Presentation Management System for Real-Time Audience Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current slide presentation technologies do not provide real-time feedback on audience engagement and do not allow for efficient commenting or question-asking during presentations, as they either share entire decks or rely on post-presentation surveys that lack real-time interaction data.
Innovation Solution
A system that identifies and processes audience interactions with presentation pages to generate metadata, which is used to create an action plan for updating the presentation in real-time, including suggestions for including or excluding slides, ordering, and selecting speaker notes based on audience engagement and feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the presenter shares the entire slide deck with audience members, then the audience can view all presentation content, but the presenter cannot receive real-time feedback on which slides the audience is most interested in
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where audience members can interact with individual slides through a web interface, providing real-time feedback on their interest levels. This feedback is transmitted to the presenter's device, allowing the presenter to see which slides are most engaging and adjust the presentation accordingly. The feedback loop resolves the contradiction by enabling information flow from audience to presenter without requiring complex additional hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a web-based interface that can be accessed by multiple audience members simultaneously through standard web browsers. This universal access method eliminates the need for specialized devices or software installations, allowing the feedback system to work across diverse audience devices while maintaining system simplicity.
2Loss of time
If post-presentation surveys are used to gather audience feedback, then the presenter can receive audience opinions, but the feedback is not received in real-time and cannot influence the ongoing presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The system sets up the feedback mechanism before the presentation begins. Audience members are provided with access to the web interface where they can rate slides as they view them during the presentation. This preliminary setup allows feedback to be collected continuously throughout the presentation rather than requiring a separate post-presentation survey step.
Solution Approach 2:
Audience members independently rate slides through the web interface at their own convenience during the presentation. The system automatically collects and transmits this feedback without requiring manual intervention from the presenter or a dedicated feedback collection process, making the interaction easy for audience members while providing real-time data to the presenter.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional slide deck sharing is used, then the presentation can be delivered to the audience, but there is no mechanism for audience members to efficiently comment on or ask questions about individual slides
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a web-based intermediary system that sits between the presentation content and the audience members. This intermediary provides standardized interaction capabilities (rating, commenting, questioning) through a uniform web interface, enabling adaptable audience engagement with individual slides without requiring complex custom software or hardware modifications on each audience device.
Data Source
AI summary
Managing a presentation includes identifying audience member interactions with a plurality of presentation pages. Each of the plurality of presentation pages is associated with data indicative of the audience member interactions. That data is processed to identify an action plan specifying an update to the presentation. That update is based on identified audience member interactions with at least one of the plurality of presentation pages. The action plan is implemented to update the presentation.
