Definitions
- the present invention relates to a computer-assisted method for making a presentation drawn from a plurality of visual media. More particularly, this invention pertains to such a method that permits user/machine interaction in the design and programming of a multi-media presentation and user/machine/audience interaction in its delivery.
- the presentation of information is an essential educational and persuasive function of commerce.
- the prepared or formal narrated audio-visual presentation is a ubiquitous adjunct of modern-day sales of both goods and services and the development of this hybrid of technology and psychology continues unabated, seeking and finding new applications on a more or less continual basis.
- audio-visual presentations have been limited to text and images; that is, stills, graphs and the like. This is in recognition of the fact that some information is mote usefully presented in at least a partially visual manner.
- Systems for making such presentations include the overhead projector, the television monitor, the slide projector and related technologies.
- audio-visual presentations should be as unencumbered as possible with technology-imposed pauses or “breaks” that can cause a viewer to become fatigued thereby limiting his attention span. Also, even a “smooth” presentation, if poorly designed, may lose the audience's attention through internal aesthetic illogic and/or incompatibility with the dynamic “mood” of the audience. Thus, in both the creation and delivery of an effective presentation, the speaker or advocate should possess maximum flexibility of action. Computer-assisted systems frequently provide additional tools but fail to permit the user to address important audience psychology issues.
- the invention provides, in a first aspect, a method for presenting a multi-media plurality of visual elements.
- the method is begun by assigning a unique index to each of the elements and loading each element by such index into a predetermined input device.
- the input devices are addressed so that selected elements are displayed.
- a select/reject decision is then made with respect to the displayed elements and the process is repeated until a frame comprising at least one visual element is completed.
- the frame is then stored in a script buffer and the process is repeated until a plurality of frames constituting a presentation is accumulated in the buffer.
- a predetermined frame is then selected and displayed in a selected format. This process is repeated until the presentation is finished.
- the invention provides apparatus for presenting a multi-media plurality of visual elements.
- Such apparatus includes means for assigning a unique index to each of the elements.
- a plurality of input devices is provided as is means for loading each of the elements into preselected ones of the input devices.
- Means are provided for addressing the input devices so that selected elements are recalled and for displaying the recalled elements. Means are additionally provided for making a select/reject decision with respect to each of the displayed elements so that at least one frame comprising a plurality of elements is formed.
- Means are additionally provided for storing the frames and for recalling predetermined ones thereof. Finally, means are provided for displaying the frames in a preselected format.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an application of the present invention to courtroom advocacy
- FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the subsystem for constructing a presentation in accordance with the method of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the subsystem for delivering a presentation in accordance with the method of the invention
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of the process for constructing a presentations
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the process for delivering a presentation in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an application of the present invention to courtroom advocacy.
- the method is adapted in the arrangement of FIG. 1 to enhance the effective presentation of documentary evidence to a judge 10 and/or other trier of fact such as a jury (not shown) who may view it on a conveniently-positioned CRT-type display 12 .
- a second display device 14 , associated CPU 18 , input device such as a keyboard 20 and a switching panel 21 for “previewing” purposes (discussed below) are located at the command table of an attorney/user 16 .
- Also illustrated in the figure as an additional system option and capability arc a large screen video projector 23 and a courtroom mounted television camera 25 .
- the large screen projector 23 may be particularly useful for the presentation of video evidence to a jury (not shown) while the camera 25 , which may comprise part of either a super VGA digital (for display on a computer-type screen) or an analog (for display on a CRT type screen) system may be usefully employed in a courtroom setting as the system described below can be readily extended to support real time video applications such as the taping of witness testimony (on the stand) and for telecommunications.
- the extension of the invention to such real time video applications readily follows, and will be apparent from the structure of the system as described below.
- the CPU 18 (which includes memory) is electronically and functionally coupled to the display 12 of the judge 10 and to a third display 22 located at the counsel table of the opposing attorney 24 .
