Automated Presentation Engine for Live Branding Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional presentation tools, such as MICROSOFT® PowerPoint and APPLE® Keynote, are inadequate for automating the generation of presentation materials based on complex data sets, particularly for comprehensive branding and marketing strategies.
Innovation Solution
An automated presentation engine system that auto-imports content, auto-formats data, performs live updates, and allows sharing of presentations without requiring a separate client-side program, utilizing preconditioning logic sections, edits logic sections, and a presentation engine to generate sharable, formatted presentations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If conventional presentation tools (PowerPoint, Keynote) are used for manual processes, then ease of operation is maintained, but productivity and automation capability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the presentation creation process into distinct functional modules: data import module, data processing module, template selection module, and presentation generation module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the workflow, enabling automated processing while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer between raw data and final presentations. This intermediary layer includes data normalization components, template engines, and formatting logic that automatically transform diverse data sources into standardized presentation formats, resolving the contradiction between automation and complexity.
2Productivity
If manual processes are used for building presentations, then device complexity is low, but productivity and time-effectiveness are inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining templates, data structures, and formatting rules before the actual presentation creation process. Data is pre-processed and normalized, and templates are pre-configured with branding elements, enabling rapid presentation generation without manual formatting work during execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service capabilities where the presentation engine automatically selects appropriate templates, formats data according to branding guidelines, and generates presentations without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously completing formatting and layout tasks that would otherwise require human effort.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive branding data is processed, then information completeness is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements universal data processing components that can handle multiple types of branding data (logos, color palettes, typography rules, messaging guidelines) through a single integrated framework. The template engine and data normalization layer are designed to work with diverse data formats and structures, maintaining information completeness while reducing processing complexity through unified handling.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the inventive concept include an automated engine to auto-import content from a separate and/or integrated application. A live update of a presentation can be performed based on latest data from a separate and/or integrated application. A presentation engine can generate a link for viewing a presentation can be shared without the need to have any corresponding separate client-side program installed on a user station. Raw digital input content can be sourced from a separate and/or integrated application, or from a 3rd-party database, and imported into the presentation engine. The presentation engine can automatically produce an auto-formatted presentation based on the raw digital content. The digital content can include a marketing and/or branding plan. The presentation engine can perform a live update to the presentation as the plan changes. The presentation can be viewed in any suitable web browser. Accordingly, marketing and branding plans can be quickly communicated to stakeholders.
