Abstract

Techniques related to electronic meeting intelligence are disclosed. An apparatus receives audio/video data including first meeting content data for an electronic meeting that includes multiple participants. The apparatus extracts the first meeting content data from the audio/video data. The apparatus generates meeting content metadata based on analyzing the first meeting content data. The apparatus includes the meeting content metadata in a report of the electronic meeting. If the apparatus determines that the audio/video data includes a cue for the apparatus to intervene in the electronic meeting, the apparatus generates intervention data including second meeting content data that is different from the first meeting content data. During the electronic meeting, the apparatus sends the intervention data to one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the multiple participants.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the particular participant is determined using one or more of voice recognition or face recognition.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media store additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause generating, based upon one or more portions of the first meeting content data, one or more translated portions of the first meeting content data, and

the second meeting content data includes either the one or more translated portions of the first meeting content data instead of the one or more portions of the first meeting content data, or the one or more translated portions of the first meeting content data in addition to the one or more portions of the first meeting content data, and

processing of the second meeting content data at the one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the one or more participants causes the one or more translated portions of the first meeting content data to be displayed at the one or more nodes.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media store additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause converting one or more portions of the first meeting content data from a first format into a second format to generate one or more converted portions of the first meeting content data, and

the second meeting content data includes one or more converted portions of the first meeting content data.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at an apparatus, first meeting content data for an electronic meeting that includes one or more participants;

determining, by the apparatus analyzing the first meeting content data for the electronic meeting that includes one or more participants, that the first meeting content data for the electronic meeting that includes one or more participants includes a cue for the apparatus to intervene in the electronic meeting;

in response to the determining, by the apparatus, that the first meeting content data for the electronic meeting that includes one or more participants includes a cue for the apparatus to intervene in the electronic meeting, generating and transmitting second meeting content data to one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the one or more participants;

wherein processing of the second meeting content data at the one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the one or more participants causes the one or more nodes to perform one or more actions with respect to the electronic meeting at the one or more nodes, wherein the one or more actions includes displaying, based upon the second meeting content data, additional information in the electronic meeting.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein:

the cue is a query,

the second meeting content data includes information that both satisfies the query and is not included in the first meeting content data, and

processing of the second meeting content data that includes the information that both satisfies the query and is not included in the first meeting content data at the one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the one or more participants causes the information to be displayed at the one or more nodes.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the information that both satisfies the query and is not included in the first meeting content data includes information that pertains to one or more prior electronic meetings.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein:

the cue is a face or a voice, and

the second meeting content data includes participant identification data that identifies a particular participant, from the one or more participants, that corresponds to the face or the voice, and

processing of the second meeting content data at the one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the one or more participants causes the particular participant identification data to be displayed at the one or more nodes.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the particular participant is determined using one or more of voice recognition or face recognition.
