Abstract

Embodiments for rendering content, such as a teleconference, by one or more processors are described. A personalized presentation rendering profile for at least one individual is received. Portions of the content are selected based on the personalized presentation rendering profile. A rendering of the content is caused to be generated. The rendering of the content includes rendering the selected portions of the content in a manner different than other portions of the content.

Claims (28)

1. A method, by one or more processors, for rendering a teleconference comprising:

receiving a personalized presentation rendering profile for at least one individual;

selecting portions of a teleconference based on the personalized presentation rendering profile;

causing a rendering of the teleconference to be generated, wherein the rendering of the teleconference includes rendering the selected portions of the teleconference in a manner different than other portions of the teleconference; wherein the rendering of the teleconference includes rendering audio content, and wherein the rendering of the audio content includes rendering audio content associated with the selected portions of the teleconference at a first sound volume and rendering audio content associated with the other portions of the teleconference at a second sound volume, the first sound volume being greater than the second sound volume; and

commensurate with switching from the other portions of the teleconference rendered at the second sound volume to the selected portions of the teleconference rendered at the first sound volume, generating and sending a notification to at least one device associated with the at least one individual indicating that the selected portions of the teleconference are occurring; wherein the notification indicating that the selected portions of the teleconference are occurring is generated using a cognitive analysis of the teleconference and the at least one individual such that the cognitive analysis identifies, by correlating content of the teleconference and characteristics known of the at least one individual, that the selected portions of the teleconference are relevant to the at least one individual notwithstanding whether the selected portions are explicitly noted as being relevant by user input.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the personalized presentation rendering profile is based on at least one data source associated with the individual and is generated utilizing the cognitive analysis.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendering of the teleconference is caused to be generated during the teleconference or after the teleconference.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendering of the teleconference includes generating text, and wherein said generated text includes a first type of description associated with the selected portions of the teleconference and a second type of description associated with the other portions of the teleconference, the first type of description being more detailed than the second type of description.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the personalized presentation rendering profile for at least one individual includes receiving a respective personalized presentation rendering profile for each of a plurality of individuals, the selecting of the portions of the teleconference is performed for each of the plurality of individuals based on the respective personalized presentation rendering profile and includes detecting keywords in the selected portions based on the respective personalized presentation rendering profile, and the causing of the rendering of the teleconference to be generated is performed for each of the plurality of individuals and is based on the detected keywords.

6. A system for rendering a teleconference comprising:

at least one processor that

receives a personalized presentation rendering profile for at least one individual;

selects portions of a teleconference based on the personalized presentation rendering profile;

causes a rendering of the teleconference to be generated, wherein the rendering of the teleconference includes rendering the selected portions of the teleconference in a manner different than other portions of the teleconference; wherein the rendering of the teleconference includes rendering audio content, and wherein the rendering of the audio content includes rendering audio content associated with the selected portions of the teleconference at a first sound volume and rendering audio content associated with the other portions of the teleconference at a second sound volume, the first sound volume being greater than the second sound volume; and

commensurate with switching from the other portions of the teleconference rendered at the second sound volume to the selected portions of the teleconference rendered at the first sound volume, generates and sends a notification to at least one device associated with the at least one individual indicating that the selected portions of the teleconference are occurring; wherein the notification indicating that the selected portions of the teleconference are occurring is generated using a cognitive analysis of the teleconference and the at least one individual such that the cognitive analysis identifies, by correlating content of the teleconference and characteristics known of the at least one individual, that the selected portions of the teleconference are relevant to the at least one individual notwithstanding whether the selected portions are explicitly noted as being relevant by user input.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the personalized presentation rendering profile is based on at least one data source associated with the individual and is generated utilizing the cognitive analysis.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the rendering of the teleconference is caused to be generated during the teleconference or after the teleconference.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the rendering of the teleconference includes generating text, and wherein said generated text includes a first type of description associated with the selected portions of the teleconference and a second type of description associated with the other portions of the teleconference, the first type of description being more detailed than the second type of description.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the receiving of the personalized presentation rendering profile for at least one individual includes receiving a respective personalized presentation rendering profile for each of a plurality of individuals, the selecting of the portions of the teleconference is performed for each of the plurality of individuals based on the respective personalized presentation rendering profile and includes detecting keywords in the selected portions based on the respective personalized presentation rendering profile, and the causing of the rendering of the teleconference to be generated is performed for each of the plurality of individuals and is based on the detected keywords.
