Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for differential dynamic content delivery. Typical embodiments of the present invention include providing a session document for a presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document; selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element bearing a preview designation; and presenting the selected structural element to a prospective user participant. In many embodiments, selecting a classified structural element bearing a preview designation further comprises selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon user classifications of a prospective user participant.

Claims

1. A method for differential dynamic content delivery, the method comprising:

providing a session document for a presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document;

selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element bearing a preview designation; and

presenting the selected structural element to a prospective user participant.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting a classified structural element bearing a preview designation further comprises selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon user classifications of a prospective user participant.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a presentation control instruction, wherein:

the presentation control instruction includes a presentation action identifier and one or more optional parameters; and

selecting a classified structural element includes selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising creating the presentation control instruction, including:

receiving from a user participating in the presentation a key phrase and optional parameters for invoking a presentation action; and

parsing the key phrase and parameters against a voice response grammar into a presentation control instruction.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising creating a session document from a presentation document, including:

identifying a presentation document for a presentation, the presentation document including a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers;

identifying a user participant for the presentation, the user having a user profile comprising user classifications; and

filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising creating a presentation document, including:

creating, in dependence upon an original document, a structured document comprising one or more structural elements;

classifying a structural element of the structured document according to a presentation attribute; and

creating a presentation grammar for the structured document, wherein the presentation grammar for the structured document includes grammar elements each of which includes an identifier for at least one structural element of the structured document.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the presentation attribute is a preview attribute.

8. A system for differential dynamic content delivery, the system comprising:

means for providing a session document for a presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document;

means for selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element bearing a preview designation; and

means for presenting the selected structural element to a prospective user participant.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein means for selecting a classified structural element bearing a preview designation further comprises means for selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon user classifications of a prospective user participant.

10. The system of claim 8 further comprising means for receiving a presentation control instruction, wherein:

the presentation control instruction includes a presentation action identifier and one or more optional parameters; and

means for selecting a classified structural element includes means for selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

11. The system of claim 10 further comprising means for creating the presentation control instruction, including:

means for receiving from a user participating in the presentation a key phrase and optional parameters for invoking a presentation action; and

means for parsing the key phrase and parameters against a voice response grammar into a presentation control instruction.

12. The system of claim 8 further comprising means for creating a session document from a presentation document, including:

means for identifying a presentation document for a presentation, the presentation document including a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers;

means for identifying a user participant for the presentation, the user having a user profile comprising user classifications; and

means for filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers.

13. The system of claim 12 further comprising means for creating a presentation document, including:

means for creating, in dependence upon an original document, a structured document comprising one or more structural elements;

means for classifying a structural element of the structured document according to a presentation attribute; and

means for creating a presentation grammar for the structured document, wherein the presentation grammar for the structured document includes grammar elements each of which includes an identifier for at least one structural element of the structured document.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the presentation attribute is a preview attribute.

15. A computer program product for differential dynamic content delivery, the computer program product comprising:

a recording medium;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for providing a session document for a presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element bearing a preview designation; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for presenting the selected structural element to a prospective user participant.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting a classified structural element bearing a preview designation further comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting a classified structural element in dependence upop user classifications of a prospective user participant.

17. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving a presentation control instruction, wherein:

the presentation control instruction includes a presentation action identifier and one or more optional parameters; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting a classified structural element includes means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating the presentation control instruction, including:

means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving from a user participating in the presentation a key phrase and optional parameters for invoking a presentation action; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for parsing the key phrase and parameters against a voice response grammar into a presentation control instruction.

19. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating a session document from a presentation document, including:
