  • Patent number: 11610044
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein dynamically presents content in a presentation based on physical cues received from attendees to the presentation. In a particular implementation, a method provides, after commencing a presentation comprising content items presented by a computing system in a first sequence, identifying one or more physical cues from a plurality of attendees to the presentation. The method further provides modifying the first sequence based on the physical cues to create a second sequence for which the content items will be presented and presenting the content items in the second sequence to the plurality of attendees.

  • Patent number: 10984171
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein presents content dynamically based on physical cues received from a consumer of the presented content. In a particular implementation, a method provides determining first content items for presentation to a user and determining a first sequence in which the first content items should be presented to the user. During presentation of the first content items in the first sequence to the user, the method provides identifying at least one physical cue from the user and modifying the first sequence based on the at least one physical cue to create a second sequence in which the first content items should be presented to the user. The method then provides presenting the first content items to the user in the second sequence.

  • Publication number: 20200160387
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein provides targets offers by selecting a subsequent offer for presentation to a user based on that user's reaction to one or more previously presented offers. In a particular implementation, a method provides, presenting one or more first offers to the user and tracking behavior of the user responsive to being presented with each of the first offers. The method further provides identifying the subsequent offer from a plurality of potential offers based on the behavior and presenting the subsequent offer to the user.

  • Publication number: 20200034369
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide improvements for dynamically modifying the presentation of content items to end users. In one example, a summary service determines first content items associated with an end user and determines a first sequence for the first content items. The summary service further monitors user interactions with one or more secondary services and determines content of interest for the end user based on the user interactions. As the content of interest is identified, the summary service determines second content items to be presented to the end user and determines a second sequence for the second content items based on the content of interest.

  • Publication number: 20180039708
    Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable generating a multi-reference event summary, an event detection module monitors one or more information sources. A collection module receives instructions from the event detection module to collect references that relate to a detected event. Collected references can be evaluated for their suitability and content and may be provided to a summarizing engine by the collection module. Various references may be used to obtain character strings that can be assembled to create the event summary. Moreover, additional content relating to the detected event may be appended to enhance the summary and metadata (e.g., regarding references considered, utilized, etc.) attached to and/or included in the event summary.
