Abstract

Document portion identification in a recorded video is disclosed, including: obtaining a recorded video; identifying a document portion that appears during the recorded video, wherein the document portion belongs to a document; and determining a video segment during which the document portion appears in the recorded video.

Claims (55)

1. A system, comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine that a document comprises a new document, wherein the document comprises a plurality of document portions;

apply a plurality of new document portion identifiers to the plurality of document portions;

obtain a recorded video;

identify a document portion that appears during the recorded video, wherein the document portion belongs to the document, including to preprocess a sampled video frame from a plurality of video frames associated with the recorded video to reduce a number of pixels of the sampled video frame to scan for a presence of a document portion identifier corresponding to the document portion; and

determine a video segment during which the document portion appears in the recorded video; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the document; and

obtain the plurality of new document portion identifiers corresponding to the plurality of document portions belonging to the document.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of new document portion identifiers comprises a plurality of barcodes.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the document;

determine that the document comprises a changed document portion;

obtain an updated document portion identifier corresponding to the changed document portion; and

apply the updated document portion identifier to the changed document portion.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the recorded video comprises a recording of an online, video-based meeting.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein to identify the document portion that appears during the recorded video comprises to determine a set of sampled video frames from the plurality of video frames associated with the recorded video.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein to identify the document portion that appears during the recorded video comprises to detect the document portion identifier corresponding to the document portion in the sampled video frame associated with the recorded video, wherein the video segment comprises the sampled video frame.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a first set of signals from an audio segment corresponding to the video segment;

determine a second set of signals from text transcription corresponding to the video segment;

determine a third set of signals from video frames included in the video segment; and

determine a comparison between detected content associated with the document portion that appears in the recorded video and a stored version of a stored document portion associated with the document portion identifier.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to update aggregated analysis associated with the document portion identifier with one or more of the following: the first set of signals, the second set of signals, the third set of signals, and the comparison.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

compare the aggregated analysis associated with the document portion identifier to stored rules to generate a recommendation; and

present the recommendation at a user interface.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to update aggregated analysis associated with the document with one or more of the following: the first set of signals, the second set of signals, the third set of signals, and the comparison.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the document comprises a slideshow, a word processing document, a portable document format (PDF), a video, or a set of images.

13. A method, comprising:

determining that a document comprises a new document, wherein the document comprises a plurality of document portions;

applying a plurality of new document portion identifiers to the plurality of document portions;

obtaining a recorded video;

identifying a document portion that appears during the recorded video, wherein the document portion belongs to the document, including preprocessing a sampled video frame from a plurality of video frames associated with the recorded video to reduce a number of pixels of the sampled video frame to scan for a presence of a document portion identifier corresponding to the document portion; and

determining a video segment during which the document portion appears in the recorded video.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

obtaining the document; and

obtaining the plurality of new document portion identifiers corresponding to the plurality of document portions belonging to the document.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

obtaining the document;

determining that the document comprises a changed document portion;

obtaining an updated document portion identifier corresponding to the changed document portion; and

applying the updated document portion identifier to the changed document portion.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein identifying the document portion that appears during the recorded video comprises determining a set of sampled video frames from the plurality of video frames associated with the recorded video.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein identifying the document portion that appears during the recorded video comprises detecting the document portion identifier corresponding to the document portion in the sampled video frame associated with the recorded video, wherein the video segment comprises the sampled video frame.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the document comprises a slideshow, a word processing document, a portable document format (PDF), a video, or a set of images.

19. A computer program product, the computer program product being a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

determining that a document comprises a new document, wherein the document comprises a plurality of document portions;

applying a plurality of new document portion identifiers to the plurality of document portions;

obtaining a recorded video;

identifying a document portion that appears during the recorded video, wherein the document portion belongs to the document, including preprocessing a sampled video frame from a plurality of video frames associated with the recorded video to reduce a number of pixels of the sampled video frame to scan for a presence of a document portion identifier corresponding to the document portion; and

determining a video segment during which the document portion appears in the recorded video.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a timeline that indicates a location of the video segment within the recorded video.
