Abstract: A method is employed in association with a communication session over a peer-to-peer network between a first node associated with a first session participant and a second node associated with a second session participant. In the method, identification information identifying the second session participant is received. Profile information descriptive of the second session participant is gathered using the identification information. The communication session is conducted using the profile information descriptive of the second session participant.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media for detecting disturbances in a media stream from a participant on a communication. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying disturbance criteria defining a plurality of audible disturbances, a plurality of visual disturbances, and a plurality of communication disturbances. The method further provides identifying one or more audible disturbances from an audio component of the media stream based on predefined disturbance criteria and identifying one or more visual disturbances from a video component of the media stream based on the disturbance criteria. Additionally, the method provides correlating the audible disturbances with the visual disturbances to determine one or more combined disturbances for the participant based on the disturbance criteria, wherein each of the combined disturbances comprises at least one of the audible disturbances and at least one of the visual disturbances.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for context-aware visualization, notification, aggregation, and formation in a multi-model collaboration space. The system first finds contextually related content from a multi-model collaboration space, wherein the multi-model collaboration space includes disjoint collaboration tools. The system then generates a unified content view of the multi-model collaboration space, wherein the unified content view presents the contextually related content from the multi-model collaboration space.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing meeting roster awareness for participants in a conference. An example system configured to practice this method can first identify participants in a conference, and retrieve, from a source external to the conference, information describing relationships between the participants. Then the system can compute, based on the information, a relationship graph assigning a relationship strength for at least two of the participants. The system provides an indication of the relationship strength to one of the participants, such as providing an indication of relationships of which other participants are not aware. Sources external to the conference can include a social network, a communication history, an organizational chart, a directory, or group membership, for example.
