Abstract

In a presentation with the aid of slides by using an overhead projector, slide devices or computer software packages it is necessary for slides to be displayed forward or backward in a sequence. Moreover two or three machines are used to contribute flexibility to the presentation. This invention eliminates the obligation of presenting slides in a sequence by enabling right, left, upward and forward movement between the files (pages) interconnected to each other by motion keys (fields) on computer screen or presentation screen within the visual presentation plan by use of a wireless remote controller, cable connected hand controller or laser pointer.

Description

DESCRIPTION

a) Title of the invention: Presentation Management System b) Technical field that the invention is interrelated and Present situation of technique: Invented device shall be used in computer aided presentations. At present, Presentations are managed by headlamp projectors, slide machines or computer package programs in the form of slides. In all three conditions, slides are displayed on the monitor (or screen) in sequence and when rewinding is needed, it is necessary to return with the same sequence. Passage of squares through each other must be made without disturbing this sequence or 2 or 3 .presentation machines must be used to contribute flexibility to the presentation. c) The Technical Problems that the invention aims to solve; By invented device, slides displayed on the monitor or the screen are not required to be displayed in sequence,, it provides display of any .slide on the monitor or the screen and by doing so, it is possible to see the place of slide within the presentation plan. d) Description of Pictures

10) Upward movement Key (field)

11) Downward movement Key (field) 12) Chassis connection 13) + pole

14) Wave carrier

15) Approval backward e) Description of invention: There are 20 keys on the device operating in the basis of wireless, infrared or cable communication formed by 10 presentation fields (1), 1 key for controlling heading field (2), 1 approval (enter)key (3), 1 backward key (4), 1 forward key (5), 1 Key to return to Main Page (6), 1 Key to show the place on the flow chart (7) and 4 keys for slide motion to right (8), left (9), up (10) and downwards (11).

In case the presentation is required to be made by light pointer, infrared sensor are installed to each outer edges of 10 presentation fields, 1 heading field and 5 controlling field (1 backward, 1 forward, 1 return .(to main page), 1 enter and 1 navigation field).

When the device was operated the test display is shown on the screen. On the test display, the heading field is at the top and there are 10 presentation area 5 being at the left and 5 being at the right in two rows, below this there are at left side rewinding and at right side forwarding fields and at the right side of rewinding field there is return (to main page) field, navigation field is at left side of the forwarding field and the enter field is at the central location and all fields on .the . display is divided by lines. The background of test display is white and the color of the dividing lines are black.

Should a light pointer on which a laser and a infrared diode is placed shall be used (pointer has single button with two _. osition and in the firs position laser is activated in the second and stronger position infrared transmitter is activated) clamped infrared receivers (sensors) are attached to the outer edges of their own fields provided that sensor of each area is placed its own field (the fields corresponding to each sensor are written). Each sensor is marked by pointer under guidance of light (are tested). The color of light fields are changed (for example turns to be blue). When the light is pointed to the same place it returns to its previous situation. When enter key is pressed when it is blue, the sample test page containing the plain text is displayed. Hence the link control is completed. Should hand device shall be used in presentation, the same test is performed by pressing to the keys of the same test device.

The connection of the sjstem with sensor or manual control to the computer is realized with four cable multiplier system. One of the cables is chassis connection (12), other is + pole (13), wave carrier (14) and the remaining one is approval return (15) cable.

There is a main page for presentation system. The main headings are recorded here. Each of this heading corresponds to a presentation field. There are indicators at the outer side of fields containing more information. When the fields are selected for several times the selected areas get brighter and brighter. When they are reselected this brightness is disappeared. When the approval area is activated when it is selected (when it is bπghtX the other interconnected file is reached. This connection can be made to a plain text, to the pages in a presentation program being currently used, to a picture file, to a audio file or to an web site. The field with which a connection presents is shown with an indicator at side. This indicator may be different color strip for different areas or may be different numbers of strips according to field interrelated or may be the initial letter of the field (Plain Text: T, Picture: P, Sound: S, Web: W). The color of indicator-is -different for each. This is-shown .with Ihe same .color boxes in flow -chart. In case of inclusion of link, passage from this file to the other files is possible. Presenter can see the location of the present slide within the genera presentation plan by pressing navigation button in any time he/she wishes.

If it is required to go backward in this situation the backward key is pressed and this field is activated in the screen. If it is required to go next slight forward key is pressed ,i.e., forward field is activated (there is no need to .press approval/enter key).

There is no need for use of all areas during data input. When the data input of a slide has been completed, one can go to ihe next slight by a key. f) Method of application of invention: Computer is operated. The presentation program is selected. The screen is prepared beforehand. The test displayed is seen on the screen. At this stage, keys of each field are pressed and hence test is performed by 100 remote control at hand. If the presentation is planned to be performed by laser pointer sensors on which name of fields are written are installed to the edges of fields on the test display. And each field is illuminated by laser pointer in such a way that infrared light can reach to the sensor. And it is tested if the fields are activated or not one by one.

After completion of testing the presentation directory is opened. All elements of the same directory is inside the same directory. Hence the passage with links shall be rapid. Firstly the header page is displayed. Presenter understands that there is other information in the fields with . indicators ^ t ..sides. If he/she wishes to reach to this

110 information, he/she activates this field by pointer or by pressing on related key and by pressing enter (approval key) afterwards. He/she can access to the other pages through links. The presenter thinking he/she lost within this directory structure and wishing to see location of the slide within presentation ...plan can see the location of the slide by pressing navigation key or activating on the screen by pointer. Main slight sequence is

115 locatedin the main root of flow -chart The ϋow-chart shows links towards sides. Flow chart may be more than one pages. In this case the arrow pointing downwards shows that the page continues downwards. By pressing ">" .(forward) key at the right bottom edge of page or by activating the corresponding field on the screen the next page in the flow chart is passed. For backward motion "<" .(backward) key at the left bottom side of

120 the page is pressed or the corresponding field on the screen is activated. If the presenter wishes, he/she can show the flow chart of ll .presentation at the beginning of presentation to the spectators. When the navigation key is repressed the flow chart disappears.
