  • Publication number: 20240070045
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for improving user experiences of an application. The methods and systems receive biological feedback of the user as the user interacts with an application and adapts the application's behavior in response to detecting a user's instantaneous reaction in response to interactions with the application. The methods and systems use a machine learning model to compare the user's current state based on the biological feedback received to known states to determine the user's instantaneous reaction to interactions with the application. The methods and systems provide feedback with a user experience classification of the user's interactions with the application.

  • Patent number: 11870943
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced teleconferencing. An example method includes generating a teleconference interface with a plurality of user-controlled participant interface elements representing participants of the teleconference; identifying a first conversation based on positions, in the teleconference interface, of a first subset of the participant interface elements; identifying a second conversation based on the positions, in the teleconference interface, of a second subset of the participant interface elements; accessing supplemental data, from at least one of a networking or social media database, for the participants of the teleconference; and presenting, within the participant interface elements, the supplemental data.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220415327
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing enhanced teleconferencing. An example method includes receiving audio streams from a plurality of client devices of participants of a teleconference; converting the audio streams for a first conversation within the teleconference into first text; converting the audio streams for a second conversation within the teleconference into a second text; analyzing the first text to identify one or more topics being discussed in the first conversation; analyzing the second text to identify one or more topics being discussed in the second conversation; and presenting, in a teleconference user interface, at least one of the one or more topics being discussed in the first conversation or the one or more topics being discussed in the second conversation.