- the switching panel 21 permits the attorney/use 16 to selectively “blank” both the court's and the opposing counsel's display screens.
- An examining attorney 26 can control the timing of the sequence of frames forming the presentation by means of a hand-held “mouse” or “clicker” 28 .
- the sequence may be controlled by the attorney/user 16 through manipulation of the keyboard 20 or other input device.
- the sequence of frames forming a presentation may be selected by any number of criteria. Such criteria will often depend upon the type of application. In a courtroom setting, for example, the frame sequence and timing may be dictated by the order in which the examining counsel 26 plans to present documents 30 to a witness 32 . (Alternatively, the witness might be provided with a separate passive display device.) This will give attorneys, witnesses and the trier of fact the benefit of numerous clarifying visual effects. Variations and mixtures of such courtroom arrangements are, of course, possible.
- each attorney and witness can be provided with both a display and a hard copy of all documentary evidence with the exception of evidence, such as motion video, that is inappropriate for presentation via hard copy.
- evidence such as motion video
- Local evidentiary rules and constraints, along with the parties' stipulations, will dictate acceptable system and method variations.
- Non-courtroom presentations, whether of legal documents or otherwise, will call for other criteria.
- FIG. 1 While the system as illustrated in FIG. 1 is integrated into a courtroom setting, it will be appreciated from the discussion that follows that it may be readily adapted to any type of presentation, providing the benefits of computer-assisted user/machine/audience interaction to numerous applications of the technology. General business presentations will oftentimes benefit from the resulting ease of observation of a cohesive and well-coordinated custom designed and displayed presentation in accordance with the methods disclosed herein.
- index number Once the elements stored in means 35 and 37 have been assigned index number they become addressable by those index numbers for input to the presentation system.
- Various conventional input devices are provided for retrieval of the prepared and indexed visual effects by index number.
- Representative input devices include a laser disk player 34 for still and motion video images and an optical disk player 36 for documents, each of which is coupled to the appropriate storage means.
- Other known arrangements are, of course, possible.
- a VHS recorder can he employed for storage of motion and still video information on a video tape medium while a magnetic disk player may be employed for retrieval of documents stored on magnetic disk.
- a construction keyboard 38 permits the user to address the storage means 35 and 37 by index numbers to call up the desired images for eventual viewing on a conventional CRT display device 40 .
- the screen 42 of the display device 40 is configured in a WINDOWS format whereby, by utilizing software of the type commercially available from Videologic, Inc., the index-addressed video images may be selectively displayed within desired WINDOWS sections.
- a dynamic buffer 44 accepts and stores the parameters that describe the design (whether default or customized) of the screen 42 .
- a script buffer 46 receives digital inputs from the construction keyboard 38 defining presentation “frames.” Such data includes the index numbers of selected visual elements and the parameters that describe the design of the screen 42 . Such data are entered into the script buffer 46 as the screen display is designed while, upon the entry of a “COMPLETE” or “END” command from the keyboard 38 , a hard disk/script file 48 stores the plurality of design frames that comprise an entire presentation.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the subsystem for delivering a presentation in accordance with the method of the invention.
- displays 12 , 14 and 22 are provided for the court, the user/attorney and the opposing attorney respectively.
- the keyboard 20 communicates with the CPU 18 , thereby permitting the user/attorney to address the CPU 18 .
- the hard disk or script file 48 that stores the plurality of custom-designed frames that define the presentation is coupled to the CPU 18 as are the input devices 34 and 36 .
- the user/attorney may manipulate the presentation keyboard 20 so that selected presentation frames are recalled from the script file 48 .
- the index numbers and parameters defining the design of the frame screens may then be retrieved by the CPU 18 to actuate the input devices 34 and 36 .
- the presentation frames may be viewed on the display devices 12 , 14 and 22 .
- the control switch 21 operable only by the user/attorney 16 , permits him to control (i.e. blank or view) the screens of the display devices 12 and 22 . This feature permits the user/attorney 16 to “preview” presentation frames prior to display, adding additional flexibility to the system.
