Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method for executing application code to connect with a voice based networking website, the method includes connecting at least a user in a conference through the voice based networking website. The information provided by at least the user is appended in a conversation after the conference is over. The appended information is displayed in the voice based networking website as per a timestamp.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

connecting a plurality of users using a plurality of user devices executing a conferencing application to a conference through a voice based networking website;

recording at the plurality of user devices by the conferencing application, a plurality of speech elements for a voice conversation between the plurality of users;

displaying through the voice based networking website the voice conversation pertaining to the conference;

displaying the conversation comprising displaying a sequence of the plurality of speech elements of the plurality of users of the conference, the sequence of speech elements ordered according to an originating timestamp of the respective speech element at which the respective speech element was recorded, displaying the sequence of the plurality of speech elements comprising adding, by the conferencing application on the device, the recorded speech element to the voice based networking website;

for one or more of the plurality of speech elements;

automatically analyzing the respective speech element by the application as the speech element is recorded by the application to determine a topic;

automatically searching the user device by the application for media relating to the topic;

automatically uploading the media from the device to the website; and

displaying the media in the conversation;

appending at least an information provided by at least one of the plurality of the users in a conversation after the conference is over; and

displaying the appended information in the voice based networking website as an insert between two speech elements of the sequence of speech elements;

wherein at least one of the plurality of users is allowed to search and review the conversation before and after at least the appended information so as to understand the conversation element as it occurred.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the conversation is stored according to the timestamp, allowing the conversation to be modified, updated and presented in the social network website.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein at least the user receives a notification that at least the information is available.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user is provided an ability to attach at least a media file to the conversation.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the conversation includes at least a voice conversation and at least a text conversation.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the appended information further comprising generating at least a tag after analyzing the conversation and filtering at least a word from the analyzed conversation.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the tag includes at least a media file.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the media file inserted in voice based networking website may be linked with at least an URL, a tag, a shortcut to another file.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the application scans most relevant media file in at least the user profile to link the tag as per at least the filtered word from the analyzed conversation.

10. The method of claim 6, further comprising using at least the filtered word from the analyzed conversation and scanning most relevant media file from a database.

11. A device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory communicably coupled to the processor and storing instructions to configure the device to analyze computer code via operations comprising;

connect a plurality of users using a plurality of user devices executing a conferencing application to a conference through the voice based networking website;

record at the plurality of user devices by the conferencing application, a plurality of speech elements for a voice conversation between the plurality of users;

display through the voice based networking website the voice conversation pertaining to the conference, the display of the conversation comprising a sequence of the plurality of speech elements of the plurality of users of the conference, the sequence of speech elements ordered according to an originating timestamp of the respective speech element at which the respective speech element was recorded, displaying the sequence of the plurality of speech elements comprising adding, by the conferencing application on the device, the recorded speech element to the voice based networking website;

for one or more of the plurality of speech elements;

automatically analyze the respective speech element by the application as the speech element is recorded by the application to determine a topic;

automatically search the user device for media relating to the topic;

automatically upload the media from the device to the website; and

display the media in the conversation;

append at least an information provided by at least one of the plurality of the users in a conversation after the conference is over; and

display the appended information in the voice based networking website as an insert between two speech elements of the sequence of speech elements;

wherein at least one of the plurality of users is allowed to search and review the conversation before and after at least the appended information so as to understand the conversation element as it occurred.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the conversation is stored according to the timestamp, allowing the conversation to be modified, updated and presented in the social network website.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to notify at least the user that at least the information is updated.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein the processor comprises sharing at least the information with all the communication devices as configured by the user.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein displaying the appended information further comprising generating at least a tag after analyzing the conversation and filtering at least a word from the analyzed conversation.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein the tag displayed in the voice based networking website includes at least a media file.

17. The device of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to scan at least a most relevant media file from the user profile to link the tag.

18. The device of claim 17, further comprising using at least the filtered word from the analyzed conversation and scanning most relevant media file from a database.

19. A computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, the computer-executable instructions upon execution configuring a computer to perform operations for executing application code to connect with a voice based networking website comprising, the computer-readable medium comprising code for:

connecting a plurality of users using a plurality of user devices executing a conferencing application to a conference through the voice based networking website;

recording at the plurality of user devices by the conferencing application, a plurality of speech elements for a voice conversation between the plurality of users;

displaying through the voice based networking website the voice conversation pertaining to the conference, displaying the conversation comprising displaying a sequence of the plurality of speech elements of the plurality of users of the conference, the sequence of speech elements ordered according to an originating timestamp of the respective speech element at which the respective speech element was recorded, displaying the sequence of the plurality of speech elements comprising adding, by the conferencing application on the device, the recorded speech element to the voice based networking website;

for one or more of the plurality of speech elements;

automatically analyzing the respective speech element by the application as the speech element is recorded by the application to determine a topic;
