[0001] The present invention relates generally to social analytics using computer systems, and more particularly to analysis of meeting content and agendas by computer systems.
[0002] Management of informative meetings includes generating agendas and scheduling informative subjects and presentations. Often, content of a presentation is duplicated at one or more meetings due to poor management of the meetings (e.g. due to improperly generated agendas or improperly scheduled subjects and/or presentation titles). Thus, people attending the meetings may find that they have attended previous meetings with similar agendas, subjects, or presentations.
[0003] One method of meeting management is to select participants for a meeting based on comparison between profiles of the participation candidates and meeting topic keywords, and next to determine whether the participation candidates are invited to a current meeting or a future meeting. Another method allows for the detection of similar multiple events using event characteristics and the consolidation of similar multiple events into a new event with an adjusted schedule.
[0004] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, computer program product, and computer system for analysis of meeting content and agendas. A computer system receives meeting information of a first meeting. The computer system searches one or more second meetings matching the first meeting. The computer system retrieves meeting information of the one or more second meetings. The computer system analyzes the meeting information of the first meeting and the meeting information of the one or more second meetings. The computer system acquires one or more presentation documents of the first meeting and one or more presentation documents of the one or more second meetings. The computer system analyzes the one or more presentation documents of the first meeting and the one or more presentation documents of the one or more second meetings. And, the computer system presents comparison between the first meeting and the one or more second meetings.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating meeting content and agenda analysis system 100, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Meeting content and agenda analysis system 100 includes calendar analysis program 110, calendar program 120, database 130, voice to text program 140, and contextual analysis program 150. Calendar program 120 is a calendar and day planner program which has entries of meetings. Database 130 is a database for storing meeting information (e.g. agendas) and documents (e.g. presentation files at the meetings). Calendar analysis program 110 is for analysis of the meeting information and meeting documents. Calendar analysis program 110 searches entries of calendar program 120 and/or database 130 to find one or more previous meetings. Calendar analysis program 110 retrieves from database 130 the meeting information and documents. Calendar analysis program 110 analyzes the meeting information and documents of a current meeting and the one or more previous meetings. Calendar analysis program 110 presents to a user results of the analysis and comparison between the current meeting and the one or more previous meetings. Calendar analysis program 110 receives from a user changes to the current meeting and then makes the changes on calendar program 120. When analyzing voice recordings of meeting presentations, calendar analysis program 110 uses voice-to-text program 140. Voice-to-text program 140 converts the voice recordings to text documents. When the text documents are compared, calendar analysis program 110 uses contextual analysis program 150.
[0020] In the exemplary embodiment, meeting content and agenda analysis system 100 is hosted by a computer device. In other embodiments, components of meeting content and agenda analysis system 100, namely calendar analysis program 110, calendar program 120, database 130, voice to text program 140, and contextual analysis program 150, may be separately hosted by multiple computer devices which are connected by a network.
[0021] In the exemplary embodiment, the computer device hosting meeting content and agenda analysis system 100 may be a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a handheld device, a smartphone, a thin client, or any other electronic device or computing system capable of receiving input from a user, executing computer program instructions. An exemplary computer device hosting meeting content and agenda analysis system 100 is described in more detail in later paragraphs with reference to FIG. 6, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating operational steps of analysis of meeting content and agendas, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The operational steps of analysis of meeting content and agendas are implemented by calendar analysis program 110 shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 2, at step 201, calendar analysis program 110 receives meeting information of a current meeting, e.g. an agenda of the current meeting. Calendar analysis program 110 may retrieve the meeting information of the current meeting from calendar program 120 or database 130 (shown in FIG. 1), or may receive from input by a user. The meeting information of the current meeting, e.g. the agenda of the current meeting, may include a subject, a presentation title, a speaker of the presentation title, and an invitee list of the current meeting. At decision block 203, calendar analysis program 110 makes a decision based on whether a user provides links to one or more previous meetings. In response to that the user provides the links of the one or more previous meetings (YES branch of decision block 203), at step 205, calendar analysis program 110 receives, from the user, the links to the one or more previous meetings.
[0023] In response to that the user does not input the links to the one or more previous meetings (NO branch of decision block 203), at step 207, calendar analysis program 110 searches, through searching entries of calendar program 120 and/or database 130, the one or more previous meetings that have subjects and presentation titles matching those of the current meeting. For example, searching the subjects and the presentation titles is conducted through searching keywords in the subject, the presentation title, or the presentation content of the current meeting and the one or more previous meetings. At decision block 209, calendar analysis program 110 determines whether the one or more previous meetings are found.
[0024] In response to that the one or more previous meetings are found (YES branch of decision block 209) or after receiving the links to the one or more previous meetings at step 205, at step 211, calendar analysis program 110 retrieves, from either calendar program 120 and/or database 130, the meeting information of the one or more previous meetings. The meeting information of the one or more previous meetings, e.g. agendas of the one or more previous meetings, may include subjects, presentation titles, speakers of the presentation titles, and attendee lists of the one or more previous meetings.
