The views of the slides can be changed, e.g., from filmstrip to grid view to single slide full screen views. One or more slides and/or sets of slides can be password protected. | 12-17-2015 |

20160018978 | Systems and Applications for Display Devices - The present disclosure provides a computer system that is programmed to display media through a display device. The display device may be mountable on a user or an inanimate object. The display device can include a visual curvilinear display mounted on a support member. A user may display or project media through the visual curvilinear display according to a display and/or location preference or schedule of said user. | 01-21-2016 |
20160026376 | GRID-BASED VISUAL DESIGN ENVIRONMENT - In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and computer-readable devices for presenting, by a computing system, multiple cells that are arranged in a multi-dimensional grid of cells. The computing system may display content in a first cell without displaying the content in a second cell. The computing system may present a first user interface element that is to expand the display of the content from the first cell to both the first cell and the second cell. The computing system may receive first user input that selects the first user interface element. The computing system may display, in response to receiving the first user input, the content in the first cell and the second cell. | 01-28-2016 |
20160062576 | PRESENTATION APPARATUS AND METHOD PROVIDING COMPOSER CONTENT CONTROL AND PRESENTER SELECTION FLEXIBILITY FOR CRAFTING PRESENTATIONS - A system for creation of content and assembly of selected content for a presentation, with a composer that creates and stores content modules in a library, each content module locked from change except by the composer, and a communications network linking the library with a performer that accesses selected content modules for a non-linear pitch presentation of the content therein, the presentation tracked and reported for a targeted development to modify and improve the presentation based on the presentation failing to meet a pre-determined criteria. A presentation method is disclosed. | 03-03-2016 |
20160125632 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CREATING COMIC STRIP - A method for creating a comic strip includes selecting a background image from a number of background images for a number of comic cells of the comic strip, selecting a character from a number of characters to appear in the comic cells, selecting a character expression from a number of character expressions for the character to make, inputting text speech corresponding to the at least one character, and inputting audio for the character to speak. The comic cells can include different background images and different characters. The comic strip can be created by one user or a number of users. | 05-05-2016 |
20160132225 | INTERACTIVE DATA-DRIVEN PRESENTATIONS - The techniques and systems described herein efficiently and effectively enable an author to create an interactive, data-driven presentation during an authoring stage. Moreover, the techniques and systems enable a consumer to interact with the data-driven presentation during a consuming stage. For example, the techniques and systems generate and output graphical user interfaces that enable an author to define consumer interaction settings so a consumer of the presentation can: switch between alternative types of visual elements (e.g., charts), determine whether a visual element is presented with or without animation, determine a presentation timing of visual elements and/or textual elements, determine presentation styles (e.g., color scheme, font type, etc.), filter a set of data presented in a visual element so that a subset of the data can be viewed or distinguished, and/or adjust a scale associated with a visual element (e.g., change a scale for an axis of a chart). | 05-12-2016 |
20160188136 | System and Method that Internally Converts PowerPoint Non-Editable and Motionless Presentation Mode Slides Into Editable and Mobile Presentation Mode Slides (iSlides) - The invention is packed into an iSlide-Add-in for PowerPoint that, on the one hand, overcomes all interactivity flaws reported by the active audience literature and conference speakers' experience; on the other hand, it overcomes dependency from external elements and removes concerns about security and vulnerability. iSlides is a system because it installs the iSlide-Add-in from the executable software iSlidesInstaller.exe | 06-30-2016 |
