An Automatic Cue to Activate a Meeting

There is research that Japanese business person consumes 17.6% of the total working hours per year for in-house meetings, and the wasted meeting time is equivalent to 1.5 billion JPY (15 million USD) labor cost in a large-scale company that has over 10,000 employees. The largest reason for a meeting becomes boring and not satisfied is only a limited person speaks in meetings, and no chance to mention other opinions for other attendances. In this research, we would like to solve this problem by realizing an automatic cue system to encourage the attendance of a meeting to mention their idea. The result of the experiment of the proposed system shows that the imbalance of the number of the speech was solved, and all attendances of the meeting could present their idea and opinion.