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of the process for constructing a presentation in accordance with the invention. This process is begun at step S- 1 by the user addressing the various storage devices such as the video storage means 35 and the document storage means 37 by multi-media element index numbers to thereby specify the visual elements that he wishes to try in a frame that is to be part of the presentation. The elements are then input to the appropriate image players 34 and 36 and displayed on the screen 42 of the display device 40 as shown at step S- 2 .
- step S- 8 an evaluation is made of the completeness of the presentation.
- step S- 9 the script may be rearranged in sequence.
- the data defined in presentation frames is initially entered into the script buffer 46 sequentially by order of composition.
- the user wishes to reorder the frames he may redefine their order, rearranging the data within the script buffer 46 by entry of appropriate commands through the keyboard 38 at step S- 10 .
- step S- 11 by entering a command through the keyboard 38 to cause the data within the script buffer 46 to be written to the hard disk 48 which acts as the script file.
- the user is provided with a systematic and interactive computer-assisted system for creating a custom made presentation of the various multi-media elements available for selection.
- the delivery phase of the process may take place in a courtroom, a boardroom or any one of innumerable settings.
- the user is not limited to the designed script but rather possesses a substantial degree of flexibility during delivery. This may be particularly useful in a courtroom setting where one must be able to react to unexpected developments.
- the user/attorney can display the selected frame at step D- 4 on the screen of his courtroom display device 14 . This allows some “last minute” rearrangement of the frame's design.
- the user may choose to alter some of the settings defining the display parameters by again calling up the display scrollbar and making the appropriate adjustments at step D- 6 .
- Such adjustments may include selecting the number of elements displayed, selecting the sizes of the elements displayed, selecting the relative positions of the elements, selecting the zoom level of each of the elements, and/or selecting the timing of element displays.
- the user/attorney is still left with a choice as to whether the frame is to be presented to the court and to the opposing attorney.
- the attorney/user seated at his counsel table next ascertains whether or not additional visual evidence, in the form of presentation frames, is to be shown at step D- 9 . In the event that the examination of a witness, for example, is complete, he may wish to terminate at this point.
- the switch 21 is in activated at step D- 10 to permit the attorney/user to continue to work without disrupting or confusing either the court or the opposing attorney. Of course, this permits the attorney/user to work without concern about the opposing attorney looking “over his shoulder.”
- the user of the system is provided with additional “on the spot” flexibility that permits him to vary from the scripted order and, to a limited extent, re-customize each frame prior to display.
- the interactive frame construction method of the prior figure provides the user with a great deal of flexibility in designing a presentation
- the effect experienced by the viewing “audience” whether it be attorneys, a judge, jurors or, in other contexts, potential buyers, government officials or the like is not entirely outside his control after the construction process has occurred. Rather, one may readily adapt a carefully-design presentation to the changing circumstances. For example, questions may arise during a business presentation that would suggest some variance in the order of frame presentation. This can be seen to be easily accomplished by the method of the invention as described with reference to FIG. 5 .
- the present invention provides an improved method for presenting a plurality of multi-media elements.
- the teachings of the invention which may be directly adapted to many fields of endeavor including law, business, medicine, government or any medium in which advocacy is required or, for that matter, to fields such as education which do not necessary fall within the bounds of advocacy, the user is provided with a powerful tool that enables him to carefully design a presentation that will capture the audience's attention.
- the interactive presentation system (marketed under the trademark “IPS”) disclosed herein includes numerous hardware components that, apart from the system, function in conventional manners well known in the art, when combined (and driven by appropriate software module that are also well known in the art), a unique system function design process of total interactive display is achieved.
- the basic system is readily amenable to useful extensions such as the real time video applications discussed above. This can be achieved by employing a PC VCR, controlled by the IPS software, that allows the re-recording of pre-scripted video, real time video, scripted documents, annotated documents and scripted presentation for re-review on standard VHS players.
