Abstract:
A method and system for organizing slides by analyzing content and offering alternative solutions for placing content on the slides in an effective and visually interesting organization is provided. The presentation application automatically generates alternative design suggestions for the provided content that effectively utilize the slide space pursuant to analytics performed on the content. Providing alternative design suggestions for organizing content on a slide assists in quickly and easily creating presentations that effectively utilize slide space.

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Presentation editors typically do not offer a robust method for placing content on slides and it is often challenging for presentation creators to envision alternative suggestions regarding where to effectively organize slide content. Such organization is vital for conveying a message to the presentation viewer, making effective use of the slide space, and making presentations more visually interesting. Current presentation editors provide an inflexible and limited tool to organize content on slides. For example, presentation editors simply provide a few slide layouts (also referred to as “slide formats”) from which to choose and only allow users to add content according to the slide format provided. Thus, reorganizing the slide requires selecting a new slide format and re-adding content. 
     It is with respect to these and other general considerations that embodiments have been made. Also, although relatively specific problems have been discussed, it should be understood that the embodiments should not be limited to solving the specific problems identified in the background. 
     SUMMARY 
     This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for quickly organizing content on slides by analyzing inserted content and thereafter offering alternative solutions for placing content on a slide in an effective and visually interesting organization. For example, a presentation editor may initially prompt a creator to insert content. The presentation editor may then analyze the content by running analytics such as, but not limited to, facial recognition, content analysis on the slide, background recognition, analysis of content on other slides, user history, rules and heuristics related to content, invariant region recognition on images, or other data in order to determine slide design suggestions. In some embodiments, these analytics may be performed to assist in placing additional content on the slide, such as text on a background area of an accompanying image. The presentation editor may further offer alternative design suggestions for organizing the content on a slide, wherein the alternative design suggestions are placed within the current slide or are easily accessible for selection. A presentation creator may then simply select an alternative design suggestion and automatically receive a newly organized slide including the inserted content without having to manually re-insert and/or reorganize the content. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure enable a presentation creator to efficiently organize content on slides while making effective use of the slide space. 
     By automatically offering slide design suggestions based on analysis, various technical advantages may be achieved. For example, user efficiency may be increased because a correct slide design suggestion may be quickly selected. In addition, processor cycles may be ultimately reduced because time selecting different designs in an editor may be reduced. Still further, errors may be reduced because appropriate slide designs may be automatically available after analysis. 
     Embodiments may be implemented as a computer process, a computing system or as an article of manufacture such as a computer program product or computer readable media. The computer program product may be computer storage media readable by a computer system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Various embodiments are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which show specific exemplary embodiments. However, embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the embodiments to those skilled in the art. Embodiments may be practiced as methods, systems or devices. Accordingly, embodiments may take the form of a hardware implementation, an entirely software implementation or an implementation combining software and hardware aspects. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates a main selection page  100  of a presentation application. As shown, the main selection page  100  includes a plurality of content types that can be inserted into a presentation. In this example, the content types shown include: images  102 , media  104 , text  106 , SmartArt®  108 , charts  110 , and information graphics  112 . In other examples, other content types may be shown. In this example, this main selection page  100  is used to select what type of content to display on a slide or slides. Also, each content type is linkable to a directory. For example, clicking on the ‘Charts’ content type  110  will make a selection of charts available for the user to insert. Such a selection of charts includes, but is not limited to, bar graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, pictographs, flow charts, and line graphs. A main selection page  100  may also show mixtures of content types. For example, main selection page  100  may offer a choice of text  106  with charts  110 . Any permutation of content type may be offered on main selection page  100 . 
       FIG. 2  illustrates an image gallery page  200  of a presentation application. In this example, if a user selects the ‘Images’ content type  102  from the main selection page as shown and described with reference to  FIG. 1 , an example image gallery  200  may appear. While a two row, three column image gallery  202  is shown, it is understood that alternative methods of displaying images are included within the disclosure. In this example, six images are included in the image gallery  200 . In some embodiments, users place images in a folder from where the presentation application can retrieve images. Alternatively, a user may upload these images directly to the gallery. Still further, a user may select an image stored in a “cloud” data center or elsewhere on the internet. A user can select an image by double clicking on the image or by right clicking on the image and selecting the image. In other embodiments, a user can click on an image and select a button to generate that image on a slide. Yet in other embodiments, a user can drag and drop, copy and paste, or simply upload content to a slide. 
