US Patent 11265183 Asynchronous meeting management for collaboration solutions

A method for conducting and managing collaboration sessions as asynchronous meetings that are just as effective as live (or synchronous) meetings. Specifically, the disclosed method enables asynchronous meetings where participants may join meetings and engage with content, and contribute at different points in time. The disclosed method engages around content and interaction, and summarizes results into a meaningful form. Accordingly, the disclosed method addresses a limitation of conducting meetings today, which require all participants to attend, focus, and contribute at the same time.
