Abstract

Computer-implemented techniques for viewing a recorded presentation are described. The techniques include receiving by one or more computers a request from a user to view a recorded presentation, retrieving, by one or more computing systems, a segment of the recorded presentation that is comprised of plural segments and information specifying times of occurrences of trigger events associated with corresponding segments in the recorded presentation, retrieving by the one or more computers private information of the user relevant to a first segment of the recorded presentation based on a first trigger event, generating, by the one or more computing systems, a re-cast first segment of the recorded presentation, with the re-cast first segment including the private information of the user, and sending by the one or more computing systems, the re-cast segment to a computing device associated with the user.

12. The computer-implement method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting a start of the re-cast segment by determining a count of a number of trigger events that preceded the re-cast segment.

13. The computer-implement method of claim 1, further comprising:

reading tags associated with the recorded segment of the recorded presentation to determine a topic of the segment and the private information that is needed for the re-cast segment.

23. The electronic system of claim 11, further configured to:

read tags associated with the recorded segment of the recorded presentation to determine a topic of the segment and the private information that is needed for the re-cast segment.

14. An electronic system comprising:

one or more processing devices; and

one or more computer-readable storage devices configured to store instructions that are executable by the one or more processing devices to configured the one or more processing devices to;

receive a request from a user to view a recorded presentation;

retrieve a segment of the recorded presentation, the segment having one or more informational depictions at least one of which is a depiction that includes generic, non-private information, and trigger information specifying an occurrence of at least one trigger event associated with the segment in the recorded presentation;

retrieve private information associated with the user relevant to the segment of the recorded presentation with the information retrieved being based on the trigger event;

generate from the retrieved segment, a re-cast segment of the recorded presentation, with the generated re-cast segment including a recast informational depiction having the private information of the user placed in the recast depiction of the recast segment to substitute for the generic non-private information in the at least one depiction in the retrieved segment; and

send the re-cast segment to a computing device associated with the user.

15. The electronic system of claim 14 wherein the segment is one of a first plurality of segments that comprise the presentation and the re-cast segment is one of a second plurality of corresponding re-cast segments that comprise the re-cast presentation.

16.
