A process of evaluating the expertise of participants during a group call. In operation, an electronic computing device analyzes speech content of participants on a group call to determine a call context associated with the group call. The electronic computing device then assigns an expected expertise score for the participant by correlating the call context with a participant profile and further determines a demonstrated expertise score for the participant as a function of the expected expertise score and a call participation score indicating a duration of time that the participant has spoken during the group call. When the electronic computing device detects that a decision is being made with respect to the call context, the electronic computing device provides a visual or audio output on a corresponding visual or audio output device indicating the demonstrated expertise score of at least one of the participants.
H04M 3/56 - Arrangements for connecting several subscribers to a common circuit, i.e. affording conference facilities
G10L 15/18 - Speech classification or search using natural language modelling
G10L 25/51 - Speech or voice analysis techniques not restricted to a single one of groups specially adapted for particular use for comparison or discrimination
A method and apparatus for formulating a query by a digital assistant is provided herein. During operation a digital assistant will receive a query from a user. The query will have a type of device mentioned within the query. In response, the digital assistant will listen for any nearby device to announce itself. The query will then be modified by the digital assistant to include a device identification heard in the announcement. Results from the modified query will be provided to the user.
A method is provided. The method includes receiving, at an arbitration server, a call setup request, the call setup request including at least an indication of an application used to send the call setup request and at least one other indication of a call type of a call associated with the call setup request. The method includes retrieving, from a configuration database, a call priority associated with the call set up request. The method includes determining that the user device is currently engaged in an ongoing call associated with an ongoing call priority. The method includes determining that the call setup request is of higher priority than the ongoing call based on the ongoing call priority. The method includes when the call setup request is of higher priority, terminating the ongoing call and completing the setup of the call associated with the call setup request.
A conductive solder pad for a ball grid array (BGA) includes a concave edge to accommodate a via that exits a substrate at a position at the surface of the substrate that is offset from the solder pad. The offset arrangement of the via and solder pad allow for differential thermal expansion of the substrate material and the via material with reduced risk of cracking or fracturing the solder joint. The concave edge of the solder pad provides a gap from the via to avoid unintended electrical connections while maintaining the solder-joint pitch of the BGA.
H05K 3/34 - Assembling printed circuits with electric components, e.g. with resistor electrically connecting electric components or wires to printed circuits by soldering
A method and apparatus for aiding a police officer in writing a report by creating a depiction of an incident scene is provided herein. During operation a drone will photograph an incident scene from above. Relevant objects will be identified and a depiction of the incident scene will be created by overlaying the relevant photographed real world objects onto a map retrieved from storage. The depiction of the incident scene will be made available to police officers to increase the officers' efficiency in report writing. More particularly, officers will no longer need to re-create the depiction of the incident scene by hand. Instead, the officer will be able to use the depiction of the incident scene.
