Abstract
Described is a system and method for controlling the state and capabilities of a meeting room automatically based on the content being presented. The system can detect certain states (such as transitions to a demo, or question-and-answer sessions) based on content of slides, and can automatically switch displays and other devices in a meeting room to accommodate these new states.
Claims29
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a presentation module operable to generate at least a portion of a representation of a presentation capable of being presented to an audience;
- a plurality of presentation devices operable to present the representation of the presentation to the audience;
- a presentation state detection module operable to receive and analyze a content of the presentation, wherein the content of the presentation comprises at least one slide, to detect at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide of the presentation and to associate the detected at least one keyword with a change in a presentation state;
- and
- a presentation control module operatively coupled with the plurality of presentation devices and the presentation state detection module and operable to cause one or more of the plurality of presentation devices to be reconfigured in accordance with a command received from the presentation state detection module,
- wherein the at least one keyword that is detectable in the at least one slide of the presentation to reconfigure the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices comprises at least one of demo, question, video, a name of a new presenter, and end,
- wherein the at least one keyword comprises the name of the new presenter,
- wherein the presentation state detection module is operable to instruct the presentation control module to reconfigure the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices based on the at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide, and
- wherein the presentation state detection module is operable to detect the name of the new presenter within the presentation and, in response to the presentation state detection module detecting the name of the new presenter within the presentation, instruct the presentation module to load presentation settings of the new presenter.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a presentation module operable to generate a representation of a presentation capable of being provided to an audience;
- a plurality of presentation devices operable to present the representation of the presentation to the audience;
- and
- a presentation state detection module operable to receive and analyze a content of the presentation, wherein the content of the presentation comprises at least one slide, to detect at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide of the presentation, to associate the detected at least one keyword with a change in a presentation state and to send a command to the presentation module, the command instructing the presentation module to manipulate the presentation or a display of the presentation based on the change in a presentation state,
- wherein the at least one keyword that is detectable in the at least one slide of the presentation to reconfigure the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices comprises at least one of demo, question, video, a name of a new presenter, and end,
- wherein the at least one keyword comprises the name of the new presenter,
- wherein the presentation state detection module is operable to reconfigure the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices based on the at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide, and
- wherein the presentation state detection module is operable to detect the name of the new presenter within the presentation and, in response to the presentation state detection module detecting the name of the new presenter within the presentation, instruct the presentation module to load presentation settings of the new presenter.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- utilizing a processor for generating a representation of a presentation capable of being presented to an audience;
- presenting the representation of the presentation to the audience using a plurality of presentation devices;
- analyzing a content of the presentation, wherein the content of the presentation comprises at least one slide;
- detecting at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide of the presentation;
- associating the detected at least one keyword with a change in a state of the presentation;
- and
- reconfiguring one or more of the plurality of presentation devices in accordance with the change in the state of the presentation,
- wherein the at least one keyword that is detectable in the at least one slide of the presentation to reconfigure the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices comprises at least one of demo, question, video, a name of a new presenter, and end,
- wherein the at least one keyword comprises the name of the new presenter,
- wherein the reconfiguring the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices further comprises reconfiguring the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices based on the at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide, and
- wherein the method further comprises detecting the name of the new presenter within the presentation and, in response to the detecting the name of the new presenter within the presentation, instructing loading of presentation settings of the new presenter.
8 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a set of instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to execute a method comprising:
- generating a representation of a presentation capable of being presented to an audience;
- presenting the representation of the presentation to the audience using a plurality of presentation devices;
- analyzing a content of the presentation, wherein the content of the presentation comprises at least one slide;
- detecting at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide of the presentation;
- associating the detected at least one keyword with a change in a state of the presentation;
- and
- reconfiguring one or more of the plurality of presentation devices in accordance with the change in the presentation state,
- wherein the at least one keyword that is detectable in the at least one slide of the presentation to reconfigure the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices comprises at least one of demo, question, video, a name of a new presenter, and end,
- wherein the at least one keyword comprises the name of the new presenter,
- wherein the reconfiguring the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices further comprises reconfiguring the one or more of the plurality of presentation devices based on the at least one keyword contained in the at least one slide, and
- wherein the method further comprises detecting the name of the new presenter within the presentation and, in response to the detecting the name of the new presenter within the presentation, instructing loading of presentation settings of the new presenter.
