Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS Benefit is claimed under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d) to Foreign Application Serial No. 202341003606 filed in India entitled “DYNAMIC MEETING SPACE CONFIGURATION BASED ON CONTENT”, on Jan. 18, 2023, by VMware, Inc., which is herein incorporated in its entirety by reference for all purposes. BACKGROUND Today, enterprise meeting rooms are quickly being transformed into smart meeting spaces filled with internet-of-things (IoT) devices such as a smart displays, smart lighting, smart boards, smart conferencing solutions. Thus, each meeting space can itself be an IoT system where multiple IoT devices are operated by a controller device and may be enrolled with a management system. Thus, participants of meeting sessions held in a meeting space can control or configure each IoT device to suit the needs of the meeting session. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a more complete understanding of the embodiments and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying figures briefly described as follows: FIG. 1 shows an example of a pictorial diagram illustrating a meeting space, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 show an example of a network environment, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 3A-B shown examples of a sequence diagram that provides one example of the interactions between various components of the network environment, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present disclosure relates to dynamic meeting space configuration based on content. With the advent of IoT-enabled meeting spaces, employees and other enterprise users are faced physical security concerns when exhibiting secure enterprise content during a meeting session. For example, passersby or other unauthorized persons outside a meeting space could eavesdrop on a meeting session and thereby see or hear secure content being exhibited during the meeting session. To address these issues, the present disclosure leverages the capabilities of IoT-enabled meeting spaces to maintain the security of enterprise resources exhibited during meeting sessions. In particular, the IoT devices within a meeting space could be dynamically configured to match a level of security necessitated by a particular enterprise resource. One the one hand, if an enterprise resource being exhibited needs no elevated security, meeting participants can have full control over the configurations of the IoT devices. On other hand, if an enterprise resource includes secure content, those IoT devices can be dynamically configured to reduce the chance of that secure content being exposed to unauthorized persons. Likewise, meeting participants may be restricted from changing the IoT devices from their secure configurations. FIG. 1 is a pictorial diagram illustrating an enterprise meeting space 100. The meeting space 100 can be a room or other similar space in which employees or other persons affiliated with an enterprise can hold a meeting session. The meeting space 100 can host various meeting participants, including a user having a client device 106. The meeting space 100 can be equipped with various devices to facilitate the meeting session, including a beacon device 109, an edge device 112, and various IoT devices 115 (e.g., IoT devices 115a-d). A user in possession of a client device 106 can use an enterprise application installed on the client device 106 to conduct various aspects of the meeting session, including exhibiting one or more enterprise resources 127 (shown in FIG. 2) to the meeting session participants. The beacon device 109 can detect the user's presence in the meeting space 100 via the client device 106. That way, a management service 121 (shown in FIG. 2) can be alerted of the user's presence and permit the user to access enterprise resources 127. Then, the user can, via the client device 106, communicate with the edge device 112 to operate the IoT devices 115. Using one or more of the IoT devices 115, the user can exhibit the enterprise resource 127 to the meeting participants. For example, the user can display visual elements of the enterprise resource 127 using a display device 115a, or allow participants to hear audio elements of the enterprise resource 127 using a speaker device 115b. But if the enterprise resource 127 includes any secure content, the configurations of the IoT devices 115 can be modified to preserve security from any passersby or others who may be unauthorized to see or hear the secure content. For example, the brightness of the display device 115a or the audio output volume of the speaker device 115b can be limited. As another example, a lighting device 115c can be dimmed, or window blinds 115d can be closed. These modified configurations can help to reduce the chance of exposure of secure content to unauthorized persons outside the meeting space 100. FIG. 2, shown
