Abstract

Systems and methods are provided herein for providing context to users who access video conferences late. This may be accomplished by a system receiving an audio segment of a video conference and generating a subtitle corresponding to the audio segment. The system may determine a summary relating to the audio segment and then display the subtitle, summary, and video conference on a device. The system allows a user, who accesses a video conference late, to quickly and accurately understand the current video conference discussion, improving the user's experience and increasing the productivity of the video conference.

Claims (50)

1 .- 28 . (canceled)

29 . A method comprising:

generating a first summary associated with a first subject using a first group of subtitles related to a piece of media content;

generating a second summary associated with a second subject using a second group of subtitles related to the piece of media content;

storing the first summary and the second summary in a database comprising a plurality of entries, wherein the plurality of entries associates one or more summaries with one or more subjects;

receiving a first audio segment related to the piece of media content;

generating a first subtitle using the first audio segment;

determining that a first entry of the plurality of entries associates at least a portion of the first subtitle with the first subject; and

generating for display, an interface, wherein the interface comprises:

the first subtitle displayed with a first attribute;

the first summary displayed with the first attribute;

the second summary displayed with a second attribute, different than the first attribute, wherein the first subtitle, the first summary, the second summary, and the piece of media content are displayed at the same time.

30 . The method of claim 29 , further comprising:

receiving a second audio segment related to the piece of media content;

generating a second subtitle using the second audio segment; and

determining that a second entry of the plurality of entries associates at least a portion of the second subtitle with the second subject; and

generating an updated interface, wherein the updated interface displays the second subtitle, the second summary, the first summary, and the piece of media content at the same time.

31 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the interface is generated for display in response to determining that the first entry of the plurality of entries associates at the least a portion of the first subtitle with the first subject.

32 . The method of claim 29 , further comprising displaying, by a first device, the interface on a first screen.

33 . The method of claim 32 , further comprising displaying, by a second device, the interface on a second screen.

34 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the piece of media content is live.

35 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the piece of media content is recorded.

36 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the first attribute corresponds to a type of font.

37 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the first attribute corresponds to a color.

38 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the first attribute corresponds to a size.

39 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the first attribute corresponds to a text indictor.

40 . An apparatus comprising:

control circuitry; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the control circuitry, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:

generate a first summary associated with a first subject using a first group of subtitles related to a piece of media content;

generate a second summary associated with a second subject using a second group of subtitles related to the piece of media content;

store the first summary and the second summary in a database comprising a plurality of entries, wherein the plurality of entries associates one or more summaries with one or more subjects;

receive a first audio segment related to the piece of media content;

generate a first subtitle using the first audio segment;

determine that a first entry of the plurality of entries associates at least a portion of the first subtitle with the first subject; and

generate for display, an interface, wherein the interface comprises:

the first subtitle displayed with a first attribute;

the first summary displayed with the first attribute;

the second summary displayed with a second attribute, different than the first attribute, wherein the first subtitle, the first summary, the second summary, and the piece of media content are displayed at the same time.

41 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

receive a second audio segment related to the piece of media content;

generate a second subtitle using the second audio segment; and

determine that a second entry of the plurality of entries associates at least a portion of the second subtitle with the second subject; and

generate an updated interface, wherein the updated interface displays the second subtitle, the second summary, the first summary, and the piece of media content at the same time.

42 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the interface is generated for display in response to determining that the first entry of the plurality of entries associates at the least a portion of the first subtitle with the first subject.

43 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to cause a first device to display the interface on a first screen.

44 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the piece of media content is live.

45 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the piece of media content is recorded.

46 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the first attribute corresponds to a type of font, a color, or a size.

47 . The apparatus of claim 40 , wherein the first attribute corresponds to a text indictor.
