Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for automatic real-time moderation of meetings, by a computerized or automated moderation unit able to manage, steer and guide the meeting in real-time and able to selectively generate and convey real-time differential notifications and advice to particular participants. A Meeting Moderator Bot monitors audio conversations in a meeting, and analyzes their textual equivalent; detects topics that were skipped or that should be discussed, and notifies participants; detects double-talk or interferences and generates warnings accordingly; detects absence of participants that are relevant to particular topics; detects that the conversation should shift to another topic on the agenda; generates other meeting steering notifications; and monitors compliance of the meeting participants with such steering notifications.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of Capturing the Moment in audio discussions and recordings. A user utilizes an electronic device to record audio, or to participate in an audio conversation or an audio/video conversation. During the conversation, the user clicks on presses a button to create an audio bookmark at desired time-points. Later, the system generates separate a short audio-clip for a few sentences that were spoken before and after each such audio bookmarks. The system further generates an aggregated clip or summary of the bookmarked segments, as well as textual transcription of the bookmarked content.

Abstract: Device, system, and method of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications, and particularly of Real Time Protocol (RTP) communication. In order to improve quality-of-service or quality-of-experience for a group of VoIP calls that are served by a VoIP router, each VoIP transmitter implements and adds a pseudo-random waiting-period prior to transmitting each outgoing RTP packet, or otherwise re-orders or mixes or shuffles the order of channels of RTP packets that are buffered or queued for transmission. Accordingly, no particular VoIP channel suffers from repeated drops of its RTP packets at the VoIP router. Additionally, VoIP network analyzers operate to measure the overall VoIP network overuse, or the average RTP packet loss rate of multiple VoIP channels, based on measuring RTP packet loss rate of a single VoIP channel which enforces a random pre-transmission waiting-period.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of generating and utilizing visual representations for audio meetings. A method includes: receiving an audio recording of a meeting having multiple participants; determining, for each meeting participant, time-slots in which that meeting participant spoke during the meeting; generating and displaying an audio playback progress bar which visually differentiates among time-slots of different meeting participants. Hovering or selection of a particular time-point on the audio progress bar, causes generation and display of a textual phrase that was uttered at that time-point by a meeting participant, together with an indication of the speaker; and optionally with several other preceding phrases and following phrases. Transcript portions are also color-coded or visually-coded, to efficiently distinguish among phrases of various meeting participants.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for assigning differential weight to participants in a meeting, and for automatically generating summaries of meetings. A transcript of the meeting is generated or obtained; and meeting data and meta-data is analyzed, optionally utilizing textual analysis and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Roles or titles are determined for each participant; and a differential weight is allocated to utterances of each participant based on his role or title. Optionally, the weight is modified based on the relation between the participant's role and the topic of an utterance, or by taking into account the level of activity or passiveness of each participant. Optionally, a high-ranking participant is assigned a prevailing weight, with regard to all topics or with regard to a subset of topics. The system generates automatically a summary of approved decisions, approved action items, rejected proposals, or other insights.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for automatically generating presentations, and for automatically generating a visual presentation that corresponds to a verbal meeting in which one or more topics were discussed. A method includes: obtaining an audio recording of a meeting; generating a transcript of the meeting from the audio recording; and automatically generating a visual presentation that corresponds to particular key elements of the meeting. The generated visual presentation includes automatically-generated slides or portions or chapters, which correspond to the agenda of the meeting, topics discussed and their summary, conclusions, decisions, action items, and other key elements of the meeting.

Abstract: The present invention includes devices, systems, and methods of Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication. For example, a method includes: receiving a data stream comprising a set of VoIP packets; and modifying a Real Time Protocol (RTP) header of at least one of said VoIP packets to modify a jitter buffer delay of said data stream. Optionally, the method includes decreasing the jitter buffer delay by: dropping at least one packet from said data stream; and decreasing a sequence number and a timestamp value in an RTP header of at least one additional packet subsequent to said at least one packet. Optionally, the method includes increasing the jitter buffer delay by: identifying a pair of consecutive packets in the incoming data stream, the pair of consecutive packets having consecutive sequence numbers; and increasing a sequence number in an RTP header of at least a latter packet in said pair of consecutive packets.
