  • Patent number: 10613720
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, when authoring an IMP, a designer may utilize an authoring tool to edit the visual and audio content associated with particular nodes. Further, in an embodiment, a designer may utilize an authoring tool to manipulate blocks corresponding to nodes of the IMP. For example, the authoring tool may include a library of stencils that the designer can utilize to create blocks corresponding to nodes of the IMP. In an embodiment, a designer may link the blocks to create a flow or tree establishing an ordered relationship between the blocks. A set of rules and/or facts may be generated based on the blocks and the designed flow. During IMP presentation, a rules engine may operate to activate nodes of the IMP based on the generated rules and/or facts.

  • Patent number: 10037123
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a designer may utilize an authoring tool to create or edit an interactive media pack (“IMP”). The authoring tool may facilitate creation of multiple versions of an IMP or IMP part. These versions may each be specific to a particular delivery-channel. For example, in an embodiment, a first version may be specific to an IMP presentation made via a graphical user-interface of an application on a mobile device, and a second version may be specific to an IMP presentation made via an interactive voice response system. In some instances, versions for a particular IMP or IMP part may be understood to be linked. That is, progress of an IMP presentation may be tracked so that a user may switch between a first version and second version while losing little, if any, progress in the presentation.
