Solution Overview

Problem

Existing presentation management systems require significant manual effort to adapt electronic presentations to different audiences and circumstances, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies, as they often rely on manual setting of constraint parameters that can be forgotten or not updated dynamically.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for dynamic presentation management that uses presentation software to gather metadata about the audience, location, and schedule, automatically determining and applying presentation constraint parameters to arrange or modify slides, ensuring that the presentation is optimized for the current context in real-time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual modification of presentations is performed for different audiences, then presentation content can be tailored to specific audiences, but significant manual work is required each time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation adaptation to different audiencesVSAvoidmanual work time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The presentation system automatically adapts itself to different audiences by detecting audience characteristics and independently selecting/applying appropriate slides and content, eliminating the need for manual modification while maintaining tailored presentation content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes presentation parameters (slide selection, content display, presentation flow) based on detected audience characteristics, enabling automatic adaptation to different audiences without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a set of similar presentations is maintained for different audiences, then presentation content can be optimized for different groups, but the entire set must be modified together which is time-consuming and leads to inconsistencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation content optimization for different groupsVSAvoidpresentation set management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The presentation is segmented into independent slides with individual constraint parameters, allowing each slide to be independently selected or modified based on audience characteristics, rather than modifying the entire presentation set together

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The presentation system dynamically adjusts slide selection and content display in real-time based on detected audience characteristics, replacing the static approach of maintaining separate presentation sets with a single dynamic presentation that adapts automatically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If constraint parameters are set manually by the presenter, then slides can be controlled to be presented to the audience, but the parameters are easily forgotten to be updated and dynamic modifications are not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstraint parameter settingVSAvoidparameter update reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously detects audience characteristics and automatically updates constraint parameters based on this feedback, ensuring parameters are always current and accurate without relying on manual updates that can be forgotten

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages and updates constraint parameters based on detected audience characteristics, eliminating the need for manual parameter setting and ensuring reliable, up-to-date parameters without human intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for dynamic presentations management of electronic presentations including multiple slides, wherein each slide has at least one presentation constraint parameter assigned thereto, and wherein a presentation software is used for generating and displaying the presentation can include gathering metadata regarding the presentation by the presentation software, evaluating the metadata regarding the presentation and determining at least one presentation constraint parameter by the presentation software, and automatically arranging and/or selecting slides and/or modifying a content of slides according to the determined at least one presentation constraint parameter to be presented by use of the presentation software.
