Abstract:

A multimedia content system operates to manage mobile blogs created by users of communication devices. The mobile blogs may include content objects, which may be formed of audio components, text components, image, and/or video components. The various components may be formed from features of the communication devices. A user operating a mobile and/or non-mobile communication device may contact the system and provide one or more content objects for a mobile blog. The user may specify or create a community for accessing the mobile blog, and the multimedia content system publishes the blog for the community. Members of the community may view, edit, or augment the content objects of the mobile blog. Augmenting commands may be done through text messaging, email, or voice prompts. Users may access the mobile blogs through various communication devices. The content objects of the mobile blogs may be shared between users and indexed for easy retrieval.

Abstract:

A conference system operates to provide conference capabilities for discussion groups that include multiple members. The members provide registration information to identify themselves as well as their communication device. An initiating group member forms groups of registered and unregistered members. When a conference is desired, the initiating group member of a discussion group sends a request to the conference system, which subsequently provides the request to each group member. Group members are validated and joined to the conference without the need of prior coordination or exchange of access codes. Messages may be created and stored for all members of the group or those members unable to participate in the conference. The messages may be controlled by the initiating group member or other members. Members belonging to more than one discussion group having concurrent conferences may participate in all or any desired conferences at the same time.

Paul Joseph Gagne - Reading MA, US
Adam Kernander - Dover NH, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06N 20/00

Abstract:

In some embodiments, the manager augmentation system is directed to a system for empowering virtual, high performing teams by driving more effective communication and alignment. In some embodiments, the system includes a portal user interface that displays goals, real time feedback, sentiment, and performance related information and accepts both manager and employee input about the current state each of those items. In some embodiments, the system provides analytics using machine learning to track changes across each of those items and identify where employees may be in need of support, are at risk of leaving, or are misaligned with their manager. In some embodiments, the system uses the analytics and inputs to determine and prompt actions related to best practices so that managers can improve their engagement and execution with their team. In some embodiments, the system uses algorithms to calculate a Net Manager Score that quantifies how that manager is performing.

Abstract:

A system and method including a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor to create a rating display including an interactive questionnaire, display, menu or list with at least some sentiment-related information. Employee sentiment data generated based on the rating display is received and stored from at least one employee and/or at least one manager. The employee sentiment data includes employee check-ins and/or manager check-ins or inputs to the sentiment-related information. Sentiment profiles of one or more employees are created including a sentiment rating, associated sentiment reason, and associated learning. Logic executed by the processor can link a display of the sentiment rating, associated sentiment reason, and associated learning to educational materials.
