  • Patent number: 12764254
    Abstract: In some implementations, techniques may include joining a virtual conference hosted by a virtual conference provider with one or more conference participants. In addition, the techniques may include accessing conference information corresponding to the virtual conference and participant information corresponding to each of the one or more conference participants. The techniques may include providing the conference information and the participant information as input to a machine learning model that is trained to assign a confidence score to each of the one or more conference participants. Moreover, the techniques may include receiving one or more confidence scores as output from the machine learning model. Each confidence score can correspond to a conference participant. Also, the techniques may include determining, for at least one of the one or more conference participants, whether to perform a corrective action on a respective conference participant based on the one or more confidence scores.

  • Patent number: 12762755
    Abstract: A server converts, using a natural language processing engine, a natural language input into an image generation prompt for a virtual background of a video conference. The server generates, using an image generation engine, the virtual background based on the image generation prompt. The server generates a composite image comprising at least one feature overlaying the virtual background. The server transmits for display, in a visual output associated with the video conference, the composite image.

  • Publication number: 20260219897
    Abstract: Software systems are configured using images of computing devices or peripherals. A system may receive an image depicting one or more computing devices or peripherals. Based on the received images, the system may determine a device model of the one or more computing devices or peripherals. The system may determine the identification and compatibility of the device model of the one or more computing devices or peripherals with at least one software application. The system may provide for display, via a user interface, an indication of the compatibility of the one or more computing devices with the at least one software application. Additionally, the system may automatically configure the software application to use the identified computing devices or peripherals.

  • Publication number: 20250274299
    Abstract: A system can automatically search and gather participant information in connection with an event. The search for participant information for a participant is triggered when a positive action for the event is received from the participant. The participant information is gathered from at least one of public, private and software platform resources. The gathered participant information is processed to resolve consistency issues due to the different sources. The resolved participant information is formatted and transmitted to the client devices for display and stored in private resources associated with the participant.
