Abstract

Session document for a presentation, where the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document; selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element having an associated indication of interest from a user not participating in the presentation; presenting the selected structural element to a user participant; and notifying the user not participating of the presentation of the selected structural element. Typical embodiments also include recording for the user not participating the associated indication of interest in the selected structural element. Typical embodiments also include notifying the user not participating of the identity of at least one user participant. Typical embodiments also include allowing the user not participating to participate in the presentation.

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 having an associated indication of interest from a user not participating in the presentation;

presenting the selected structural element to a user participant; and

notifying the user not participating of the presentation of the selected structural element.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising recording for the user not participating the associated indication of interest in the selected structural element.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising notifying the user not participating of the identity of at least one user participant.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising allowing the user not participating to participate in the presentation.

5. 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.

6. The method of claim 5 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.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting a classified structural element further comprises selecting a classified structural element having an associated classification identifier that corresponds to at least one user classification of at least one user participant in the presentation.

8. 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.

9. The method of claim 8 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.

10. A system for differential dynamic content delivery, the system comprising at least one computer processor, at least one computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, and computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of:

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 having an associated indication of interest from a user not participating in the presentation;

presenting the selected structural element to a user participant; and

notifying the user not participating of the presentation of the selected structural element.

11. The system of claim 10 further comprising computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of recording for the user not participating the associated indication of interest in the selected structural element.

12. The system of claim 10 further comprising computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of notifying the user not participating of the identity of at least one user participant.

13. The system of claim 10 further comprising computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of allowing the user not participating to participate in the presentation.

14. The system of claim 10 further comprising computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of 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.

15. A computer program product for differential dynamic content delivery, the computer program product embodied on a computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer-implementable instructions cable of:

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 having an associated indication of interest from a user not participating in the presentation;

presenting the selected structural element to a user participant; and

notifying the user not participating of the presentation of the selected structural element.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising computer-implementable instructions capable of recording for the user not participating the associated indication of interest in the selected structural element.

17. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising computer-implementable instructions capable of notifying the user not participating of the identity of at least one user participant.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising computer-implementable instructions capable of allowing the user not participating to participate in the presentation.

19. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising computer-implementable instructions capable of 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 include selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

20. The computer program product of claim 15 further comprising computer-implementable instructions capable of creating a session document from a presentation document, including:

computer-implementable instructions capable of 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;

computer-implementable instructions capable of identifying a user participant for the presentation, the user having a user profile comprising user classifications; and

computer-implementable instructions capable of filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers.
