Solution Overview

Problem

Presenters face challenges in anticipating audience comprehension and question types during digital presentations, leading to ineffective presentations and increased processing resources due to unoptimized content for varying audience proficiency levels.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that evaluate presentation content against anticipated audience proficiency levels, generating recommendations to tailor content complexity and detail based on audience analysis, including knowledge gap estimation and interest satisfaction prediction, to optimize digital content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If presentation content is tailored to specific audience proficiency levels, then presentation effectiveness and audience comprehension are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs audience analysis and content evaluation before the presentation occurs. By pre-processing the presentation content and audience data, the system generates recommendations in advance, allowing presenters to optimize their content without adding complexity during the actual presentation delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that analyzes both presentation content and audience characteristics, then generates recommendations as a bridge between the two. This intermediary system handles the complexity of matching content to audience proficiency levels without requiring direct complex interactions between presenters and audience analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If presentation content is optimized for specific audience proficiency levels, then audience engagement and comprehension are improved, but processing resources and network bandwidth increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience engagementVSAvoidprocessing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential audience characteristics and content features needed for evaluation, rather than processing all available data. By selecting and processing only the most relevant attributes of audience proficiency and content complexity, the system reduces processing resource requirements while maintaining effective audience matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If detailed audience analysis is performed to estimate knowledge gaps and predict interest satisfaction, then content recommendation accuracy is improved, but analysis time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs a focused analysis on the most critical aspects of audience proficiency and content matching, rather than exhaustively analyzing all possible dimensions. By concentrating computational effort on the key factors that most strongly influence recommendation accuracy, the system achieves effective results with reduced analysis time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A computer-implemented method and system for improving digital content recommendations of a presentation is provided. The method comprises determining one or more knowledge areas covered by the presentation stored in a database; determining an audience proficiency level in the one or more knowledge areas based on audience data stored in the database; estimating a knowledge gap from the audience proficiency level and the presentation; and automatically generating a recommendation based, at least in part, on the knowledge gap.