[0025] At decision block 213, calendar analysis program 110 makes a decision based on whether analysis of the meeting information of the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting is requested by a user. In response to that the user requests the analysis (YES branch of decision block 213), at step 215, calendar analysis program 110 analyzes the meeting information of the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting. For example, calendar analysis program 110 compares the invitee list of the current meeting with the attendee lists of the one or more previous meetings, and further determines how many invitees and/or what percentage of invitees of the current meeting are in the attendee lists of the one or more previous meetings and have already viewed presentations matching the presentation of the current meeting.
[0026] In response to that the user does not request the analysis (NO branch of decision block 213) or after step 215, calendar analysis program 110, at decision block 217, makes a decision based on whether analysis of presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting is requested by a user. In response to that the analysis of the presentation documents is requested by the user (YES branch of decision block 217), at step 219, calendar analysis program 110 acquires the presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting. Calendar analysis program 110 may retrieve the presentation documents stored on database 130 or other file storage systems. Calendar analysis program 110 may also request the user to input or upload the presentation documents. The presentation documents include text files, video files, audio files, charts, and other contents.
[0027] Referring to FIG. 2, at step 221, calendar analysis program 110 analyzes the presentation documents acquired at step 219. For example, in the analysis of the presentation documents, calendar analysis program 110 compares presentation documents of the current meeting with presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings. Through the comparison, calendar analysis program 110 determines differences and/or similarities between the presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings and the presentation documents of the current meeting. To analyze voice recordings in audio files or video files, calendar analysis program 110 uses voice to text program 140 (shown in FIG. 1). In analysis of text files, calendar analysis program 110 uses contextual analysis program 150 (shown in FIG. 1).
[0028] After step 221 or in response to that the analysis of the presentation documents is not requested by the user (NO branch of decision block 217), at step 223, calendar analysis program 110 presents comparison between the current meeting and the one or more previous meetings. For example, calendar analysis program 110 presents the comparison of the agendas of the current meeting and the one or more previous meetings, and calendar analysis program 110 presents analysis results for both the meeting information and the presentation documents if the analysis is conducted at step 215 or step 221.
[0029] After step 223 or in response to that the one or more previous meetings are not found (NO branch of decision block 209), calendar analysis program 110, at decision block 225, makes a decision based on whether the user requests changes to the current meeting. In response to that the user requests the changes (YES branch of decision block 225), calendar analysis program 110, at step 227, receives the changes from the user and makes the change on calendar program 120. In response to that the user does not request changes to the current meeting (NO branch of decision block 225), calendar analysis program 110 terminates the operation. In other embodiments, after step 227, calendar analysis program 110 may call one or more programs for editing presentation documents of the current meeting.
[0030] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a first example of analysis of meeting content and agendas, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the first example, calendar analysis program 110 is used by an organizer or a chairperson of a current meeting. At step 301, calendar analysis program 110 receives, from the organizer or the chairperson, meeting information which includes a subject, a presentation title, an invitee list, and a speaker of the current meeting. In this example, no links to previous meetings are provided by the user; therefore, at step 303, calendar analysis program 110 searches one or more previous meetings that have subjects and presentation titles matching those of the current meeting. The one or more previous meetings are searched through searching entries of calendar program 120 and/or database 130. Searching the subjects and the presentation titles is conducted through searching keywords in the subject, the presentation title, or the presentation content of the current meeting. At decision block 305, calendar analysis program 110 determines whether the one or more previous meetings are found. In response to that the one or more previous meetings are found (YES branch of decision block 305), at step 307, calendar analysis program 110 retrieves, from either calendar program 120 or database 130, meeting information of the one or more previous meetings. The meeting information of the one or more previous meetings includes presentation titles, attendee lists, and speakers of the one or more previous meetings. In this example, analysis of the meeting information of the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting is requested by the user. As an example of the analysis, calendar analysis program 110, at step 309, determines how many invitees of the current meeting have viewed presentation documents of the previous meetings. In this example, analysis of presentation documents is requested by the user; thus, at step 311, calendar analysis program 110, acquires presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting. For example, calendar analysis program 110 follows links provided in calendar program 120 to retrieve the presentation documents stored on database 130, or calendar analysis program 110 requests the user to input the presentation documents. At step 313, calendar analysis program 110 compares charts in the presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings with charts in the presentation documents of the current meeting. At step 315, calendar analysis program 110 determines differences between the presentation documents of the one or more previous meetings and the presentation documents of the current meeting. After analysis of the meeting information and presentation documents, calendar analysis program 110, at step 317, presents comparison between the current meeting and the one or more previous meetings.
