Systems and methods for providing electronic event information
Systems and methods include generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event, generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising: a first option associated with one or more of conditional attendance and a portion of desired attendance; and a second option associated with one or more of a type of attendance; sending the invitation; receiving a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.
1. A method comprising:
generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event;
generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising:
a first option enabling a user to selectively attend at least a portion of the event; and
a second option enabling the user to select a type of attendance based on a response to the first option, the type of attendance comprising one or more of receiving a live transcription of the event, receiving a post-event transcription, receiving a live recording, and receiving a post-event recording;
sending the invitation to the user;
receiving, from the user, a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and
based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first option enables the user to select one or more of a time range and a topic associated with the portion of the event.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions are performed during the event.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions comprise one or more of generating a live transcription and creating a recording of the event.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions comprise automatically editing one or more of a live transcription and a recording of the event.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a desired topic, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting a mention of the desired topic during the event; and
in response to the detection of the mention, sending a notification to the user.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a conditional acceptance based on attendance of a person other than the user, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event; and
in response to detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event, sending a follow-up invitation to the user.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option comprising a desired topic and the selection associated with the second option comprising a request for a post-event transcription, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
generating a transcription during the event; and
after the event, automatically editing the transcription to remove portions of the transcription not relating to the desired topic.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option comprising a desired topic and the selection associated with the second option comprising a request for a live transcription, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting a mention of the desired topic during the event; and
in response to detecting the mention of the desired topic, generating a notification comprising a hyperlink directed to a location of a live transcription.
10. A computer system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:
generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event;
generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising:
a first option enabling a user to selectively attend at least a portion of the event; and
a second option enabling the user to select a type of attendance based on a response to the first option, the type of attendance comprising one or more of receiving a live transcription of the event, receiving a post-event transcription, receiving a live recording, and receiving a post-event recording;
sending the invitation to the user;
receiving, from the user, a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and
based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.
11. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the first option enables the user to select one or more of a time range and a topic associated with the portion of the event.
12. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more actions are performed during the event.
13. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more actions comprise one or more of generating a live transcription and creating a recording of the event.
14. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more actions comprise automatically editing one or more of a live transcription and a recording of the event.
15. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a desired topic, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting a mention of the desired topic during the event; and
in response to the detection of the mention, sending a notification to the user.
16. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option, the selection indicates a conditional acceptance based on attendance of a person other than the user, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event; and
in response to detecting the person other than the user is not attending the event, sending a follow-up invitation to the user.
17. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the response comprises the selection associated with the first option comprising a desired topic and the selection associated with the second option comprising a request for a post-event transcription, and the actions associated with the event comprise:
generating a transcription during the event; and
after the event, automatically editing the transcription to remove portions of the transcription not relating to the desired topic.
18. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code configured, when executed by a processor of a first user device, to execute a method, the method comprising:
generating an electronic calendar item associated with an event;
generating an invitation associated with the electronic calendar item, the invitation comprising:
a first option enabling a user to selectively attend at least a portion of the event; and
a second option enabling the user to select a type of attendance based on a response to the first option, the type of attendance comprising one or more of receiving a live transcription of the event, receiving a post-event transcription, receiving a live recording, and receiving a post-event recording;
sending the invitation to the user;
receiving, from the user, a response to the invitation, the response comprising a selection associated with one or more of the first option and the second option; and
based on the selection, performing one or more actions associated with the event.
19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the first option enables the user to select one or more of a time range and a topic associated with the portion of the event.
20. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the one or more actions are performed during the event.