       FIG. 3  illustrates a slide  300  including an image  302  of a flower, selected from the image gallery  202 . The slide  300  further includes slide design suggestions area  304  shown as a vertical bar on the right side of the slide  300 . However in other embodiments, a slide design suggestions area  304  is shown as a drop down menu, an alternative window, or placed horizontally above or below the slide. Still further, slide design suggestions area  304  may be located elsewhere. 
     In this example, if a user selects the image  302  shown in the image gallery  202  in  FIG. 2 , then the presentation application automatically places the image  302  on the slide  300 . As shown in this example, the presentation application placed the image  302  on the right side of the slide  300  by default. In other examples, the presentation application may place the selected image  302  on other areas of the slide  300  such as the left, middle, top, and/or bottom of the slide  300 . Still further, the presentation application may place a border around the selected image  302 . 
     Referring still to  FIG. 3 , placement of the image  302  on the slide  300  may depend on various factors such as, but not limited to placement of the content placeholder, the type of content placeholder, the content placeholder size, and the size of the content inserted. The factors may be used in the analysis of slide design suggestions to suggest. The presentation application may further determine areas of interest within the image and place the image on the slide  300  accordingly. For example, if the image  302  is of a person and a background, then the presentation application may determine the area(s) of interest, such as the person&#39;s face. The presentation application may then suitably place the image on the slide  300  so that the person&#39;s face is placed in an unobstructed area on the slide  300 . For example, if an image includes a person and a background, the presentation application may suitably place the image on the slide so that the person&#39;s face is not obstructed from additional content, such as text on the slide  300 . In the example of  FIG. 3 , the content itself was analyzed so that the location of the content placeholder, in the lower right corner of the slide, was suggested. 
     Furthermore, in some embodiments, the presentation application may use the “rule of thirds” to place the object of interest on the far right or far left area of the slide  300  rather than directly in the middle of the slide. The “rule of thirds” is a suggested methodology for placing an image  302  where it is most visually interesting (e.g., on the left or right side rather than directly in the center). For example, placing the image  302  on the right side of the slide  300  enables text to be placed on the left side of the slide  300 . Additionally, the presentation application may crop or resize the image  302  before placing it on the slide  300 . In the latter case, the content size is adjusted based on the analysis of the content. 
     The slide  300  also includes slide design suggestions area  304  located on the right side of the slide  300 . The slide design suggestions area  304  includes suggested alternative slide designs that can be used in place of slide  300 . In this instance, the suggested alternative slide design suggestions are viewable as thumbnails next to the slide  300 . Although a thumbnail is discussed, one skilled in the art may envision various alternative methods of displaying generated slide design suggestions, such as in a new window, a drop down menu, nested within a ribbon in the application, etc. Slide design suggestions may include variations of content size, content type, number of content placeholders, suggested content, background to slides, or any other slide design suggestions. Content design suggestions may be based on analysis of content on the current slide, content on the previous or next slide, content within the entire slide deck, user history data, user preferences, rules or heuristics about types of content, or other data. 
     For example, slide design suggestions can have text, images, charts, video, or any combination thereof. In the example of  FIG. 3 , the slide design suggestions area  304  includes three alternative slide design suggestions: a slide  308  including a full view of an image that spans the entire slide  308 ; a slide  310  including the selected image  302  that spans part of the slide  310 ; and a slide  312  including the content image  302  next to a text box  314 . While three alternative slide design suggestions are shown in this example, it is understood that more or fewer alternative slide design suggestions may also be included. In some embodiments, the number of design suggestions depends on the content that is inserted, the content that is already on the slide, the content on other slides in the same slide deck, user history with content, and/or the preferences of the presentation creator. 
     In some embodiments, the presentation application disclosed herein may analyze the content and thereafter provide additional design suggestions for displaying other content on a slide. For example, if a slide includes statistics in the form of text, the presentation application may analyze the data and provide alternative means of displaying this data on a slide, such as in the form of a graph. As an example, if a quadratic equation had been entered in a text content placeholder, then a content design suggestion may include a chart of a parabola. The presentation application may query a search server for additional content, the content of the same or different content type, to display with or instead of the content. Alternatively or additionally, the presentation application may retrieve related, supplemental data from a repository or a database and insert additional data not included on the slide. For example, the presentation application may include additional statistics, related to content inserted on the slide that is retrieved from a database. As another example, if a presentation creator added a picture of a beach, the presentation application may analyze this picture and suggest alternative pictures of beaches retrieved from a database. Hence, the alternative design suggestions may be used to supplement content on a slide or used to entirely replace content on a slide. 
