Generating electronic summaries of online meetings

摘要

An improved technique of organizing content of online meetings involves generating an electronic summary based on a textual metadata derived from content presented in an online meeting. An online meeting server collects content such as audio, video, and slide files presented in a particular online meeting. From metadata associated with such content, the online meeting server generates an electronic summary of the particular online meeting which includes a textual description of the content. The online meeting server then stores the electronic summary and the content presented in the particular online meeting in a repository that is configured to store content from other online meetings.
