Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for differential dynamic content delivery. Typical embodiments include providing a session document for a presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document; receiving a prerecorded presentation control instruction; selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element in dependence upon the prerecorded presentation control instruction, in dependence upon user classifications of a user participant in the presentation, and in dependence upon a presentation history of the classified structural element; and presenting the selected structural element to the user. The presentation history further typically includes a classified structural element identifier; a user classification; a count of the number of times the classified structural element has been presented; and a count of the number of times the session document containing the classified structural element has been used in presentations.

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;

creating a prerecorded presentation session including repeatedly;

recording a presentation control instruction; and

recording a time stamp in association with the presentation control instruction;

playing back a prerecorded presentation session, including sending prerecorded presentation control instructions to a presentation server at time intervals dictated by time stamps associated with the prerecorded present control instructions;

receiving a prerecorded presentation control instruction;

selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element in dependence upon the prerecorded presentation control instruction, in dependence upon user classifications of a user participant in the presentation, and in dependence upon a presentation history of the classified structural element, wherein;

the presentation history further comprises a classified structural element identifier, a user classification, a count of the number of times the classified structural element has been presented, a count of the number of times the session document containing the classified structural element has been used in presentations, and a historical presentation rate representing a ratio of the number of times the classified structural element has been presented and the number of times the session document containing the classified structural element has been used in presentations; and

responsive to determining that the historical presentation rate is greater than a historical presentation rate threshold, selecting the classified structural element; and

presenting the selected structural element to the user.

2. The method of claim 1 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.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the prerecorded presentation control instruction includes a presentation action identifier and 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 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.

5. The method of claim 4 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.
