Abstract

Techniques to selectively access meeting content are described. An apparatus may comprise a capture module operative to record multiple data tracks from multiple sources for a multimedia event, a publishing module operative to publish the recorded multiple data tracks in a universal format, an authentication module operative to authenticate a client to access the published multiple data tracks, and a recordings management module operative to manage access to meeting content for one or more of the published multiple data tracks on a selective basis in response to client search and retrieval requests. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims (32)

1 . A method, comprising:

recording multiple data tracks from multiple sources for a multimedia event;

publishing the recorded multiple data tracks in a universal format;

authenticating a client to access the published multiple data tracks; and

accessing meeting content for one or more of the published multiple data tracks on a selective basis in response to client search requests and client retrieval requests.

2 . The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving a client search request with search parameters to search for meeting content and associated metadata for one or more of the published multiple data tracks matching the search parameters.

3 . The method of claim 1 , comprising searching a recording database for meeting content and associated metadata for one or more of the published multiple data tracks matching search parameters from a client search request.

4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising displaying a list of published multiple data tracks with meeting content and associated metadata matching search parameters from a client search request.

5 . The method of claim 1 , comprising selecting one or more of the published multiple data tracks for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks.

6 . The method of claim 1 , comprising selecting one or more of the published multiple data tracks for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks, and a detected bandwidth for a communication channel.

7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising retrieving one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks.

8 . The method of claim 1 , comprising retrieving one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on a meeting content type index used to index the published multiple data tracks.

9 . The method of claim 1 , comprising retrieving portions of one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks.

10 . The method of claim 1 , comprising generating a composite media signal having selected published multiple data tracks forming a subset of the published multiple data tracks for the multimedia event.

11 . An article comprising a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to:

record multiple data tracks from multiple sources for a multimedia event;

publish the recorded multiple data tracks in a universal format;

authenticate a client to access the published multiple data tracks; and

access meeting content for one or more of the published multiple data tracks on a selective basis in response to client search and retrieval requests.

12 . The article of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that if executed enable the system to search a recording database for meeting content and associated metadata for one or more of the published multiple data tracks matching search parameters from a client search request.

13 . The article of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that if executed enable the system to retrieve one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks.

14 . The article of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that if executed enable the system to retrieve one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks, and detected bandwidth for a communication connection.

15 . The article of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that if executed enable the system to generate a composite media signal having selected published multiple data tracks forming a subset of the published multiple data tracks for the multimedia event.

16 . An apparatus, comprising:

a capture module operative to record multiple data tracks from multiple sources for a multimedia event;

a publishing module operative to publish the recorded multiple data tracks in a universal format;

an authentication module operative to authenticate a client to access the published multiple data tracks; and

a recordings management module operative to manage access to meeting content for one or more of the published multiple data tracks on a selective basis in response to client search and retrieval requests.

17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , the recordings management module operative to search a recording database for meeting content and associated metadata for one or more of the published multiple data tracks matching search parameters from a client search request.

18 . The apparatus of claim 16 , the recordings management module operative to retrieve one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks.

19 . The apparatus of claim 16 , the recordings management module operative to retrieve one or more of the published multiple data tracks selected for replay based on one or more indices and a master timeline used to index the published multiple data tracks, and detected bandwidth for a communication connection.

20 . The apparatus of claim 16 , the recordings management module operative to generate a composite media signal having selected published multiple data tracks forming a subset of the published multiple data tracks for the multimedia event.
