    摘要: In one embodiment, a collaboration node prioritizes each modality of communication accessible by at least a first user and a second user based on one or more communication characteristics in a collaboration profile, monitors communication characteristics of a communication session conducted in a first modality of communication between the first user and the second user, and determines a second modality of communication accessible to the first user and the second user having a higher priority than the first modality of communication based on the collaboration profile and the communication characteristics for the communication session. The collaboration node further notifies at least one of the first user or the second user when the second modality of communication has the higher priority than the first modality of communication.

    摘要: The disclosed technology relates to a process for automatically training a machine learning algorithm to recognize a custom wake word. By using different text-to-speech services, input providing a custom wake word to a text to speech service can be used in order to generate different speech samples covering different variations in how the custom wake word can be pronounced. These samples are automatically generated and are subsequently used to train the wake word detection algorithm that will be used by the computing device to recognize and detect when the custom wake word is uttered by any user nearby a computing device for the purposes of initiating a virtual assistant. In a further embodiment, “white-listed” words (e.g different words that are pronounced similar to the custom wake word) are also identified and trained in order to minimize the occurrence of erroneously initiating the virtual assistant.

    摘要: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for a solution that selects an appropriate communication profile for the user. A system is configured to receive motion data from a client device associated with a user, identify a communication profile for the user based on the motion data, administer collaboration requests for the user based on settings associated with the communication profile, track user actions based on the administration of the collaboration requests, and update settings for the active communication profile based on the user actions.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for directing conferences to on-premises media agents and cloud-based media agents. A centralized controller and a plurality of cloud-based media agents are disposed within a cloud or other remote or virtual network, and a plurality of on-premises media agents are provided on-premises. The centralized controller manages the directing and forwarding of conferences and is in communication with the cloud-based media agents and the on-premises media agents.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a computer implemented method for a dynamic content positioning on a display of an electronic device based on available display space comprises: receiving, at a first computer, shared content that a second computer has shared with a plurality of computers; displaying the shared content on a display of the first computer in a shared area; receiving, at the first computer, self-view content from a camera coupled to the first computer; selecting a first area of the display of the first computer; determining whether the first area overlaps the shared area; in response to determining that the first area overlaps the shared area, determining whether the display has an available different area that does not overlap the shared area and that has a specified size, and in response to determining such an available different area, displaying the self-view image content in the available different area.

    摘要: A server or other computing device manages meetings in a virtual meeting room on behalf of a virtual meeting room owner. A request is received from an attendee to join a meeting in the virtual meeting room. A determination is made, based on configurations set by the virtual meeting room owner, whether to connect the attendee to a virtual waiting room. The attendee is connected to the virtual waiting room in accordance with the configurations set by the virtual meeting room owner.
