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; identifying a recording period within a presentation session; recording, during the recording period, a presentation control instruction; selecting from the session structured document a classified structural element in dependence upon the recorded presentation control instruction and in dependence upon user classifications of a user participant in the presentation; and presenting the selected structural element to the user.

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;

identifying a recording period within a presentation session;

recording, during the recording period, a first presentation control instruction;

selecting from the session structured document a first classified structural element in dependence upon the recorded first presentation control instruction and in dependence upon user classifications of a first user participant in the presentation;

presenting the first classified structural element to the first user on a first display device;

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

presenting the second classified structural element to the second user on a second display device.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying a recording period within a presentation session further comprises logging off by the first user during the presentation session.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying a recording period within a presentation session further comprises logging on by the first user during the presentation session.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

transcoding the recorded first presentation control instruction in dependence upon a device type of the first display.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein presenting the first classified structural element to the first user further comprises sending the first classified structural element to the first display device at a display device location.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising creating the first presentation control instruction, including:

receiving from the first 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 the first presentation control instruction.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the recorded first presentation control instruction includes a presentation action identifier and optional parameters; and

wherein the first classified structural element is selected in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting the first classified structural element further comprises selecting the first classified structural element having an associated classification identifier that corresponds to the user classification.

9. 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 the first user participant for the presentation, the first user having a user profile comprising user classifications; and

filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising creating a presentation document, including:

creating, in dependence upon an original document, a structured document comprising one or more structural elements;

classifying the first classified 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 of the one or more structural elements of the structured document.

11. A system for differential dynamic content delivery, the system comprising:

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

means for identifying a recording period within a presentation session;

means for recording, during the recording period, a first presentation control instruction;

means for selecting from the session structured document a first classified structural element in dependence upon the recorded first presentation control instruction and in dependence upon user classifications of a first user participant in the presentation;

a first display device configured to present the first classified structural element to the first user;

means for selecting from the session structured document a second classified structural element in dependence upon a second presentation control instruction and in dependence upon user classifications of a second user participant in the presentation; and

a second display device configured to present the second classified structural element to the second user.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein means for identifying a recording period within a presentation session further comprises means for logging off by the first user during the presentation session.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein means for identifying a recording period within a presentation session further comprises means for logging on by the first user during the presentation session.

14. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

means for transcoding the recorded first presentation control instruction in dependence upon a device type of the first display.

15. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

means for sending the first classified structural element to the first display device at a first display device location.

16. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

means for receiving from the first user participating in the presentation a key phrase and optional parameters for invoking a presentation action; and

means for parsing the key phrase and parameters against a voice response grammar into the first presentation control instruction.

17. A computer program product for differential dynamic content delivery, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory recording medium;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for providing a session document for a presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a recording period within a presentation session;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for recording, during the recording period, a first presentation control instruction;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting from the session structured document a first classified structural element in dependence upon the recorded first presentation control instruction and in dependence upon user classifications of a first user participant in the presentation;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for presenting the first classified structural element to the first user on a first display device;

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

presenting the second classified structural element to the second user on a second display device.
