Patent number: 11907506Abstract: An illustrative virtual meeting management system associates a user device of a participant of a virtual meeting with a physical location from which the participant and one or more additional participants participate in the virtual meeting. The virtual meeting management system determines that the participant provides a user input via the user device during the virtual meeting. The user input indicates that the participant will speak. Based on the user input and the associating, the virtual meeting management system provides an active speaker indicator for presentation in a virtual meeting interface provided to one or more participants of the virtual meeting. The active speaker indicator specifies a participant identifier representative of the participant and a place identifier representative of the physical location from which the participant participates in the virtual meeting. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Ashish Nagpal, Krish Ramakrishnan, Satya Prakash Pati, Mahabaleshwar Bhat, Jaimin N Pancholi

Patent number: 11540092Abstract: Disclosed is a system for analyzing and optimizing conference experiences. The system may identify parameters associated with a conference between a set of User Equipment (“UEs”) used by different conference participants to access the conference. The system may compare the identified parameters to sets of parameters associated with a classification model. The system may identify, based on the comparing and the model output, a particular classification for the conference, and may calculate an impact of each conference parameter on the particular classification based on a particular parameter combination included in the model for the particular classification. The system may determine that a subset of the conference parameters has a larger impact on the particular classification than other conference parameters, may select one or more actions that are associated with the particular classification and the subset of parameters, and may perform the one or more actions.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Tarun Nagpal, Harish Narayan Viswanathan, Krish Ramakrishnan, Alagu Periyannan, Peter Anton Verwayen, Mahabaleshwar Bhat, Pradeep Malhotra, Ashish Nagpal, Karthick Kaliannan Neelamohan

Publication number: 20190215464Abstract: An audio/video stream may include an audio stream and a video stream. The video stream may be decomposed into a plurality of face streams. Each of the face streams may include a cropped version of the video stream and be focused on the face of one of the individuals captured in the video stream. Facial recognition may be used to associate each of the face streams with an identity of the individual captured in the respective face stream. Additionally, voice recognition may be used to recognize the identity of the active speaker in the audio stream. The face stream associated with an identity matching the active speaker's identity may be labeled as the face stream of the active speaker. In a “Room SplitView” mode, the face stream of the active speaker is rendered in a more prominent manner than the other face streams.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2018Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventors: Navneet Kumar, Ashish Nagpal, Satish Malalaganv Ramakrishna

Publication number: 20080275941Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for service integration on a network. Telecommunication services (e.g., calendar, television, phone, location) on a network are integrated using service codelets designed to interface with the services. A default codelet associated with the user (e.g., via a service plan) dynamically calls the service codelets to request information from the associated services (e.g., calendar data) and/or perform tasks with the associated services (e.g., update calendar). The service codelets can dynamically call other service codelets based on the results of their requests for information. The information from the services is integrated and returned to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2007Publication date: November 6, 2008Applicant: Sonus Networks, Inc.Inventors: Nagesh S.