     While the slide design suggestions area  304  is located along the right of the slide  300  in the example shown, it is understood that the slide design suggestions area  304  may be positioned along the bottom area, top area, or left area of the slide  300 . Alternatively, the slide design suggestions area  304  may be displayed separately from the slide  300 , such as in a pop-up window or a floating toolbar. 
       FIG. 4  illustrates a slide and slide design suggestions, the slide design suggestions showing variations of content, content types, content size and content position. Here also, the slide suggestions are made based on analysis of factors such as existing slide content, slide content from other slides in the slide deck, user preferences, rules or heuristics associated with the type of content, etc. In particular, this example illustrates a slide that may result after a user selects the third slide  312  design suggestion as shown and described with reference to  FIG. 3 . In this example, selected slide  312  includes the selected image  302  and a text box  314 . The display of slide  312  further provides an additional slide design suggestions area  402  that include further suggestions for a slide. In this instance, the suggested alternative slide design suggestions are viewable as thumbnails next to the slide  312 . Although a thumbnail is discussed, various alternative methods of displaying generated slide design suggestions are possible, such as display in a new window, a drop down menu, nested within a ribbon in the application, etc. In this example, because the user selected the slide  312  that includes two content areas (e.g., image  302  and text box  314 ), the additional slide design suggestions may include different combinations of the two selected content areas laid out on the slide. For example, slide  404  includes a text box  314  on the left of the selected image  302 ; slide  406  includes two text boxes  314 ; slide  408  includes two alternative suggested images  410  and  412  and accompanying text; and slide  414  includes an alternative suggested image  410  and a text box  314  laid horizontally across the top of the slide  412 . While four design suggestions for slide designs are shown in this example, it is understood that more or fewer alternative slide designs may also be included. 
     Notably, the automated system for suggesting individual slide designs may also be used to organize a layout of an existing presentation slide deck. For example, in some embodiments, a presentation creator may open an existing slide deck in the presentation application. The presentation application may then reorganize the content of each slide in the existing slide deck, thereby automatically generating an entirely new slide deck incorporating the content provided in the pre-existing slide deck. 
     As yet another example, a user may have a quadratic equation on a slide in an existing slide deck, and the presentation application may thereafter insert a parabola representing the equation onto a new slide within the same slide deck. The chart may have a similar background, content placeholder size, and content position as the content placeholder that includes the equation. 
       FIG. 5  illustrates a method  500  for organizing a slide using an automatic slide design feature in a presentation application. The method  500  begins at operation  502  in which a presentation creator selects a content type from the main selection page of the presentation application. In the illustrated example, the presentation creator selects “Image” from the content type, however alternative content types include, but are not limited to, media, text, SmartArt®, charts, and information graphics. In operation  504 , the presentation creator selects a particular content from the content gallery. As shown with reference to  FIG. 2 , a variety of images are displayed from which the creator may select. 
     In operation  505 , the presentation application performs analysis on the content selected in order to provide slide design suggestions. As discussed above, analysis includes analysis of content on the current slide, content on the previous or next slide, content within the entire slide deck, user history data, user preferences, rules or heuristics about types of content, or other data. 
     In operation  506 , the presentation creator receives automatically generated slide design suggestions, wherein the automatically generated slide design suggestions include a plurality of generated slide designs. As discussed above, a slide design may describe the type of content that is on a slide, the position of content, the size of content, alternative content that may be displayed instead of the selected content or adjacent to the selected content, font size associated with content, background images associated with content, or any other visual variation of the content. For example, slides can have text, images, charts, video, or any combination thereof. In this instance, a slide design suggestion may be viewable in the main slide  300  and the remaining design suggestions may be viewable, for example, as smaller thumbnails, such as those shown in the slide design suggestion area  304 . 
     In operation  508 , the presentation creator receives a desired slide design. In operation  508 , the presentation creator may select the generated slide that is viewable in the main slide or select another generated slide that is viewable as a smaller thumbnail, such as a slide presented in the slide design suggestions area  304 . Thus, in operation  508 , the presentation creator receives a slide design. 
       FIG. 6  illustrates a method  600  for automatically organizing a slide and generating slide design suggestions by a presentation application. This method begins at operation  602  in which the presentation application performs analysis on inserted content by running analytics such as, but not limited to facial recognition, content analysis on the slide, background recognition, analysis of content on other slides, user history, rules, and heuristics related to the content, invariant region recognition on images, or other data in order to determine slide design suggestions. 
