Providing information to user during video conference

摘要

A consumer electronics (CE) device is configured to execute a conferencing application for a user to audibly communicate with at least one other person at least through a first audible input configuration configured for providing audio from the user to the other person. While executing the conferencing application, the CE device receives an audible input configuration command to change from the first audible input configuration to a second audible input configuration that is configured to not provide audio from the user to the other person and is also configured for receiving audible CE device commands from the user. In the second audible input configuration, the CE device thus receives audible commands from the user to either access information and provide the information to the user, and/or to initiate a note taking feature that converts audio from the user to text for viewing of the text on the CE device.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
at least one computer readable storage medium that is not a transitory signal and that includes instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to: execute a conferencing application on a CE device, wherein the conferencing application is configured for a user of the conferencing application to at least audibly communicate with at least one other person using the conferencing application at least through a first audible input configuration, the first audible input configuration configured for providing audio from the user to the other person using the conferencing application; receive at least one audible command at the CE device, the audible command causing the processor to initiate a note taking feature of the CE device, the note taking feature configured for converting audio to text for viewing the text on a display of the CE device; present at least one user interface (UI) on the display of the CE device, the UI including: a note taking option with at least one selector selectable to invoke at least one option related to taking notes based on audible signals through a microphone of the CE device, the UI including a read back selector selectable to cause the CE device to automatically read back notes once received audibly and converted to text.
