Abstract

In some aspects, a method of authoring an interactive presentation includes defining a sequence of two or more primary content items within a presentation, and associating a link to additional content with a primary content item of the sequence in a non-transitory computer-readable medium. In additional aspects, a method of delivering an interactive presentation includes accessing the sequence of two or more primary content items, delivering the primary content items to a presentation device, and delivering, to applications operating on mobile devices of audience members, the primary content items with the additional content and/or one or more links thereto. In further aspects, a method of interacting with an interactive presentation includes receiving, by a mobile device of an audience member, a sequence of primary content items with additional content and/or one or more links thereto, and displaying the received primary content items and the additional content.

Claims30

Dependent claims

A method of authoring an interactive presentation, the method comprising:

receiving, by a computer processor, user selections to define a sequence of two or more primary content items within the presentation;
receiving, by the computer processor, a user selection to link additional content with a primary content item of the sequence of two or more primary content items;
responsive to the user selection, recording the link to the additional content with the primary content item;
receiving, by the computer processor, compiled audience interactions with at least one of any primary content item and the additional content;
and
based on the compiled audience interactions with the at least one of any primary content item and additional content, changing the sequence of two or more primary content items within the presentation or changing the link to the additional content with the primary content item;
where changing the link to the additional content with the primary content item comprises:
for a first audience member, recording a link to first other additional content with at least one of the primary content item or another primary content item, and
for a second audience member, recording a link to second other additional content with at least one of the primary content item or another primary content item;
where the first other additional content and the primary content item or another primary content item are linked for display to the first audience member, and the second other additional content and the primary content item or another primary content item are linked for display to the second audience member.

means for receiving user selections to define a sequence of two or more primary content items within the presentation;
means for receiving a user selection to link additional content with a primary content item of the sequence of two or more primary content items;
responsive to the user selection, recording the link to the additional content with the primary content item;
means for receiving, by the computer processor, compiled audience interactions with at least one of any primary content item and the additional content;
and
based on the compiled audience interactions with the at least one of any primary content item and additional content, changing the sequence of two or more primary content items within the presentation or changing the link to the additional content with the primary content item;
where changing the link to the additional content with the primary content item comprises:
for a first audience member, recording a link to first other additional content with at least one of the primary content item or another primary content item, and
for a second audience member, recording a link to second other additional content with at least one of the primary content item or another primary content item;

7 more elements

A method of delivering an interactive presentation, the method comprising:

accessing, by a computer processor, a non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded therein a sequence of two or more primary content items, where the non-transitory computer-readable medium has recorded therein a link to additional content with a primary content item of the sequence of two or more primary content items;
delivering, by the computer processor, to
one or more applications operating on mobile devices of audience members:
the primary content items according to the sequence, and
at least one of the additional content or the link to the additional content, where the delivery of the at least one of the additional content or the link occurs substantially simultaneously with the delivery of the primary content item linked to the additional content;
receiving, by the computer processor, data representing audience member interactions with at least one of any primary content item and the additional content;
storing compiled audience member interactions in the non-transitory computer-readable medium;
and
changing, based on the compiled audience interactions with the at least one of any primary content item and additional content, the sequence of two or more primary content items within the presentation or the link to the additional content with the primary content item;
where changing the link to the additional content with the primary content item comprises:
for a first audience member, recording a link to first additional content with the primary content item, and
for a second audience member, recording a link to second additional content with the primary content item;
where the first additional content and the primary content item are linked for display to the first audience member and the second additional content and the primary content items are linked for display to the second audience member.

An apparatus for delivering an interactive presentation, the apparatus comprising:

means for accessing a non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded therein a sequence of two or more primary content items, where the non-transitory computer-readable medium has recorded therein a link to additional content with a primary content item of the sequence of two or more primary content items;
means for delivering, by the computer processor, to
one or more applications operating on mobile devices of audience members;
the primary content items according to the sequence, and
means for delivering at least one of the additional content or the link to the additional content, where the delivery of the at least one of the additional content or the link occurs substantially simultaneously with the delivery of the primary content item linked to the additional content;
means for receiving, by the computer processor, data representing audience member interactions with at least one of any primary content item and the additional content;
means for storing compiled audience member interactions in the non-transitory computer-readable medium;
means for, based on the compiled audience interactions with the at least one of any primary content item and additional content, changing the sequence of two or more primary content items within the presentation or the link to the additional content with the primary content item;
where changing the link to the additional content with the primary content item comprises:
for a first audience member, recording a link to first additional content with the primary content item, and
for a second audience member, recording a link to second additional content with the primary content item;
where the first additional content and the primary content item are linked for display to the first audience member and the second additional content and the primary content items are linked for display to the second audience member.
