Abstract

A system and method for an interactive digitally rendered avatar of a subject person to participate in a web meeting is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving an invite to a web meeting on a video conferencing platform, wherein the invite identifies a subject person and the video conferencing platform. The method also includes generating an interactive avatar of the subject person based on a data collection associated with the subject person stored in a database. The method further includes instantiating a platform integrator associated with the video conferencing platform identified in the invite and joining, by the interactive avatar of the subject person, the web meeting on the video conferencing platform. The platform integrator transforms outputs and inputs between the video conferencing platform and an interactive digitally rendered avatar system so that the interactive avatar of the subject person participates in the web meeting.

Claims (27)

1. A method of recommending an interactive digital avatar of a subject person to participate in a web meeting on a video conferencing platform, the method comprising:

joining, by an avatar concierge of an interactive digitally rendered avatar system, a web meeting on a video conferencing platform with a plurality of participants;

analyzing, by the avatar concierge, one or more topics or subjects discussed by the plurality of participants during the web meeting;

based on the analysis of the one or more topics or subjects discussed by the plurality of participants during the web meeting, recommending, by the avatar concierge, at least one interactive avatar of a subject person, wherein the subject person has expertise or experience with the one or more topics or subjects discussed by the plurality of participants during the web meeting and wherein a data collection associated with the subject person is stored in a database at the interactive digitally rendered avatar system;

sending an invite, by the avatar concierge, requesting that the at least one interactive avatar of the subject person join the web meeting;

generating, by the interactive digitally rendered avatar system, the at least one interactive avatar of the subject person, wherein the at least one interactive avatar is generated based on the data collection associated with the subject person stored in the database at the interactive digitally rendered avatar system;

wherein an artificial intelligence engine associated with the interactive digitally rendered avatar system provides instructions to control the interactive avatar of the subject person to participate in the web meeting, and

wherein the artificial intelligence engine uses the data collection associated with the subject person stored in the database to generate one or more responses from the interactive avatar of the subject person to participants of the web meeting about the one or more topics or subjects discussed by the plurality of participants without input from the subject person during the web meeting.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

instantiating, by the interactive digitally rendered avatar system, a platform integrator associated with the video conferencing platform identified in the invite; and

joining, by the interactive avatar of the subject person, the web meeting on the video conferencing platform, wherein the platform integrator is configured to transform outputs and inputs between the video conferencing platform and the interactive digitally rendered avatar system so that the interactive avatar of the subject person participates in the web meeting.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar concierge reviews audio, video, and/or text from the web meeting with the plurality of participants to analyze the one or more topics or subjects discussed during the web meeting.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar concierge compares the one or more topics or subjects discussed during the web meeting to one or more keywords or subject matter tags associated with data collections of a plurality of subject persons stored in the database.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar concierge performs a guided selection process including one or more questions to the plurality of participants to determine the one or more topics or subjects.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the platform integrator transforms the outputs and the inputs between the video conferencing platform and the interactive digitally rendered avatar system to correspond with a set of protocols and requirements for the video conferencing platform.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

upon completion of the web meeting, providing a link to a session history stored in a database at the interactive digitally rendered avatar system.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein each participant of the plurality of participants may continue a discussion with the interactive avatar of the subject person by accessing the link to the session history.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, during the web meeting, a change in a topic being discussed; and

in response, automatically inviting an interactive avatar of a new subject person to the web meeting.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the new subject person is associated with a data collection stored in the database at the interactive digitally rendered avatar system that includes at least one keyword or subject matter tag that matches the topic being discussed.

11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the interactive avatar of the subject person, that information to answer a question from at least one participant of the plurality of participants is not available in the data collection associated with the subject person stored in the database at the interactive digitally rendered avatar system; and

in response, sending an invite to the subject person to join the web meeting.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar concierge remains in the web meeting after the interactive avatar of the subject person has joined the web meeting.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar concierge leaves the web meeting after the interactive avatar of the subject person has joined the web meeting.
