Dynamic Slide Reprioritization for Time-Constrained Presentations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing slide presentation systems lack the ability to dynamically adjust the priority of slides during a presentation in response to changing circumstances, such as time constraints or audience engagement, which can lead to inefficiencies and frustration for presenters.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows for the selective presentation of slides based on assigned priority levels, enabling real-time reprioritization by changing the priority level during the presentation, taking into account dependencies and estimated times for each slide, to adapt to changing circumstances such as time remaining or user requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If slides are presented in the original created order, then the presentation structure is simple and easy to follow, but the system cannot adapt to changing circumstances such as time constraints or audience engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic reprioritization by allowing priority levels of slides to be changed during presentation. The system dynamically adjusts which slides are presented next based on updated priority assignments, enabling adaptation to changing circumstances while maintaining a manageable interface through simple priority level assignments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of slide priority levels during presentation. By allowing presenters to modify priority assignments in real-time, the system adapts to changing requirements without requiring complete restructuring of the presentation, balancing adaptability with operational simplicity.
2Productivity
If the presenter manually adjusts slide order during presentation, then adaptability to changing circumstances is improved, but the time required for adjustment and potential frustration increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic reprioritization based on priority level assignments without requiring manual reordering operations. The automated system handles the complex task of recalculating slide sequences based on priority changes, saving presenter time and reducing frustration while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
Slides are pre-assigned priority levels during creation, establishing a framework that enables rapid adaptation during presentation. This preliminary organization allows the system to quickly respond to priority changes without requiring time-consuming manual reordering operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all slides are presented regardless of priority, then completeness of content is maintained, but the ability to focus on important content and adapt to time constraints is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different priority levels to different slides, creating local quality variations in content importance. This allows the system to selectively present slides based on their specific priority assignments, enabling precise content selection while maintaining the ability to adjust priorities locally without affecting the entire presentation structure.

AI summary
A first selectable slide presentation priority level assigned to a slide presentation is determined responsive to detecting an indication from a user using an input device to start the slide presentation. Individual slides of the slide presentation determined to include an assigned individual slide priority level equal to or higher than the assigned first selectable slide presentation priority level are selectively presented. For each presented slide, the slide presentation is dynamically reprioritized to present any additional content-dependent slides determined to include a user-assigned inter-slide content dependency upon content of the presented slide. On any presented slide and any presented additional content-dependent slide that includes multi-priority content, any content item assigned with the first selectable slide presentation priority level is highlighted if any other content item on the respective slide includes a different assigned priority level.
