Abstract
Methods and apparatus may permit the manipulation of conferenced data. Primary sequenced audio-optical data structures may be populated with conferenced data, and secondary sequenced audio-optical data structures may be populated with derivative conferenced data. Electronic identity characteristics may be utilized to selectively deny access of conference participants to an exchange of conferenced electronic communications, verify the identity of prospective conference participants to an exchange of conferenced electronic communications, and verify the identity of known and unknown individuals in conjunction with electronic identity signatures. Conferenced data tags may be associated to conferenced data elements to create derivative conferenced data. Derivative conferenced data may be utilized in conjunction with primary conferenced data structures and secondary conferenced data structures to create augmented functionalities for conferenced data elements.

485. A method for processing conferenced data comprising the steps of:
-
creating an electronic identity signature for a known individual having a byte order arrangement; pre-storing said electronic identity signature for said known individual having a byte order arrangement in an electronic memory; automatically initiating conferenced electronic communications among a plurality of prospective conference participants; automatically capturing at least one electronic identity characteristic of each of said plurality of prospective conference participants having a byte order representation; automatically comparing said byte order representation of said electronic identity characteristic of each of said plurality of prospective conference participants to said byte order arrangement of said electronic identity signature for said known individual; automatically verifying the identity of each of said plurality of prospective conference participants based on said step of automatically comparing; terminating communication with any prospective conference participant whose identity is not successfully verified; exchanging conferenced electronic communications among a plurality of remaining conference participants; creating a byte order representation of at least one conferenced data element of said exchanged conferenced electronic communications; associating a conferenced data tag to said conferenced data element of said exchanged conferenced electronic communications having a byte order representation; creating derivative conferenced data having a byte order arrangement as a result of said step of associating a conferenced data tag to said conferenced data element of said exchanged conferenced electronic communications having a byte order representation. - View Dependent Claims (486, 487, 488, 489)

495. A method for selectively denying access to conferenced electronic communications comprising the steps of:
-
automatically detecting at least one conference participant to an exchange of conferenced electronic communications; automatically capturing at least one electronic identity characteristic of said at least one conference participant to said exchange of conferenced electronic communications; automatically analyzing said at least one captured electronic identity characteristic of said at least one conference participant to said exchange of conferenced electronic communications; automatically selectively denying access to said at least one conference participant to said exchange of conferenced electronic communications based on said step of automatically analyzing said at least one captured electronic identity characteristic.

513. A method for completing an exchange of conferenced electronic communications comprising the steps of:
-
automatically initiating conferenced electronic communications among a plurality of prospective conference participants; automatically capturing at least one electronic identity characteristic of each of said plurality of prospective conference participants to said initiated exchange of conferenced electronic communications; automatically analyzing each said captured electronic identity characteristic of each of said plurality of prospective conference participants to said initiated exchange of conferenced electronic communications; automatically verifying the identity of each of said plurality of prospective conference participants based on said step of automatically analyzing each said captured electronic identity characteristic; automatically completing said initiated conferenced electronic communications only among said prospective conference participants whose identity has been successfully verified.

539. A method for creating derivative conferenced data comprising the steps of:
-
exchanging conferenced electronic communications among a plurality of conference participants; identifying at least one conferenced data element within said exchange of conferenced electronic communications; associating a conferenced data tag to said at least one identified conferenced data element within said exchange of conferenced electronic communications; creating derivative conferenced data as a result of said step of associating a conferenced data tag to said at least one identified conferenced data element within said exchange of conference electronic communications. - View Dependent Claims (540, 541, 542, 543, 544, 545, 546, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 552, 553, 554, 555, 556, 557, 558, 559, 560)
