  • Patent number: 9837077
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for converting live presentations into electronic media and managing captured media assets for distribution. An exemplary system includes capture devices that capture media assets of live presentations comprising a session, including image data of sequentially presented visual aids accompanying the live presentations and audio data. Each capture device has an interface for real-time image data marking of the image data for identification of individual images and session marking of the image data for demarcation of individual presentations of the session. A centralized device processes the captured media assets and automatically divides the captured media assets into discrete files associated with the individual presentations based on the session markings. An administrative tool manages the processed media assets to produce modified presentations and enables modification of the visual aid images identified by the image data markings.

  • Patent number: 6789228
    Abstract: A system is provided that automatically digitally captures lecture presentation slides and speech and stores the data in a memory. This system also prepares this information for Internet publication and publishes it on the Internet for distribution to end-users. The system generally comprises three main functions: (1) capturing the lecture and storing it into a computer memory or database, (2) generating a transcript from the lecture and the presentation slides and automatically summarizing and outlining the transcripts, and (3) publishing the lecture slides image data, audio data, and transcripts on the Internet for use by client computers. The system synchronizes the slide image data, audio data and the transcripts, and the clients can view and search the published lecture presentation from a slide image projector to a digital camera for digital image data capture.
