determining a level of interest based on an emotional response to the topic of interest, wherein the emotional response is estimated from a facial expression of the respondent.
7. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
storing notes from the video conference participants for the topic in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and
sending the notes for a first video conference participant to an end user device for a second video conference participant.
8. A computer readable medium comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer program instructions that when executed by a computer, performs functions that are useful notifying an end user of an event of interest, the computer program comprising:
instructions to detect increased note taking from end user devices among the video conference participants; and
instructions to detect the event of interest in video conference data for a plurality of video conference participants based on the increased note taking;
and instructions to send data to an end user device to notify an end user of the event of interest.
9. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions to detect further comprise instructions to detect increased discussion among the video conference participants.
10. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the video conference data further comprises audio and video data, the computer program further comprising instructions to
send data to an end user device to notify the end user of an interest value for the event of interest based on a profile for the end user, wherein the end user profile comprises data indicating at least one of a speaker of interest and a topic of interest.
11. The medium of claim 10 , wherein the interest value further comprises a specific interest value for the topic that is specific to the end user, the computer program further comprising instructions to send to the end user device, electronic notes from the video conference for the event of interest.
12. The medium of claim 11 , wherein the computer program further comprises instructions to identify a respondent from the video conference participants that responds to the speaker regarding the topic and instructions to creating an interest value for the topic of interest, the speaker video conference participant and the respondent video conference participant.
13. The method of claim 12 , the computer program further comprising instructions to determine a level of interest based on an emotional response to the topic, wherein the emotional response is estimated from at least one of a facial expression of the respondent, a pitch of the respondent's voice and a volume of the respondent's voice.
14. The medium of claim 8 , the computer program further comprising:
instructions to store notes from the video conference participants for the topic; and
instructions to send the notes for a first video conference participant to a second video conference participant.
15. A computer implemented method for receiving at an end user device, a notification of an event of interest in a video teleconference, the method comprising:
taking notes on a first one of a plurality of end user devices during the video teleconference;
receiving at a second one of the plurality of end user devices from a server, a notification indicating a detection of the event of interest in video conference data from the video teleconference for a plurality of video conference participants, wherein the event of interested is detected by increased note taking by the end user devices during the video teleconference; and
sending data from the end user device to the server requesting a transcription of comments from the speaker in video teleconference.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the event of interest is one of a topic of interest, a speaker of interest, increased note taking among the video conference participants, increased interest among the video conference participants and increased discussion among the video conference participants.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the video conference data further comprises audio and video data, the computer program further comprising instructions to
notify the end user of an interest value for the event of interest, wherein the interest value is based on a profile for the end user, wherein the end user profile comprises data indicating at least one of a speaker of interest and a topic of interest.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the interest value further comprises a specific interest value for the topic that is specific to the end user, the computer program further comprising instructions to receive at the end user device, electronic notes for the event of interest from the server.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the computer program further comprises instructions to receive at the end user device, an interest value from a server for a triplet comprising the topic, the speaker and the respondent.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the interest value is determined based on an emotional response to the topic, wherein the emotional response is estimated from at least one of a facial expression of the respondent, a pitch and a volume of the respondent's voice, instructions to store notes from the video conference participants for the topic and instructions to send the notes for a first video conference participant to a second video conference participant.
