Method, system and user interface for creating and displaying of presentations

Abstract

A method and system for creating at least one presentation, comprising: at least one computer; at least one application operable on the at least one computer, the at least one application configured for: receiving a plurality of assets; and allowing at least one user to define the at least one presentation over the time that the at least one presentation is to be displayed, using at least two assets to be simultaneously presented for at least one selected point in time.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system for creating at least one presentation, comprising:
 at least one computer;   at least one application operable on the at least one computer, the at least one application configured for:   receiving a plurality of assets; and   allowing at least one user to define the at least one presentation over the time that the at least one presentation is to be displayed, using at least two assets to be simultaneously presented for at least one selected point in time.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for:
 displaying the at least one presentation.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the assets are interactive and/or non-interactive. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the interactive assets comprise at least one widget. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the non-interactive assets are real-time and/or non real-time. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one widget is configured for:
 gathering user input;   providing dialogue with at least one user;   providing interactivity between at least one user and the at least one presentation;   providing interactivity between at least one user and at least one asset; or   providing interactivity between multiple users; or any combination thereof.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one widget comprises: at least one text chat widget, at least one audio/video chat widget, at least one asset browser widget, at least one discussion widget, at least one audio recording/playback widget, at least one video recording/playback widget, at least one stream playback widget, at least one audio/video editing widget, at least one document viewing widget, at least one document editing widget, at least one linking widget, at least one activity widget, at least one slide show editing/viewing widget, at least one diagram editing/viewing widget, at least one drawing suite widget, at least one whiteboard widget, at least one polling widget, at least one survey widget, at least one assessment widget, at least one spreadsheet widget, at least one user list widget, at least one source code viewing and editing widget, at least one tracking widget, at least one glossary widget, at least one screen sharing and/or screen recording widget, at least one wiki widget, at least one bookmark widget, at least one calculator widget, at least one presentation index widget, at least one layers widget, at least one integrations widget, or at least one third party platform interactive widget, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for:
 displaying the assets in at least one layout configuration.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the displaying can be done in automatic or manual mode. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one user can determine which mode to use. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one computer is:
 non-networked;   in a television;   connected with at least one intranet; connected with at least one Internet; or in at least one mobile device; or   any combination thereof.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one mobile device comprises: at least one laptop; at least one phone; at least one personal assistant device; at least one tablet computer; or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein at least one widget can be displayed on top of at least one other widget. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for allowing at least one user to define at least one proposed layout of the at least one presentation. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for:
 interacting directly and/or indirectly with at least one user; or   interacting between at least one user and at least one other user; or   any combination thereof.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for:
 allowing at least one editor to define the at least one presentation by utilizing at least one track for defining the state of the at least one presentation and/or at least one change of the at least one state of the at least one presentation.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the at least one track comprises at least one asset track and/or at least one control track. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for predicting the at least one editor's intentions relating to defining the at least one presentation by determining where the at least one editor clicks on at least one screen. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for presenting the at least one editor with at least one option for defining the at least one presentation. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one application is further configured for defining constraints related to at least one user's ability to modify the at least one presentation.
