System and method for facilitating cognitive processing of simultaneous remote voice conversations
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating cognitive processing of simultaneous remote voice conversations, comprising:
- a communication module configured to receive a plurality of remote voice conversations between distributed participants provided over a shared communications channel;
a floor module to identify from within the remote voice conversations each of a main conversation between at least two of the distributed participants and one or more subconversations between at least two other of the distributed participants;
an identification module to define segments of interest to one of the distributed participants comprising a conversation excerpt having a lower attention activation threshold for the one distributed participant;
an analysis module to parse each of the subconversations into live conversation excerpts and to compare the live conversation excerpts to the segments of interest;
a gap prediction module to continually monitor the main conversation and to predict one or more gaps between conversation flow in the main conversation; and
an injection module to selectively inject the live conversation excerpts into the gaps of the main conversation as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating cognitive processing of simultaneous remote voice conversations is provided. A plurality of remote voice conversations participated in by distributed participants are provided over a shared communication channel. A main conversation between at least two of the distributed participants and one or more subconversations between at least two other of the distributed participants are identified from within the remote voice conversations. Segments of interest to one of the distributed participants are defined including a conversation excerpt having a lower attention activation threshold for the one distributed participant. Each of the subconversations is parsed into conversation excerpts. The conversation excerpts are compared to the segments of interest. One or more gaps between conversation flow in the main conversation are predicted. Segments of interest are selectively injected into the gaps of the main conversation as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel.

-
participating in a plurality of remote voice conversations between distributed participants provided over a shared communications channel; identifying from within the remote voice conversations each of a main conversation between at least two of the distributed participants and one or more subconversations between at least two other of the distributed participants; defining segments of interest to one of the distributed participants comprising a conversation excerpt having a lower attention activation threshold for the one distributed participant; parsing each of the subconversations into live conversation excerpts and comparing the live conversation excerpts to the segments of interest; continually monitoring the main conversation and predicting one or more gaps between conversation flow in the main conversation; and selectively injecting the live conversation excerpts into the gaps of the main conversation as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for providing conversation excerpts to a participant from simultaneous remote voice conversations, comprising:
-
a communication module configured to receive a plurality of remote voice conversations between distributed participants provided over a shared communications channel; a floor module to identify from within the remote voice conversations each of a main conversation in which one of the distributed participants is actively involved and one or more subconversations between at least two other of the distributed participants; an identification module to define segments of interest to the one of the distributed participants comprising a conversation excerpt having a lower attention activation threshold for the one distributed participant; a sound module to mute the subconversations as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel; an analysis module to parse each of the subconversations into live conversation excerpts and to compare the live conversation excerpts to the segments of interest; a gap prediction module to continually monitor the main conversation and to predict one or more gaps between conversation flow in the main conversation; and an injection module to selectively inject the live conversation excerpts into the gaps of the main conversation as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for providing conversation excerpts to a participant from simultaneous remote voice conversations, comprising:
-
actively participating in a plurality of remote voice conversations between distributed participants provided over a shared communications channel; identifying from within the remote voice conversations each of a main conversation in which one of the distributed participants is actively involved and one or more subconversations between at least two other of the distributed participants; defining segments of interest to the one of the distributed participants comprising a conversation excerpt having a lower attention activation threshold for the one distributed participant; muting the subconversations as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel; parsing each of the subconversations into live conversation excerpts and comparing the live conversation excerpts to the segments of interest; continually monitoring the main conversation and predicting one or more gaps between conversation flow in the main conversation; and selectively injecting the live conversation excerpts into the gaps of the main conversation as provided to the one distributed participant over the shared communications channel. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
