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:

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;

creating a session document from the 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;

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

creating a 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;

receiving the presentation control instruction, wherein;

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

selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters, the classified structural element having an associated indication of interest from a user not participating in the presentation and having an associated classification identifier that corresponds to at least one user classification of at least one user participant 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;

recording for the user not participating the associated indication of interest in the selected structural element;

notifying the user not participating of the identity of at least one user participant and

allowing the user not participating to participate in the presentation.
