Abstract
Technologies are generally provided for creating content by detecting user intent and providing suggestions associated with content actions. User intent may be determined from a number of different factors associated with the user, a document, and an environment of the user and/or content. Suggestions on content actions such as placement, style, formatting, or extent of content may be automatically made to the user. Suggestions may also be provided based on other factors such as crowd sourcing. In addition to automatic emphasis and connection, content transformation may be enabled prior to consumption after the author has created the content.
Claims20
A method to be executed in a computing device to create content through author intent based suggestions, the method comprising:
- determining an author intent based on one or more of an author attribute, a content context, a content attribute, a collaboration attribute, a trend, and a computing device attribute;
- identifying one or more content actions based on the author intent;
- displaying the one or more content actions as suggestions for creating the content;
- and
- implementing one or more selected content actions in response to receiving a selection.
A computing device to create content through author intent based suggestions, the computing device comprising:
- a memory;
- a display;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory and the display, the processing unit executing an authoring application, wherein the authoring application is configured to:
- determine an author intent based on one or more of an author attribute, a content context, a content attribute, a collaboration attribute, a trend, and a computing device attribute;
- identify one or more content actions based on the author intent;
- display the one or more content actions as suggestions to create the content in an implemented mode such that the author views each content action as performed;
- and
- implement one or more selected content actions in response to receiving a selection.
A computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon to create content through author intent based suggestions, the instructions comprising:
- determining an author intent based on one or more of an author attribute, a content context, a content attribute, a collaboration attribute, a trend, and a computing device attribute;
- identifying one or more content actions based on the author intent;
- displaying the one or more content actions as suggestions to create the content in an implemented mode such that the author views each content action as performed;
- implementing one or more selected content actions in response to receiving a selection;
- and
- enabling transformation of the created content based on one or more of a consumer attribute and a consumer intent subsequent to publication of the content to potential consumers of the content.
