  • Patent number: 11080356
    Abstract: Real-time summarization of an online meeting is accomplished using a cognitive system that analyzes meeting content and generates a mini-presentation, i.e., a small number of slides that condense more extensive details. The summary allows an attendee to easily and quickly review portions of the meeting that were missed, while the meeting is still ongoing. The cognitive system can customize the summary for the attendee based on the attendee's role or information in the meeting content which has previously been presented to the attendee. A user interface has a special scrollbar divided into multiple sections corresponding to different topics of the summary. The presentation window can switch from current content to previous content when the attendee selects a particular section. A feedback mechanism may also be used to assist the presenter with future presentations, based on subjects raised in audience interaction that were topics of the meeting.

  • Patent number: 11057482
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to facilitate tracking events associated with a user interface display of an application at runtime. In at least one implementation, one or more information structures that associate an event tracking indicator with a view selector are stored, wherein the event tracking indicator indicates an event to be tracked, and the view selector indicates one or more constraints to be matched to select a view of the application. During execution of the application, the view selector is evaluated with views used by the application to determine whether each of the one or more constraints of the view selector matches properties of the views. In response to determining that each of the one or more constraints of the view selector matches the properties of at least one of the views, an occurrence of the event indicated by the event tracking indicator associated with the view selector is tracked.
