Participant scoring and selection for conferencing system
The granted patent US12074924B2 outlines a sophisticated conferencing system designed to enhance the organization and management of virtual meetings within a computer network. Central to this system is a conference server that prepares and sends invitations based on information provided by a conference host, including the conference topic. The system features a database containing participant details, which is utilized by a search engine equipped with a participant scoring engine. This engine evaluates participants based on their attributes—such as education, work experience, and prior conference involvement—to determine their suitability for the conference. The conference server automatically sends invitations to participants deemed appropriate according to predetermined scoring criteria. Additionally, if an invited participant cannot attend, the system can select alternate participants from their group or a related group.
The patent further details a method for conducting conferences that involves the conference host providing information to the server, which then queries the search engine to assess participant suitability. The scoring engine not only filters participants but also generates scores based on their attributes and the conference topic. The system is designed to handle participant responses, including accepting or declining invitations, and can automatically seek alternate participants if necessary. Moreover, it allows for continuous updates to participant attributes and can adjust conference scheduling based on participant availability. This innovative approach aims to streamline the process of assembling the right participants for conferences, thereby improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of virtual meetings.
