Abstract

Session content is presented during a communication session to the participant devices. The participant devices transmit requests for notes to be generated for the session content. One or more segments of the communication session are determined when a threshold number of participant devices that requested notes to be generated is exceeded. Information associated with the one or more segments is transmitted to a participant device of the participant devices.

Claims (34)

1 . A method, comprising:

determining one or more segments of a communication session when a threshold number of participant devices of the communication session requesting to capture notes is exceeded; and

transmitting, to at least one of the participant devices, information associated with the one or more segments.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the information to the at least one of the participant devices is performed in real-time during the communication session.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the information to the at least one of the participant devices is performed after the communication session has ended.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises an engagement average during the communication session.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises information about the participant devices that engaged in more note generation than other participant devices.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information is transmitted to participant devices that have access to a note analytics user interface.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information is transmitted to the at least one of the participant devices based on at least one of an associated engagement or a number of requests to capture notes during the communication session.

8 . A system, comprising:

a server configured to:

determine one or more segments of a communication session when a threshold number of participant devices of the communication session that request to capture notes is exceeded; and

transmit, to at least one of the participant devices, information associated with the one or more segments.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the server is further configured to:

determine one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises slides or sections with a highest active engagement from participant devices.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the server is further configured to:

determine one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises information about the participant devices that engaged in note generation.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the server is further configured to:

determine one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises information about the participant devices that engaged in less note generation than other participant devices.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the information is transmitted to participant devices that have access to a note analytics user interface.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the information is transmitted to the at least one of the participant devices based on an associated engagement.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the information is transmitted to the at least one of the participant devices based on a number of requests to generate notes during the communication session.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

determining one or more segments of a communication session when a threshold number of participant devices of the communication session requesting to capture notes is exceeded; and

transmitting, to at least one of the participant devices, information associated with the one or more segments.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the information to the at least one of the participant devices is performed in real-time.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the information to the at least one of the participant devices is performed after the communication session has been terminated.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises an average number of notes requested per participant device.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining one or more engagement metrics for the participant devices based on requests to capture notes, wherein the one or more engagement metrics comprises information about the participant devices that engaged in more note generation than other participant devices.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the information is transmitted to the at least one of the participant devices that have access to a note analytics user interface.
