1. A method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of devices participating in a multimedia event having a plurality of different modes of interaction, wherein a first identified device of the plurality of devices has limited access to the plurality of different modes of interaction, and wherein the limited access of the device comprises having access to a first mode of interaction and not having access to a second mode of interaction;
determining access of each device to each mode of the plurality of different modes of interaction;
presenting the multimedia event to the plurality of devices participating in the multimedia event;
generating, based on the determined access of each device of the plurality of devices, a plurality of cues associated with an event within the multimedia event and comprising a first cue in the first mode of interaction and associated with the second mode of interaction and a second cue in the second mode of interaction and associated with the first mode of interaction or the second mode of interaction;
determining a current context of the presented multimedia event and a current context of a participant in the multimedia event associated with each of the plurality of devices, wherein the current context of the multimedia event comprises at least one of a presented order of content in the multimedia event, a delivery of the multimedia event in at least one of the plurality of different modes of interaction, or a pause in delivery of the multimedia event in at least one of the plurality of modes of interaction;
transmitting the generated first cue to the first device based on the determined current context of the presented multimedia event and the determined current context of the participant associated with the first device; and
transmitting the generated second cue to the second device based on the determined current context of the presented multimedia event and the determined current context of the participant associated with the second device.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing multimodal interaction aids in multimedia events. The system presents a multimedia event to a participant which has limited access to the multimedia event, wherein the limited access prevents the participant from experiencing every mode of the multimedia event. The system also generates a cue associated with the multimedia event, wherein the cue is structured according to the limited access of the participant. The system then transmits the cue to a device associated with the participant.

1. A method comprising:
-
identifying a plurality of devices participating in a multimedia event having a plurality of different modes of interaction, wherein a first identified device of the plurality of devices has limited access to the plurality of different modes of interaction, and wherein the limited access of the device comprises having access to a first mode of interaction and not having access to a second mode of interaction; determining access of each device to each mode of the plurality of different modes of interaction; presenting the multimedia event to the plurality of devices participating in the multimedia event; generating, based on the determined access of each device of the plurality of devices, a plurality of cues associated with an event within the multimedia event and comprising a first cue in the first mode of interaction and associated with the second mode of interaction and a second cue in the second mode of interaction and associated with the first mode of interaction or the second mode of interaction; determining a current context of the presented multimedia event and a current context of a participant in the multimedia event associated with each of the plurality of devices, wherein the current context of the multimedia event comprises at least one of a presented order of content in the multimedia event, a delivery of the multimedia event in at least one of the plurality of different modes of interaction, or a pause in delivery of the multimedia event in at least one of the plurality of modes of interaction; transmitting the generated first cue to the first device based on the determined current context of the presented multimedia event and the determined current context of the participant associated with the first device; and transmitting the generated second cue to the second device based on the determined current context of the presented multimedia event and the determined current context of the participant associated with the second device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17)

11. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; identifying a plurality of devices participating in a multimedia event having a plurality of different modes of interaction, wherein a first identified device of the plurality of devices has limited access to the plurality of different modes of interaction, and wherein the limited access of the device comprises having access to a first mode of interaction and not having access to a second mode of interaction; determining access of each device to each mode of the plurality of different modes of interaction; presenting the multimedia event to the plurality of devices participating in the multimedia event; generating, based on the determined access of each device of the plurality of devices, a plurality of cues associated with an event within the multimedia event and comprising a first cue in the first mode of interaction and associated with the second mode of interaction and a second cue in the second mode of interaction and associated with the first mode of interaction or the second mode of interaction; determining a current context of the presented media event and a current context of a participant in the multimedia event associated with each of the plurality of devices, wherein the current context of the multimedia event comprises at least one of a presented order of content in the multimedia event, a delivery of the multimedia event in at least one of the plurality of different modes of interaction, or a pause in delivery of the multimedia event in at least one of the plurality of modes of interaction; modifying the first cue based on the determined current context of the presented media event and the determined current context of the participant associated with the first device; transmitting the modified first cue to the first device; and transmitting the generated second cue to the second device and the transmitted generated second cue is based on the determined current context of the participant associated with the second device. - View Dependent Claims (12)
