Abstract

In one embodiment, the systems and methods detect audio content shared during a collaboration session; detect a participant associated with originating the audio content; store or record audio content; and automatically associate the audio content with the participant.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting audio content shared during a collaboration session;

detecting a participant associated with originating the audio content; and

automatically associating the audio content with the participant.

2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising recording a representation of the audio content and information identifying the participant.

3. The method according to claim 2 wherein recording occurs during the collaboration session.

4. The method according to claim 1 further comprising forming a textual representation of the audio content.

5. The method according to claim 4 further comprising storing the textual representation and information identifying the participant.

6. The method according to claim 5 further comprising displaying the textual representation and the information identifying the participant.

7. The method according to claim 6 further comprising displaying an additional textual representation and information identifying an additional participant wherein the additional textual representation is associated with the additional participant.

8. The method according to claim 1 further comprising detecting additional audio content associate with an additional participant.

9. The method according to claim 1 wherein the collaboration session is attended by multiple participants.

10. A system, comprising:

a content detection module configured to detect content that is shared during a collaboration session and to detect a participant originating the content;

a time stamp module configured to assign a time stamp to the content as the content is shared during the collaboration session; and

a storage module configured to store the content and the time stamp.

11. The system according to claim 10 further comprising a collaboration session detection module configured to detect the collaboration session.

12. The system according to claim 10 further comprising a content recording module configured to record the content associated with the collaboration session and to record the participant associated with the content.

13. The system according to claim 10 further comprising a text archive module configured to detect a text message from the content.

14. The system according to claim 13 wherein the text archive module is further configured to separate the text message into sub-messages.

15. The system according to claim 10 wherein the content detection module is configured to identify a content type based on the content.

16. The system according to claim 15 wherein the content type is an audio transmission.

17. The system according to claim 15 wherein the content type is a graphical transmission.

18. The system according to claim 15 wherein the content type is a textual transmission.

19. A system comprising:

means for detecting audio content shared during a collaboration session;

means for detecting a participant associated with originating the audio content; and

means for automatically associating the audio content with the participant.
