Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for delivering dynamic media content to collaborators. Embodiments include providing collaborative event media content, wherein the collaborative event media content includes a grammar and a structured document; providing data identifying a client'"'"'s location; storing, in the context server in a data structure comprising a dynamic client context for the client, the data identifying the client'"'"'s location; detecting an event in dependence upon the dynamic client context; identifying one or more collaborators in dependence upon the dynamic client context and the event; and selecting from the structured document a classified structural element in dependence upon an event type and a collaborator classification; and transmitting the selected structural element to the collaborator. In many embodiments, detecting an event in dependence upon the dynamic client context includes detecting a change in a value of a data element in the dynamic client context, and applying event detection rules base to the dynamic client context.

Claims

1. A method for delivering dynamic media content to collaborators, the method comprising:

providing collaborative event media content, wherein the collaborative event media content further comprises a grammar and a structured document, wherein providing collaborative event media content further comprises;

creating, in dependence upon original media content, a structured document, the structured document further comprising one or more structural elements;

creating a grammar for the collaborative event media content, wherein the grammar includes grammar elements each of which includes an identifier for at least one structural element of the structured document; and

classifying a structural element of the structured document according to a presentation attribute including identifying a presentation attribute for the structural element;

identifying a classification identifier in dependence upon the presentation attribute; and

inserting the classification identifier in association with the structural element in the structured document;

and wherein the method further comprises;

providing data identifying a client'"'"'s location including querying a router for a physical address of the router and wherein the router further comprises a wireless network access point;

storing, in the context server in a data structure comprising a dynamic client context for the client, the data identifying the client'"'"'s location including storing the physical address of the router in the dynamic client context for the client;

detecting an event in dependence upon the dynamic client context including detecting a change in a value of a data element in the dynamic client context and applying event detection rules base to the dynamic client context;

identifying one or more collaborators in dependence upon the dynamic client context and the event;

selecting from the structured document a classified structural element in dependence upon an event type and a collaborator classification; and

transmitting the selected structural element to the collaborator.
