Abstract

In one embodiment, the systems and methods detect a data file wherein the data file includes archived content utilized during a collaboration session; select a portion of the archived content within the data file based on a search term; and identify additional content utilized during the collaboration session that is associated with the portion of the archived content.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting a data file that corresponds to content utilized during a collaboration session;

identifying a search term within the data file; and

identifying a first time stamp corresponding to a portion of the data file associated with the search term.

2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising searching the data file for the search term.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the data file includes textual data.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the data file includes audio data.

5. The method according to claim 1 further comprising identifying additional content exclusive of the data file corresponding with the first time stamp wherein the additional content is utilized during the collaboration session.

6. The method according to claim 5 wherein the additional content contains graphical data.

7. The method according to claim 5 wherein the additional content contains textual data.

8. The method according to claim 5 wherein the additional content contains audio data.
