Live Presentation Integration via Active Regions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional presentation software lacks dynamic interaction capabilities, failing to provide real-time updates or new information in response to audience queries during a presentation, as it primarily relies on static content such as text, images, and videos.
Innovation Solution
The system enables live application integration within presentations by allowing interactive pages with active regions that can access and interact with server applications, enabling users to retrieve and modify data on-the-fly, enhancing interactivity and responsiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional presentation software uses static content (text, images, videos), then the presentation structure is simple and easy to operate, but it cannot provide real-time updates or new information in response to audience queries
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (presentation software system with server integration) that mediates between the static presentation content and the dynamic server applications. This intermediary enables real-time data retrieval and updates without requiring the entire presentation system to be complex, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The presentation software is designed with multi-functionality, combining both static content display and dynamic server application integration capabilities. This allows the same system to handle both traditional presentation needs and interactive real-time data retrieval, improving adaptability without requiring separate systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If presentation content is static and predefined, then the presentation software is easy to operate, but it cannot provide new information dynamically in response to audience questions during presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring active regions and associating them with server application features before the presentation begins. This preparation allows the presenter to simply click on active regions during the presentation to retrieve real-time information, maintaining ease of operation while enabling dynamic information provision.
Solution Approach 2:
The presentation system automatically retrieves and displays real-time information from server applications when active regions are activated, without requiring manual intervention or complex operations from the presenter. This self-service capability maintains operational simplicity while providing dynamic adaptability.

AI summary
The present disclosure includes presentations with pages that access data from backend applications. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed where presentation pages are sent from a server and received in a client. The presentation pages may include static pages and interactive pages. Interactive pages include active regions that may be selected to access features on server applications. In one embodiment, an active region may be a portion of a presentation page that is selectable to access an application feature. In another embodiment, an active region may be a presentation page that interactively exposes an application feature in the presentation page.
