System and method for controlling presentations using a multimodal interface
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- processing, prior to presentation of a media presentation, the media presentation to enable content searchability as part of a speech dialog, such that a grammar is generated based on content of the media presentation;
receiving from a presenter during presentation of the media presentation, at a computing device directly connected to a first display screen, a content-based spoken request associated with a first plurality of segments within the media presentation;
while simultaneously displaying the media presentation to an audience on a second display screen that is physically separate from the first display screen, the second display not being capable of receiving audience interaction, displaying to the presenter on the first display screen, and not to the audience on the second display screen, graphical views of each of a second plurality of segments in response to the content-based spoken request, wherein the second plurality of segments are identified using the grammar;
receiving, at the computing device, a selection of one of the graphical views from the presenter;
to yield a selected segment from the second plurality of segments; and
based on the selection, displaying to the audience the selected segment on the second display screen.

Abstract
The invention provides for a system, method, and computer readable medium storing instructions related to controlling a presentation in a multimodal system. The method embodiment of the invention is a method for the retrieval of information on the basis of its content for real-time incorporation into an electronic presentation. The method comprises receiving from a presenter a content-based request for at least one segment of a first plurality of segments within a media presentation and while displaying the media presentation to an audience, displaying to the presenter a second plurality of segments in response to the content-based request. The computing device practicing the method receives a selection from the presenter of a segment from the second plurality of segments and displays to the audience the selected segment.

15. A system comprising:
-
a computer processing unit (CPU); and a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; processing, prior to presentation of a media presentation, the media presentation to enable content searchability as part of a speech dialog, such that a grammar is generated based on content of the media presentation; receiving from a presenter during presentation of the media presentation, at a computing device directly connected to a first display screen, a content-based spoken request associated with a first plurality of segments within the media presentation; configured, while simultaneously displaying the media presentation to an audience on a second display screen that is physically separate from the first display screen, the second display not being capable of receiving audience interaction, displaying to the presenter on the first display screen, and not to the audience on the second display screen, graphical views of each of a second plurality of segments in response to the content-based spoken request, wherein the second plurality of segments are identified using the grammar; receiving a selection of one of the graphical views from the presenter˜
to yield a selected segment from the second group of segments; andbased on the selection, displaying to the audience the selected segment on the second display screen.
