Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for guiding one or more interactions conducted via a telepresence system implemented using a computer system, comprising:
receiving information at the computer system, wherein
the information comprises
participant information for each participant of a plurality of participants in a telepresence event conducted using the telepresence system;

determining one or more participant attributes of each participant of the plurality of participants from the participant information;
determining an affinity metric value for the each participant of the plurality of participants, using the one or more participant attributes of the each participant of the plurality of participants;
generating a participant behavioral model, wherein
the participant behavioral model is generated based, at least in part, on participant behavioral information for one or more of the each participant of the plurality of participants;

assigning at least one participant of the plurality of participants to each of one or more subgroups, wherein
the at least one participant is assigned to the each of the one or more subgroups based, at least in part, on
the affinity metric values as between the at least one of the plurality of participants and another participant of the plurality of participants, and
engagement score information,

the affinity metric is a measure of affinity between ones of the plurality of participants, and
the affinity metric is based, at least in part, on the affinity metric values;

guiding participation of the each participant of the plurality of participants by controlling one or more components of the telepresence system, based, at least in part, on the assigning;
generating updated engagement score information for the one or more of the each participant of the plurality of participants, wherein
the updated engagement score information is based, at least in part, on the engagement score information; and

updating the participant behavioral model, wherein
the participant behavioral model is updated based, at least in part, on the updated engagement score information.
