Temporally-correlated activity streams for conferences

摘要

Techniques are provided for capturing events and activities that occur during a conference, generating metadata related to the events, and correlating the metadata with specific points in time, within the conference, at which the corresponding events occurred. The resulting temporally-correlated event metadata may be stored as part of the conference recording, or separate from the conference recording. Once the temporally-correlated event metadata has been stored for a conference, the conference may be indexed based on the metadata. The index may then be used to not only to locate a conference that satisfies specified search criteria, but to identify the points or snippets, within the conference, that correspond to the search criteria.

1. A method comprising:
obtaining a recording of a conference; obtaining at least a first activity record created by a first source involved in the conference; wherein the first activity record conveys information about a first activity that occurred at a first time period during the conference; obtaining at least a second activity record created by a second source that is not involved in the conference and is not involved in the recording of the conference; wherein the second activity record conveys information about a second activity that occurred at a second time period during recording of the conference; generating and maintaining a conference record of the conference; wherein the conference record:
associates the first activity record and the second activity record with the conference; andtemporally correlates the recording of the conference, the first activity record, and the second activity record; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
