Abstract

Differential dynamic content delivery including 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 in dependence upon user classifications of a user participant in the presentation; presenting the selected structural element to the user; identifying a device controlling action; and executing the device controlling action to control a device for the user. In many embodiments, identifying a device controlling action includes identifying a device controlling action in dependence upon a presentation control instruction. In some embodiments, identifying a device controlling action further includes identifying a device controlling action in dependence upon a spoken key word. In some embodiments, identifying a device controlling action further includes identifying a device controlling action in dependence upon a classified structural element.

Claims

1. A method for differential dynamic content delivery, the method 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, including, extracting, from the structured document, structural elements having classification identifiers corresponding to the user classifications, and writing the extracted structural elements into a session structured document in the session document;

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 in dependence upon user classifications of a user participant in the presentation;

presenting the selected structural element to the user, including;

selecting a data communications protocol for the presentation;

inserting the selected structural element in a data structure appropriate to the data communications protocol; and

transmitting the data structure to the user according to the data communications protocol;

identifying a device controlling action in dependence upon a presentation control instruction, a spoken key word, a classified structural element, and a classification identifier;

executing the device controlling action to control a device for the user, further comprising calling a member method in an OSGi-compliant bundle operating in an OSGi framework on a services gateway.

2. 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.

3. The method of claim 2 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.

4. 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 the user classification.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising filtering the presentation grammar, in dependence upon the extracted structural elements, into a session grammar in the session document.

6. The method of claim 1 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.
