a question and answer ending.

13 . The image forming system according to claim 10 , wherein
the searching section specifies a timing at which a period in which the presenter continuously speaks exceeds a third threshold to be a question and answer ending.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein
the searching section specifies a timing at which a material used in the meeting by the presenter has changed to another material to be a question and answer ending.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein
the searching section specifies a timing at which a period in which the questioner is absent from the proceedings image of the presenter has exceeded a fourth threshold to be a question and answer ending.

16 . The information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein
the terminal device is an image forming apparatus, and the image forming apparatus forms an image exhibiting the transcript content on a recording medium based on the transcript information.
