Gesture-initiated actions in videoconferences
View Patent ↗Systems and methods are disclosed for gesture-initiated actions in videoconferences. In one implementation, a processing device receives one or more content streams as part of a communication session. The processing device identifies, within the one or more content streams, a request for feedback. The processing device processes, based on an identification of a request for feedback within the one of the plurality of content streams, the one or more content streams to identify a presence of one or more gestures within at least one of the one or more content streams. The processing device initiates, based on an identification of the presence of one or more gestures within at least one of the one or more content streams, an action with respect to the communication session.
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
receive a plurality of content streams as part of a communication session;
identify, within audio content contained within one of the plurality of content streams, a request for feedback;
based on an identification of the request for feedback within the one of the plurality of content streams, process, by the processing device, the plurality of content streams to identify, within a defined chronological interval of the identification of the request for feedback, a presence of one or more gestures within video content contained within at least one of the plurality of content streams; and
based on a determination that a first gesture of the one or more gestures is relatively more prevalent across the plurality of content streams than one or more other gestures, initiate an action with respect to the communication session.
2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing device, further cause the processing device to associate the request for feedback with a first user, the first user being associated with the one of the plurality of content streams.
3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing device, further cause the processing device to associate a respective one of the one or more gestures with a user associated with a respective one of the plurality of content streams within which the respective one of the one or more gestures is identified.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein to process the plurality of content streams is to process the one or more gestures to determine a feedback result.
5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein to initiate an action with respect to the communication session is to select one of the plurality of content streams as a primary presenter.
6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein to initiate an action with respect to the communication session is to present a content item with respect to one of the plurality of content streams.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein to initiate an action with respect to the communication session is to establish a presentation queue with respect to one or more of the plurality of content streams.
8. A method comprising:
receiving a plurality of content streams as part of a communication session;
identifying, within audio content contained within one of the plurality of content streams, a request for feedback;
based on an identification of a request for feedback within the one of the plurality of content streams, processing, by a processing device, the plurality of content streams to identify, within a defined chronological interval of the identification of the request for feedback, a presence of one or more gestures within video content contained within at least one of the plurality of content streams; and
based on an identification of the presence a determination that a first gesture of the one or more gestures within at least one of is relatively more prevalent across the plurality of content streams than one or more other gestures, initiating an action with respect to the communication session.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising associating the request for feedback with a first user, the first user being associated with the one of the plurality of content streams.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising associating a respective one of the one or more gestures with a user associated with a respective one of the plurality of content streams within which the respective one of the one or more gestures is identified.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein processing the plurality of content streams comprises processing the one or more gestures to determine a feedback result.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein initiating an action with respect to the communication session comprises selecting one of the plurality of content streams as a primary presenter.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein initiating an action with respect to the communication session comprises presenting a content item with respect to one of the plurality of content streams.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein initiating an action with respect to the communication session comprises establishing a presentation queue with respect to one or more of the plurality of content streams.
15. A system comprising:
a memory; and
a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
receive a plurality of content streams as part of a communication session;
identify, within audio content contained within one of the plurality of content streams, a request for feedback;
process, based on an identification of a request for feedback within the one of the plurality of content streams, the plurality of content streams to identify, within a defined chronological interval of the identification of the request for feedback, a presence of one or more gestures within video content contained within at least one of the plurality of content streams; and
initiate, based on an identification of the presence a determination that a first gesture of the one or more gestures within at least one of is relatively more prevalent across the plurality of content streams than one or more other gestures, an action with respect to the communication session.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to associate the request for feedback with a first user, the first user being associated with the one of the plurality of content streams.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to associate a respective one of the one or more gestures with a user associated with a respective one of the plurality of content streams within which the respective one of the one or more gestures is identified.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein to process the plurality of content streams is to process the one or more gestures to determine a feedback result.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein to initiate an action with respect to the communication session is to select one of the plurality of content streams as a primary presenter.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein to initiate an action with respect to the communication session is to establish a presentation queue with respect to one or more of the plurality of content streams.
