Abstract

Disclosed is a conference monitoring system that classifies conversations and performs automated actions based on different context detected within the conversations. The system receives conversations that result in an unsuccessful engagement, classifies different segments of the conversations with contextual trackers that identify different context within each segment, and determines a recurring pattern of a common set of contextual trackers in different segments of the conversations that contribute to the unsuccessful engagement. The system monitors a particular conversation, tags one or more segments of the particular conversation with the common set of contextual trackers, and performs an automated action that contributes to a successful engagement in response to tagging the one or more segments with the common set of contextual trackers and the common set of contextual trackers contributing to the unsuccessful engagement.

Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-language translation system and associated methods that adapt to users speaking different languages, and that convert each spoken language to a target language. The system trains a neural network using audio of different speakers speaking different languages, and generates vectors with different sets of audio features that identify each of the different languages. The system receives an audio stream, transcribes a first snippet from a first language to the target language based on a first vector classifying the first audio snippet features to the first language, transcribes a second audio snippet from a new language to the target language based on the first vector being unable to classify the second audio snippet features to the first language, and transcribes a third audio snippet from a second language to the target language based on a second vector classifying the third audio snippet to the second language.

Abstract

An end-to-end encrypted communication system securely provides session keys for encrypted session history recovery for new members or reconnecting members of an encrypted session. The encrypted session history recovery adapts the end-to-end encryption for secure distribution of the encrypted content and session keys that were exchanged before the members connected to the encrypted session. The system receives encrypted content from a first member of the encrypted session during a first time when the first member is online and a second member of the encrypted session is offline and not connected to the encrypted session. The system detects that the second member comes online and connects to the encrypted session at a second time, and provides the second member with a session key associated with decrypting the encrypted content that was exchanged prior to the second member connecting to the encrypted session.

Abstract

A communication support system dynamically determines and presents to a conference participant the phonetic spelling for the proper pronunciation of a word associated with an individual engaging in a conversation with that conference participant prior to or during the establishment of the call, conference, or other communication session between the conference participant and the individual. The system receives an identifier that is associated with the identification or a device of that individual. The system retrieves the word associated with the individual based on a established correspondence between the identifier and the word, and maps the identifier to a region-of-origin. The system selects a set of entries that correspond different pronunciations of the word to different regions-of-origin, and presents, on a device of the conference participant, the proper pronunciation of the word from a particular entry of the set of entries that corresponds to region-of-origin.

Abstract

A multi-cluster environment improves the availability and performance of encryption messaging services by providing an in-order cross cluster replication of encryption messages. A first cluster and a second cluster of the multi-cluster environment receive messages with a session identifier for an encrypted session. The first and second clusters replicate the received messages across the multi-cluster environment. A third cluster of the multi-cluster environment detects a particular message from the replicated messages with a timestamp that is earlier than a timestamp of the other replicated messages, and defines a message sequence window with a subset of messages from the replicated messages arranged in an order that differs from an ordering with which the third cluster receives the replicated messages. The third cluster distributes the reordered subset of messages to endpoints of the encrypted session connected via the third cluster.

Abstract

Disclosed is an dynamic speech recognition system and associated methods for improving speech recognition accuracy by biasing, tuning, and/or otherwise adjusting a speech recognition model to account or compensate for different speech characteristics of individual speakers and/or different environmental factors that have different effects on the characteristics of the audio recorded from each speaker. The system receives an audio stream, identifies a speaker in the audio stream, selects a first vector that is generated by a first machine learning model and that encodes speech characteristics of the speaker, selects a second vector that is generated by a second machine learning model and that encodes audio characteristics that affect a capture of the audio stream, and adjusts a third machine learning model based on the first vector and the second vector. The system uses the third machine learning model after it is adjusted to convert speech into text.

Abstract

Disclosed is a system and associated methods for secure media stream distribution across different platforms associated with different Internet domains. A first node of a first platform receives a first request from a device, performs a first verification based on credentials provided by the device matching stored credentials, generates a first signed token, and provides the first signed token with a second link for the device to access the requested media stream from a second network node of a second platform. The second network node determines that the device was verified at the first network node based on a second stream request from the device including the first signed token, generates a second token that uniquely identifies the device in the second domain, and streams requested stream data to the device in response to performing a second verification based on requests for the stream data including the second token.

Abstract

Disclosed is a selective encryption system that selectively encrypts sensitive image data within frames of a video stream and compresses other insensitive image data within the frames in order to generate and distribute a partially encrypted video stream that protects the sensitive image data without the time, energy, resource, and size penalty associated with encrypting all image data in all frames of the video stream. The system parses a video stream image into different regions that each contain different image data. The system detects first regions that contain the sensitive image data, encrypts the sensitive image data in the first regions, and compresses the image data in other second regions without encryption. The system distributes a selectively encrypted frame of the video stream that includes the encrypted image data for the first regions and the compressed image data for second regions.

Abstract

Disclosed is a localized conference system and associated methods for performing a zero-configuration pairing of a first device and a second device. The pairing causes the first device to receive pairing codes that are transmitted from different devices in a wireless range of the first device. The pairing causes the first device to receive alphanumeric characters that are unique to a particular pairing code and that include less than all of the alphanumeric characters of the particular pairing code. The pairing causes the first device to decode a network address of the second device from the particular pairing code, and to establish a network connection with the second device using the network address that is decoded from the particular pairing code. The pairing causes the first device to remotely control the second device or a conference streaming through the second device with messaging passed through the network connection.

Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-language translation system and associated methods that adapt to users speaking different languages, and that convert each spoken language to a target language. The system trains a neural network using audio of different speakers speaking different languages, and generates vectors with different sets of audio features that identify each of the different languages. The system receives an audio stream, transcribes a first snippet from a first language to the target language based on a first vector classifying the first audio snippet features to the first language, transcribes a second audio snippet from a new language to the target language based on the first vector being unable to classify the second audio snippet features to the first language, and transcribes a third audio snippet from a second language to the target language based on a second vector classifying the third audio snippet to the second language.

Abstract

Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for mitigating network resource contention. Event scheduling details are received regarding one or more virtual events. In response to determining that an upcoming virtual event will begin within a predetermined time threshold, various steps are performed. First, a predicted number of event participants is determined. Next, database artifacts associated with the upcoming virtual event are prefetched. Then static event display resources are accessed prior to a start of the upcoming virtual event, and the database artifacts and the static event display resources are cached. A network protocol request to access network resources is received from a client device. The database artifacts and the static event display resources are pushed to a client-side cache associated with the client device, and a minimal network response is transmitted to the client device.

Abstract

A method includes receiving an input data from a host to schedule a meeting. The input data may include invitees to the meeting and a time/date associated with the meeting. A first and a second set of invitees from the invitees are determined. The first set of invitees is identified to start a pre-meeting meeting prior to the meeting scheduled at the time/date. The second set of invitees is identified to start the meeting at the time/date. It is appreciated that the pre-meeting meeting and the meeting are merged into a single meeting at a predetermined threshold of time.
