Creation and Navigation of Infinite Canvas Presentation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of creating a slide presentation comprising:
- defining a plurality of slides;
associating the plurality of slides with a background canvas; and
automatically defining navigation functions for the slide presentation such that navigation though the slides during the slide presentation is achieved by adjusting a view to one or more of the plurality of slides relative to the background canvas in response to the automatically defined navigation functions.

Abstract
A system and method for creating and conducting presentations on a surface may include an authoring mode, a preprocessing mode and a presentation mode. During an authoring mode, a user may create a surface presentation. In response to a command to play the created presentation, the system enters the preprocessing mode. During the preprocessing mode, a presentation is preprocessed and prepared for presentation. When preprocessing is complete, the presentation mode is entered. During the presentation mode, the infinite surface presentation is presented such that a user may navigate through the presentation.

17. A tangible computer readable storage medium that includes computer executable instructions for an application that creates a slide presentation, the application comprising:
-
an authoring mode for the application, wherein a user interface is arranged for defining a plurality of slides for the slide presentation when the authoring mode is active; a preprocessing mode for the application, wherein the preprocessing mode is activated in response to a play command that is initiated from the user interface in the the slide presentation by creating a background canvas and arranging the plurality of slides on the background canvas when the preprocessing mode is active; and a presentation mode, wherein the presentation mode is activated after completion of preprocessing in the preprocessing mode;
wherein the presentation mode is arranged to display the canvas and the slides arranged thereon when active. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
