System and Methods to Determine Readiness in Video Collaboration
A system or method of prioritizing participants in a virtual meeting via a network by scoring each participant on several criteria and weighting the criteria to determine a readiness score. The system of accesses, for each of a plurality of participants, network data, video data, audio data, processing data, and participation data. The system determines, for each of the plurality of participants, a signal strength score based on the corresponding network data, a background score based on the corresponding video data and audio data, a microphone proximity score based on the corresponding video data, a processing score for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding processing data, and an engagement score based on the corresponding video data and participation data. The system calculates the readiness score, for each participant, based at least on the corresponding signal strength score, background score, engagement score, and processing score, ranks the participants, and provides the ranked participants.
1 . A method comprising:
accessing at a device, for each of a plurality of participants, criteria data via a network;
determining a readiness score, for each of the plurality of participants, based on the corresponding criteria data;
ranking the plurality of participants based on the corresponding readiness score for each of the plurality of participants; and
providing the ranked plurality of participants.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the criteria data includes data stored in a user profile for each of the plurality of participants.
3 . The method of claim 2 wherein the user profile is related to a social media network.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the criteria data is selected from the group of a signal strength score, a background score, a microphone proximity score, a processing score, and an engagement score.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the ranked plurality of participants further comprises providing a user interface displaying the ranked plurality of participants.
6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising providing an indication of one of the plurality of participants ranked highest as a next presenter.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the readiness score comprises calculating a weighted average based on at least two criteria scores selected from the group of signal strength score, background score, microphone proximity score, processing score, and engagement score.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining an engagement score for each of the plurality of participants and wherein ranking the plurality of participants is further based on the engagement score.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining the engagement score further comprises analyzing the corresponding video data for eye gaze activity.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining the engagement score further comprises analyzing the participation data for distracting activity.
11 . A system comprising:
input/output circuitry;
processing circuitry configured to:
access, using the input/output circuitry, for each of a plurality of participants, criteria data via a network;
determine a readiness score, for each of the plurality of participants, based on the corresponding criteria data;
rank the plurality of participants based on the corresponding readiness score for each of the plurality of participants; and
provide the ranked plurality of participants.
12 . The system of claim 11 wherein the criteria data includes data stored in a user profile for each of the plurality of participants.
13 . The system of claim 12 wherein the user profile is related to a social media network.
14 . The system of claim 11 wherein the criteria data is selected from the group of a signal strength score, a background score, a microphone proximity score, a processing score, and an engagement score.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein to provide the ranked plurality of participants comprises providing a user interface displaying the ranked plurality of participants.
16 . The system of claim 11 wherein the control circuitry is further configured to provide an indication of one of the plurality of participants ranked highest as a next presenter.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein to determine the readiness score comprises calculating a weighted average based on at least two criteria scores selected from the group of signal strength score, background score, microphone proximity score, processing score, and engagement score.
18 . The system of claim 11 , the control circuitry further configured to determine an engagement score for each of the plurality of participants and wherein to rank the plurality of participants is further based on the engagement score.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein to determine the engagement score further comprises analyzing the corresponding video data for eye gaze activity.
20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein to determine the engagement score further comprises analyzing the participation data for distracting activity.
