Abstract

Differential dynamic content delivery, including creating a session document for a presentation, including identifying a user participant for the presentation, where the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document, the user participant has a user profile comprising user classifications and user interests, the user interests comprising data fields for storing data values indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation; receiving from the identified user participant at least one data value indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation; storing in the user profile the data value indicating user interest; recreating the session document in dependence upon the data value indicating user interest; selecting from the recreated session document a classified structural element; and presenting the selected structural element to at least one user participant.

Claims

1. A method for differential dynamic content delivery, the method comprising:

creating a session document for a presentation, including identifying a user participant for the presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document, the user participant has a user profile comprising user classifications and user interests, and the user interests comprise data fields for storing data values indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation;

receiving from the identified user participant at least one data value indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation;

storing in the user profile the data value indicating user interest;

recreating the session document in dependence upon the data value indicating user interest;

selecting from the recreated session document a classified structural element; and

presenting the selected structural element to at least one user participant.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one user participant to whom the selected structural element is presented is not the same as the identified user participant.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein receiving from the identified user participant at least one data value indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation further comprises requesting an expression of interest from the identified user participant after creating the session document for the presentation.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein requesting an expression of interest from the identified user participant after creating the session document for the presentation further comprises requesting the expression of interest by email.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein receiving from the identified user participant at least one data value indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation further comprises receiving the data value by network data communications through a web site.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a presentation control instruction, wherein:

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

selecting a classified structural element includes selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising creating the 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.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein creating a session document further comprises creating a session document from a presentation document, including:

identifying a presentation document for the presentation, the presentation document including a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers; and

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

9. The method of claim 1 wherein recreating the session document further comprises recreating the 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;

optionally 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, the classification identifiers, and the data value indicating user interest.

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 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.

11. A system for differential dynamic content delivery, the system comprising at least one computer processor, at least one computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, and computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of:

creating a session document for a presentation, including identifying a user participant for the presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document, the user participant has a user profile comprising user classifications and user interests, the user interests comprising data fields for storing data values indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation;

receiving from the identified user participant at least one data value indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation;

storing in the user profile the data value indicating user interest;

recreating the session document in dependence upon the data value indicating user interest;

selecting from the recreated session document a classified structural element; and

presenting the selected structural element to at least one user participant.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein receiving from the identified user participant at least one data value indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation further comprises requesting an expression of interest from the identified user participant after creating the session document for the presentation.

13. The system of claim 11 further comprising computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of receiving a presentation control instruction, wherein:

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

selecting a classified structural element includes selecting a classified structural element in dependence upon the presentation action identifier and the parameters.

14. The system of claim 13 further comprising computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of creating the presentation control instruction, including:

computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of receiving from a user participating in the presentation a key phrase and optional parameters for invoking a presentation action; and

computer program instructions disposed within the computer memory capable of parsing the key phrase and parameters against a voice response grammar into a presentation control instruction.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein recreating the session document further comprises recreating the 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;

optionally 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, the classification identifiers, and the data value indicating user interest.

16. A computer program product for differential dynamic content delivery, the computer program product embodied on a computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer-implementable instructions cable of:

creating a session document for a presentation, including identifying a user participant for the presentation, wherein the session document includes a session grammar and a session structured document, the user participant has a user profile comprising user classifications and user interests, the user interests comprising data fields for storing data values indicating user interest in one or more subjects of the presentation;