[0031] Table 1 shows an example of a report generated by calendar analysis program 110. In this example, the subject is "Cloud Computing Performance" and the presentation title is "How to Monitor Performance in the Cloud". The report indicates that a previous meeting and a current meeting have the same subject, same presentation title, and same speaker (Speaker A). The report provides the result of the analysis of the meeting information and shows that 70% of invitees of the current meeting have viewed the presentation at the precious meeting. The report also provides the result of the analysis of presentation documents, and the report indicates that the presentation document of the current meeting has a new chart and otherwise has no differences from the presentation document of the previous meeting. The report provides the organizer or the chairperson with information for making a decision on the current meeting management.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Description Previous Meeting Current Meeting Meeting Date Mar. 4, 2011 Jul. 8, 2011 Meeting Subject Cloud Computing Cloud Computing Performance Performance Presentation How to Monitor How to Monitor Performance in the Performance in the Cloud Cloud Speaker Speaker A Speaker A Invitees Having Viewed the N/A 14 (70%) Presentation Presentation Difference N/A Chart 22 (New)
[0032] Referring to FIG. 3, at decision block 319, calendar analysis program 110 makes a decision based on whether the user requests changes to the current meeting. In this example, based on the report, the organizer or the chairperson may rearrange the current meeting, e.g., to change the presentation that has been scheduled. In response to that the organizer or the chairperson rearranges the current meeting (YES branch of decision block 319), calendar analysis program 110, at step 321, receives the changes and makes the changes on calendar program 120.
[0033] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a second example of analysis of meeting content and agendas, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the second example, calendar analysis program 110 is used by an invitee of a current meeting. At step 401, calendar analysis program 110 receives, from the invitee, meeting information including a subject, a presentation title, an invitee list, and a speaker of the current meeting. In this example, no links to previous meetings are provided by the user; therefore, at step 403, calendar analysis program 110 searches one or more previous meetings that have subjects and presentation titles matching those of the current meeting. At decision block 405, calendar analysis program 110 determines whether the one or more previous meetings are found. In response to that the one or more previous meetings are found (YES branch of decision block 405), at step 407, calendar analysis program 110 retrieves, from either calendar program 120 or database 130, meeting information of the one or more previous meetings. The meeting information of the one or more previous meetings includes presentation titles, attendee lists, and speakers of the one or more previous meetings. In this example, analysis of the meeting information and analysis of presentation documents are not requested by the user. At step 409, calendar analysis program 110 presents comparison between the one or more previous meetings and the current meeting.
[0034] Table 2 shows an example of a report generated by calendar analysis program 110. In this example, calendar analysis program 110, through the search at step 403, finds three previous meetings and two matching presentation titles: "How to Write Strong Claims" and "Analyzing Search Results", under the subject of "Patent Forum". Table 2 shows that the former presentation title ("How to Write Strong Claims") is presented by Speaker B at the three previous meetings but by Speaker C at the current meeting. Table 2 also shows that the latter presentation title (Analyzing Search Results) is presented by the same speaker, Speaker D, at the three previous meetings and the current meeting.

[0035] At decision block 411, calendar analysis program 110 makes a decision based on whether the user requests changes to the current meeting. In this example, based on the report, the invitee may decide to remove the schedule of attending the presentation of the latter title. In response to that the invitee removes the schedule of attending the presentation of the latter title (YES branch of decision block 411), calendar analysis program 110, at step 413, receives the changes from the invitee and makes the changes on calendar program 120.
[0036] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a third example of analysis of meeting content and agendas, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the third example, calendar analysis program 110 is used by a speaker of a current meeting. Calendar analysis program 110 is used for the speaker to determine how many invitees have viewed material that is similar to the presentation given by the speaker at the current meeting, and also for the speaker to compare a presentation document of the current meeting with a presentation document of a previous meeting. At step 501, calendar analysis program 110 receives, from the speaker, meeting information including an invitee list of a current meeting. At step 503, calendar analysis program 110 receives, from the speaker, links to an attendee list and presentation documents of a previous meeting. At step 505, calendar analysis program 110 retrieves, from calendar program 120 or database 130, the attendee list and the presentation documents of the previous meeting. Calendar analysis program 110, at step 507, determines how many invitees of the current meeting have viewed the presentation documents of the previous meeting. At step 509, calendar analysis program 110 acquires presentation documents of the previous meeting and the current meeting. Calendar analysis program 110 may follow links provided in calendar program 120 or provided by the speaker to retrieve the presentation documents stored on database 130 or other file storage systems. Also, calendar analysis program 110 may also request the user to input or upload the presentation documents. Calendar analysis program 110, at step 511, compares charts in the presentation documents of the previous meeting with charts in the presentation documents of the current meeting. At step 513, calendar analysis program 110 determines similarities between the presentation documents of the previous meeting and the presentation documents of the current meeting. At step 511 and 513, calendar analysis program 110 may use contextual analysis program 150 (shown in FIG. 1) for analysis of the presentation documents. At step 515, calendar analysis program 110 presents comparison between the previous meeting and the current meeting. The comparison shows the similarities between the presentation documents of the previous meeting and the presentation documents of the current meeting. By presenting the comparison, calendar analysis program 110 provides the speaker with information for editing the documents of the current meeting and/or for reorganizing the presentation content. In this example, the user does not make any change to the current meeting; therefore, after step 515, calendar analysis program 110 terminates the operation. Alternatively, calendar analysis program 110 may call one or more programs for editing the presentation documents of the current meeting.
[0037] Table 3 shows an example of a report generated by calendar analysis program 110. As shown in Table 3, 42% of invitees of the current meeting have viewed a presentation at the previous meeting. Table 3 shows results of analyzing presentation documents and lists the similarities between a presentation document of the previous meeting and a document of the current meeting.
