  • Patent number: 11397507
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for voice-based navigation in one or more virtual areas that define respective persistent virtual communication contexts are described. These examples enable communicants to use voice commands to, for example, search for communication opportunities in the different virtual communication contexts, enter specific ones of the virtual communication contexts, and bring other communicants into specific ones of the virtual communication contexts. In this way, these examples allow communicants to exploit the communication opportunities that are available in virtual areas, even when hands-based or visual methods of interfacing with the virtual areas are not available.

  • Patent number: 11314408
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed that enable a computing system to collect and process user preferences regarding content that is shared in a collaborative workspace. By the use of an input gesture, individual users of a multi-user sharing session can provide a vote for a portion of content indicating that they favor (“up-vote”) or disfavor (“down-vote”) the content. The system can collect and analyze the votes from each user. The system can then modify the content based on the votes. Modifications to the content can include, but are not limited to, rearranging selected portions of the content, generating annotations, generating one or more UI elements that bring focus to portions of the content, identifying high-priority content or low-priority content, or deleting portions of the content.

  • Patent number: 11099727
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing maps in a collaborative environment using classification-based access control. The generation of and dissemination of maps and/or data within such maps can be governed by classification-based access control, where a user's classification level can determine whether or not maps and/or data within those maps can be seen. In some scenarios, a user may wish to reveal the existence of data and/or additional details within a limited geographical area or subset of a map. The systems and methods further provide a geo-fenced view that can dynamically declassify data (to a specified degree). For example, declassified details can be revealed for moving data sets or objects upon entry into the geo-fenced view, and upon existing the geo-fenced view, the moving data sets or objects are reclassified.
