Advising meeting participants of their contributions based on a graphical representation
Systems and methods for advising meeting participants are disclosed. An example method of advising meeting participants includes establishing a desired engagement level for a participant of a meeting. The example method further includes evaluating a contribution to the meeting of the participant based on the desired engagement level and including at least one of detecting a communication duration of the participant or determining a quantity of content shared. The example method also includes generating a graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting. Additionally, the example method includes providing the graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting, including transmitting a signal to at least one of the participant or a meeting host. The signal communicates the graphical representation to a device of the participant or the meeting host.
1. A method of advising meeting participants, comprising:
establishing a desired engagement level for a participant of a meeting;
evaluating a contribution to the meeting of the participant based on the desired engagement level and including at least one of detecting a communication duration of the participant or determining a quantity of content shared;
generating a graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting; and
providing the graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting, including transmitting a signal to at least one of the participant or a meeting host, the signal communicating the graphical representation to a device of the participant or the meeting host.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the participant is one of remote or local, the participant communicating over a communication service when remote and communicating with at least some participants in a single location when local, evaluating the contribution to the meeting is in real time and includes one of identifying the participant using an identification number for the participant on the communication service or identifying the participant using voice recognition when the participant is in the single location.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing the desired engagement level for the participant further comprises establishing the desired engagement level for the participant by at least one of the meeting host, a facilitator or a manager.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting comprises at least one of a heat map, a scoring, a graph, a classic metering, or a color coding comparing the contribution to the meeting to the desired engagement level.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when used, the communication duration is at least one of a speech duration, a chat duration, or a video duration of the participant and the contribution of the participant is a frequency of words by the participant.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a color coding comprises at least one of red for no participation, yellow for warning about low participation, and green for good participation level.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising tracking the participant during the meeting using speech recognition techniques.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein tracking the participant during the meeting using the speech recognition techniques includes at least one of speech format attribute detection, device detection, or caller-identification recognition.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising recording evaluated metrics and gathered information about each participant's speech duration and their continued involvement.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the recording evaluated metrics are gathered and maintained for the participant, the recording evaluated metrics including at least one of frequency of words spoken, speaking duration, or primary engagers.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising signaling the participant or a host according to evaluated results metrics.
12. An apparatus for advising meeting participants, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory including instructions causing the at least one processor to:
establish a desired engagement level for a participant of a meeting,
evaluate a contribution to the meeting of the participant based on the desired engagement level and including at least one of detecting a communication duration of the participant or determining a quantity of content shared,
generate a graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting, and
provide the graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting, including transmitting a signal to at least one of the participant or a meeting host, the signal communicating the graphical representation to a device of the participant or the meeting host.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the participant is one of remote or local, the participant communicating over a communication service when remote and communicating with at least some participants in a single location when local, evaluating the contribution to the meeting is in real time and includes one of identifying the participant using an identification number for the participant on the communication service when remote or identifying the participant using voice recognition when the participant is in the single location.
14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein establishing the desired engagement level for the participant further comprises establishing the desired engagement level for the participant by at least one of a facilitator or a manager.
15. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the graphical representation of the contribution to the meeting comprises at least one of a heat map, a scoring, a graph, a classic metering, or a color coding comparing the contribution to the meeting to the desired engagement level.
16. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein, when used, the communication duration is at least one of a speech duration, a chat duration, or a video duration of the participant and the contribution of the participant is a frequency of words by the participant.
17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein a color coding comprises at least one of red for no participation, yellow for warning about low participation, and green for good participation level.
18. The apparatus of claim 12 , the memory further including instructions causing the at least one processor to track the participant during the meeting using speech recognition techniques.
19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein tracking the participant during the meeting using the speech recognition techniques includes at least one of speech format attribute detection, device detection, or caller-identification recognition.
20. The apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising recording evaluated metrics and gathered information about each participant's speech duration and their continued involvement.
