METHOD OF SELECTING CONTENT FOR DISPLAYING IN AN IDLE SYSTEM
Nate Koechley, Paul Moody · 2016
An application to automatically select display content based on user interest in an idle system is disclosed. The content such as images, maps, videos, etc. may be based on social network postings, business domain, travel interests or subjects of study that are connected or related or produced by a user of the system. The application displays the content by determining use context of the content. The display may be customized based on application such as personal home use, a classroom or educational setting or a meeting or conference, such as a business video conference. BACKGROUND It is common for a system to display content such as beautiful images to users or participants when a system goes idle, for example, when no meeting is scheduled or in the interval between meetings. The system may be any communication system such as a video conferencing system. However the content displayed will have no connection or relevance to the participants’ interest or have relation to the agenda of the meeting. Selecting content relating to the participants is something current systems cannot do. This disclosure provides a solution for selecting content for display based on interests of the participants in the room.
