  • Patent number: 11716364
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product reduce bandwidth requirements of a virtual collaboration session. The method includes capturing session data from a virtual collaboration session. The session data is selected from a group consisting of video data, audio data, an image of a screen of a connected device and text data. The method also includes connecting to a live blog platform. The method further includes transmitting a text transcription of the virtual collaboration session to the live blog platform. The text transcription is generated by scanning the audio data using a speech-to-text algorithm. In addition, the method includes classifying a topic in the virtual collaboration session based on importance. Lastly, the method includes transmitting a multimedia file related to the topic to the live blog platform in response to the topic being classified as important. The multimedia file is extracted from the session data.

  • Patent number: 11238708
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for determining engagement levels of an audience and providing associated recommendations to a presenter. The method includes one or more processors receiving sensor data from sensors located in an audience area during a presentation. The method further includes one or more processors determining an engagement level for a first individual in the audience area utilizing sensor data from sensors associated with the first individual. The method further includes one or more processors determining whether the determined engagement level for the first individual indicates that the first individual is not engaged with the presentation. In response to determining that the determined engagement level of the first individual indicates that the first individual is not engaged with the presentation, the method further includes one or more processors determining recommendations to increase engagement of the first individual.

  • Patent number: 5682180
    Abstract: An electronic display generates an image which, through substantial registry of two opponent vector images, is perceived as a full color image. The display receives two channels of information representing two opponent color vectors of an image to be displayed, develops two images in the two opponent color vectors, and superimposes the two images to generate the image which is perceived as a full color image.
