G06F 12/00

US Classification:

709203, 709250

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving data propagating in a network environment and organizing the data into one or more subjects. A request is received for information associated with a particular subject and an individual associated with the particular subject is identified. The request can be communicated to the individual if a request limit has not been exceeded for the individual. In other embodiments, a profile associated with each of a plurality of users in the network environment is maintained. The profile can include a number of questions presented to each user, a number of questions answered by each user, and a configured limit on how many questions each user is permitted to receive. In still other embodiments, a designation is made for a total number of requests that can be open between a plurality of users during a given time interval.

US Classification:

7042001

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving data propagating in a network environment and separating the data into one or more fields. At least some of the fields are evaluated in order to identify nouns and noun phrases within the fields. The method also includes identifying selected words within the nouns and noun phrases based on a whitelist and a blacklist. The whitelist includes a plurality of designated words to be tagged and the blacklist includes a plurality of rejected words that are not to be tagged. A resultant composite is generated for the selected nouns and noun phrases that are tagged. The resultant composite is incorporated into the whitelist if the resultant composite is approved.

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example and includes identifying a particular word recited by an active speaker in a conference involving a plurality of endpoints in a network environment; evaluating a profile associated with the active speaker in order to identify contextual information associated with the particular word; and providing augmented data associated with the particular word to at least some of the plurality of endpoints. In more specific examples, the active speaker is identified using a facial detection protocol, or a speech recognition protocol. Data from the active speaker can be converted from speech to text.

US Classification:

386239

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving video data propagating in a network environment; maintaining the video data in a buffer having a predetermined size; generating meta-information associated with the video data; and receiving a recording request from an end user participating in a video session associated with a video data. The recording request triggers the video data to be recorded in the network environment remote from the end user.

US Classification:

709238

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an apparatus can include a service broker configured to: (i) register a service classifier, and to provide context information to the service classifier; and (ii) register a plurality of service nodes. The service broker can also receive capability and service requests from the service classifier. Further, the context information can include a service header, a reachability indication, and an encapsulation, where the service header and the encapsulation may be attached or related to a packet in the service classifier. In addition, the service classifier can use this information to redirect the packet to a first service node.
