Method and system for media playback architecture
First Claim
1. A system configured to playback videoconference data, comprising:
- a media management server configured to receive videoconference data associated with a videoconference session, the media management server configured to convert the videoconference data to a common format for storage on a storage media;
an event database configured to capture events occurring during the videoconference session;
a media analysis server configured to analyze the stored videoconference data to insert indices representing the captured events of the event database; and
a media playback unit configured to establish a connection with the media management server, the media playback unit further configured to enable position control of a video stream delivered to the media playback unit from the media management server while maintaining the connection.

8. A videoconferencing system, comprising:
-
a server component including a media server configured to store both video/audio data and events associated with a videoconference session, the media server capable of analyzing the stored video/audio data to insert markers into the stored video/audio data, the markers identifying the events;
a client component including a client in communication with a client monitor, the client component including a media playback unit configured to establish a connection with the media server, the media playback unit further configured to enable position control of a video stream defined from the stored video/audio data delivered to the media playback unit from the media server while maintaining the connection; and
a first and second path defined between the client component and the server component, the first path enabling real time video/audio data to be exchanged between the client component and a conferencing endpoint of the server component during a videoconference, the second path defined between the client component and the server component enabling system information to be exchanged between the client monitor and the server component. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A graphical user interface (GUI) for playback of videoconference data rendered on a display screen, comprising:
-
a first region defining an integrated audio/video component corresponding to a time position of a video stream associated with the videoconference data, the integrated audio/video component associated with a media server;
a second region providing a document file corresponding to the time position of the video stream;
a third region providing a media presentation corresponding to the time position of the video stream; and
a fourth region providing a list of content items associated with the video stream, wherein a selection of one of the content items triggers the first, second and third region to present respective videoconference data corresponding to a time position associated with the one of the content items. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A method for presenting stored videoconference data, comprising:
-
converting media formats associated with a videoconference presentation to a common format videoconference data;
storing the common format videoconference data;
identifying events associated with the stored videoconference data;
inserting markers representing the events into the stored videoconference data; and
presenting segments of the stored videoconference data corresponding to the markers. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

23. The computer readable medium of claim 22, wherein the markers correspond to starting time positions of the events.
-
24. The computer readable medium of claim 22, wherein the program instructions for presenting segments of the stored videoconference data corresponding to the markers includes,
program instructions for maintaining a same connection for each of the segments being presented.
-
25. The computer readable medium of claim 22, wherein the program instructions for presenting segments of the stored videoconference data corresponding to the markers includes,
program instructions for advancing from a location associated with a first segment of the stored video content being presented to a starting position of a second segment while maintaining a connection for both the first segment and second segment.
-
26. The computer readable medium of claim 22, further comprising:
program instructions for selecting segments of the stored videoconference data for presentation.
