- receiving a first slide deck to be compared, the first slide deck comprised of a first plurality of presentation slides, andreceiving a second slide deck to be compared, the second slide deck comprised of a second plurality of presentation slides;
receiving a selection of a comparison theme to be applied for comparing the first slide deck and the second slide deck;
identifying, based on one or more parameters indicated in the comparison theme, a difference between each presentation slide of the first plurality of presentation slides and a corresponding presentation slide of the second plurality of presentation slides; and
transmitting a comparison display of the first slide deck and the second slide deck to a remote computer in order to cause the remote computer to display the comparison as a concurrent single view comprised of;
a slide selector to present a plurality of thumbnail pairs, each of the plurality of thumbnail pairs including a first thumbnail view of a presentation slide from the first plurality of presentation slides and a thumbnail view of a corresponding presentation slide from the second plurality of presentation slides;
a slide pair viewer to present an expanded view of a first presentation slide and a second presentation slide included in a selected one of the plurality of thumbnail pairs, wherein the expanded view provides a visual markup of the difference between the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide; and
a slide change summary to present a navigable comparison report wherein the navigable comparison report includes one or more difference values wherein each of the one or more difference values corresponds to a particular difference between the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide displayed in the slide pair viewer, and wherein, upon a user selecting a particular difference value of the one or more difference values a first visual indicator corresponding to the particular difference value being highlighted in at least one of the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide displayed in the slide pair viewer.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for comparing two slide decks using a compare service. The compare service generates a comparison analysis for the two slide decks based on a comparison theme selected by the user. The result of the analysis is displayed in a comparison display that includes a slide selector section, a slide pair viewer section, and a navigable change summary section. In one embodiment, the compare service allows the user to select preferred slides from the two slide decks displayed in the comparison display, and subsequently generates a new slide deck that contains only the preferred slides selected by the user.

1. A method for comparing a plurality of slide decks, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first slide deck to be compared, the first slide deck comprised of a first plurality of presentation slides, and receiving a second slide deck to be compared, the second slide deck comprised of a second plurality of presentation slides; receiving a selection of a comparison theme to be applied for comparing the first slide deck and the second slide deck; identifying, based on one or more parameters indicated in the comparison theme, a difference between each presentation slide of the first plurality of presentation slides and a corresponding presentation slide of the second plurality of presentation slides; and transmitting a comparison display of the first slide deck and the second slide deck to a remote computer in order to cause the remote computer to display the comparison as a concurrent single view comprised of; a slide selector to present a plurality of thumbnail pairs, each of the plurality of thumbnail pairs including a first thumbnail view of a presentation slide from the first plurality of presentation slides and a thumbnail view of a corresponding presentation slide from the second plurality of presentation slides; a slide pair viewer to present an expanded view of a first presentation slide and a second presentation slide included in a selected one of the plurality of thumbnail pairs, wherein the expanded view provides a visual markup of the difference between the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide; and a slide change summary to present a navigable comparison report wherein the navigable comparison report includes one or more difference values wherein each of the one or more difference values corresponds to a particular difference between the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide displayed in the slide pair viewer, and wherein, upon a user selecting a particular difference value of the one or more difference values a first visual indicator corresponding to the particular difference value being highlighted in at least one of the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide displayed in the slide pair viewer. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for creating a new slide deck based on a comparison of an original slide deck and a modified slide deck, the method comprising:
-
receiving the original slide deck, the original slide deck comprised of a first plurality of presentation slides, receiving the modified slide deck comprised of a second plurality of presentation slides; comparing each presentation slide of the first plurality of presentation slides against a corresponding presentation slide of the second plurality of presentation slides; transmitting a comparison display of the original slide deck and the modified slide deck to a remote computer in order to cause the remote computer to display the comparison as a concurrent single view comprised of; at least one slide pairs, each of the at least one slide pairs including a first presentation slide from the original slide deck and a corresponding second presentation slide from the modified slide deck and a slide change summary to present a navigable comparison report wherein the navigable comparison report includes one or more difference values wherein each of the one or more difference values corresponds to a particular difference between the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide displayed in the slide pair viewer and wherein upon a user selecting a particular difference value of the one or more difference values a first visual indicator corresponding to the particular difference value is highlighted in at least one of the first presentation slide and the second presentation slide displayed in the comparison display; receiving a selection of a preferred slide corresponding to the at least one slide pairs, the preferred slide of a given slide pair being one of the following; either the first presentation slide or the second presentation slide of the given slide pair;
oran edited presentation slide that is created by editing either the first presentation slide or the second presentation slide of the given slide pair; and saving in memory each of the selected preferred slides pertaining to the at least one slide pairs to create the new slide deck. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
