Template based content preparation system for use with a plurality of space types
First Claim
1. A system for use with at least first and second different space types, each space type including an emissive surface set that includes a plurality of emissive surfaces located within a conference space, each emissive surface controllable to present content within the conference space, each emissive surface including at least one vessel, the system for preparing content for a session and comprising:
- a database that includes a separate template for each space type, each template indicating vessels associated with the space type, relative juxtapositions of the vessels in the conference space and content types to be presented in each vessel for at least a first activity type;
a processor programmed to perform the steps of;
(i) providing an interface screen that presents a separate space type representation for at least the first and second space types for selection by a system user;
(ii) receiving a selection of one of the space types via the interface screen;
(iii) identifying the template associated with the selected space type;
(iv) identifying content types specified by the identified template for each vessel included in the selected space type;
(v) providing at least another interface screen for receiving content of each identified content type;
(vi) storing the received content in a session specification for subsequent access during a session within a space of the selected space type wherein the session specification includes content for each vessel in the identified template associated with the selected space type.

Abstract
A system for use with different space types, each space type including emissive surfaces, each emissive surface controllable to present content within the space, the system comprising a database that includes a separate template for each space type, each template indicating surfaces associated with the space type, relative juxtapositions of the surfaces in the space and content types to be presented in each surface, a processor programmed to allow a user to select a space type, identify an associated space type template, identifying content types for each surface and storing the received content in a session specification for subsequent access.
