Abstract

A graphical user interface ("GUI") is described comprising: a video region for displaying a video of a presenter giving a presentation; a primary slide region for displaying slides used by the presenter during the presentation; and a thumbnail region containing thumbnails representing slides in the presentation, the thumbnails selectable by a user via a cursor control device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThis invention relates generally to the field of graphical user interfaces ("GUIs"). More particularly, the invention relates to an improved GUI for viewing an on-demand presentation.2. Description of the Related ArtCurrent presentation software packages such as Microsoft PowerPoint.RTM. allow a user to generate a set of slides which the user may then discuss during a live presentation. In addition, some of these programs allow a user to digitally store audio along with the slide presentation, thereby allowing the entire presentation (i.e., slides+audio) to be transmitted across a network.However, no comprehensive system exists for producing and distributing on-demand presentations over a network. In addition, no system or method currently available allows companies, organizations and / or individuals to distribute and access streaming, high-quality presentations online. Moreover, no presentation service exists wherein users can sear...
