Frictionless handoff of audio content playing using overlaid ultrasonic codes

In a frictionless handoff of audio content playing, a client device listens for ultrasonic audio. The client hears a playing of a modified audio content by another client device, which includes audio content and an ultrasonic audio quick response (QR) code overlaid on the audio content. The ultrasonic audio QR code includes location information corresponding to a location in the audio content. The client device extracts the ultrasonic audio QR code from the modified audio content. After determining that the playing of the modified audio content has stopped, the client device receives a command to resume playing of the audio content on the client device. In, response to the command, the client device retrieves location information in a last extracted ultrasonic audio QR code and plays the audio content starting at a location in the audio content corresponding to the location information in the last extracted ultrasonic audio QR code.

A communication control device is configured to control data communication between terminals using a communication network. The communication control device include: a status-information acquiring unit configured to acquire respective pieces of status information which represent operating states of the terminals; a reception-information acquiring unit configured to acquire respective pieces of reception information which represent states of the communication network when the terminals have received data; a communication determining unit configured to determine a type of communication on the basis of a combination of pieces of status information of multiple terminals that participate in the same communication; and a quality control unit configured to control quality of data that each terminal transmits or receives on the basis of the determined type of communication and the acquired reception information.

BREAKOUT OF PARTICIPANTS IN A CONFERENCE CALL
20230007063 · 2023-01-05 ·

Systems and methods for creating and managing a breakout conference for a primary conference are disclosed. The system monitors communications between participants of a primary conference to determine if a) participants have a disagreement that needs to be resolved or b) if a topic from the meeting agenda requires additional time for discussion. Participant language, including negations and repetitive word usage, job profiles, body language, overlapping voice signals, among other factors, are monitored to determine if a disagreement exists. If a disagreement exists or additional time is required, the system automatically creates a virtual breakout session, determines the topic that created the disagreement, determines participants associated with the disagreed topic, and moves them to the breakout session. The system also provides meeting tools such that participants in the primary conference may communicate and alert participants in the breakout session, and vice versa, without leaving their respective sessions.

Optimizing network resources usage by dynamically controlling media bursts in simultaneous push to talk over cellular (POC) calls

Optimal network resource consumption by dynamically controlling media bursts in Simultaneous PoC (Push-To-X (Push-To-Voice/Video/etc.) Over Cellular) calls. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to wireless communication networks, and more particularly to PoC calls performed using wireless communication networks. Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for optimal network resource consumption by dynamically controlling media bursts, when a user is participating in simultaneous PoC sessions. Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for optimal network resource consumption by enabling a user to selectively enable/disable multiple PoC sessions using MBCP “Activate” and “Deactivate” messages.

DYNAMIC PRIORITIZATION OF COLLABORATION BETWEEN HUMAN AND VIRTUAL AGENTS
20220400091 · 2022-12-15 ·

A method of dynamic prioritization of collaboration between human and virtual agents according to an embodiment includes generating a priority score for a conversation between a human user and a chat bot, wherein the priority score is based on at least a sentiment of the human user and a temporal aspect of the conversation, providing the priority score to a human agent via an interface for monitoring the priority score, transferring control of the conversation from the chat bot to the human agent based on an interaction of the human agent with the interface, and yielding control of the conversation from the human agent back to the chat bot in response to another interaction of the human agent with the interface.

Cloud-based communication system for monitoring and facilitating collaboration sessions

A cloud-based communication system for monitoring a collaboration session. Based on the monitoring, the system identifies a collaboration event that indicates desirability of a break or that a digression from a session topic has or is occurring. When a collaboration event is identified, a prompt is communicated to the facilitator of the collaboration session. The collaboration event may be defined in a variety of ways such as participant fatigue, participant distraction, or the like. The system provides the facilitator with actions to be initiated by the system (automatically or in response to facilitator/user input) to respond to an identified communication event. The actions include initiating a break, acting to avoid or reduce session digressions, and creating a highlight reel of the collaboration session, including a number of unique features enabling more efficient retrieval and/or review of data. A distracted or fatigued participant can be directed to access the highlight reel.

INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
20230102708 · 2023-03-30 ·

An information processing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided in the present disclosure. The method includes performing communication based on a communication group, and obtaining a first sharing operation of a target identification (ID) for data corresponding to a first hardware resource, where the first hardware resource belongs to an electronic device corresponding to the target ID, and the target ID belongs to the communication group; based on the first sharing operation, determining at least one sharing ID from the communication group, where the at least one sharing ID is a part of IDs in the communication group; and in response to the first sharing operation and in a process of performing the communication based on the communication group, sharing the data corresponding to the first hardware resource with a terminal device corresponding to the at least one sharing ID in real time.

NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
20230103062 · 2023-03-30 · ·

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process including: receiving registration of information on a meeting including plural agendas, information on participants who participate in each of the plural agendas, information on a scheduled start time and a scheduled end time of each of the plural agendas, and information on a document used for each of the plural agendas; receiving start and end of each of the plural agendas; and notifying participants of a progress status while an agenda of the plural agendas is in progress, the progress status being based on a display state of a document scheduled to be used in the agenda, the participants being scheduled to participate in agendas subsequent to the agenda currently in progress.

Managing Communication Sessions and Communication Channels

System, apparatus, and methods are described for monitoring communication sessions and determining to merge two or more of the communication sessions sharing a common ground into a common communication session.