     In operation  604  the presentation application may optionally perform a search for content suggestions based on the analysis conducted in operation  602 . In some embodiments, the analysis is used to supplement or entirely replace content on a slide by retrieving data not provided by the presentation creator. As an example, if a slide includes statistics in the form of text, the presentation application may analyze the data and provide alternative means of displaying this data on a slide, such as in the form of a graph. As yet another example, if a quadratic equation had been entered in a text content placeholder, then a content design suggestion may include a chart of a parabola. The presentation application may query a search server for additional content, the content of the same or different content type, to display with or instead of the content. Alternatively or additionally, the presentation application may retrieve related, supplemental data from a repository or a database and insert additional data not included on the slide. For example, the presentation application may include additional statistics, related to content inserted on the slide that is retrieved from a database. As another example, if a presentation creator added a picture of a beach, the presentation application may analyze this picture and suggest alternative pictures of beaches retrieved from a database. 
     In operation  606 , the presentation application may optionally perform analysis on an area of interest of the image in order to suitably place the content on the slide. The presentation application may perform facial recognition, determine invariant regions in the image, crop and resize content, and/or determine background shapes in order to effectively place content on a slide so that it is unobstructed from other content. For example, if an image includes a person and a background, the presentation application may suitably place the image on the slide so that the person&#39;s face is not obstructed from additional content, such as text on the slide. 
     In operation  608 , the presentation application displays suggested slide designs, from which the user may select, based on results. Operation  608  may involve generating more than one suggested slide design based on the one or more analyses performed in operations  602 - 606 .

       FIGS. 8A and 8B  illustrate a mobile computing device  800 , for example, a mobile telephone, a smart phone, a tablet personal computer  610 , a laptop computer, and the like, with which embodiments of the invention may be practiced. With reference to  FIG. 8A , one embodiment of a mobile computing device  800  for implementing the embodiments is illustrated. In a basic configuration, the mobile computing device  800  is a handheld computer having both input elements and output elements. The mobile computing device  800  typically includes a display  805  and one or more input buttons  810  that allow the user to enter information into the mobile computing device  800 . The display  805  of the mobile computing device  800  may also function as an input device (e.g., a touch screen display). If included, an optional side input element  815  allows further user input. The side input element  815  may be a rotary switch, a button, or any other type of manual input element. In alternative embodiments, mobile computing device  800  may incorporate more or less input elements. For example, the display  805  may not be a touch screen in some embodiments. In yet another alternative embodiment, the mobile computing device  800  is a portable phone system, such as a cellular phone. The mobile computing device  800  may also include an optional keypad  835 . Optional keypad  835  may be a physical keypad or a “soft” keypad generated on the touch screen display. In various embodiments, the output elements include the display  805  for showing a graphical user interface (GUI), a visual indicator  820  (e.g., a light emitting diode), and/or an audio transducer  825  (e.g., a speaker). In some embodiments, the mobile computing device  800  incorporates a vibration transducer for providing the user with tactile feedback. In yet another embodiment, the mobile computing device  800  incorporates input and/or output ports, such as an audio input (e.g., a microphone jack), an audio output (e.g., a headphone jack), and a video output (e.g., a HDMI port) for sending signals to or receiving signals from an external device. 
       FIG. 8B  is a block diagram illustrating the architecture of one embodiment of a mobile computing device. That is, the mobile computing device  800  can incorporate a system (i.e., an architecture)  802  to implement some embodiments. In one embodiment, the system  802  is implemented as a “smart phone” capable of running one or more applications (e.g., browser, e-mail, calendaring, contact managers, messaging clients, games, and media clients/players). In some embodiments, the system  802  is integrated as a computing device, such as an integrated personal digital assistant (PDA) and wireless phone. 
     One or more application programs  866  may be loaded into the memory  862  and run on or in association with the operating system  864 . Examples of the application programs include phone dialer programs, e-mail programs, personal information management (PIM) programs, word processing programs, spreadsheet programs, Internet browser programs, messaging programs, and so forth. The system  802  also includes a non-volatile storage area  868  within the memory  862 . The non-volatile storage area  868  may be used to store persistent information that should not be lost if the system  802  is powered down. The application programs  866  may use and store information in the non-volatile storage area  868 , such as e-mail or other messages used by an e-mail application, and the like. A synchronization application (not shown) also resides on the system  802  and is programmed to interact with a corresponding synchronization application resident on a host computer to keep the information stored in the non-volatile storage area  868  synchronized with corresponding information stored at the host computer. As should be appreciated, other applications may be loaded into the memory  862  and run on the mobile computing device  800 , including the presentation application  118  described herein. 
     The system  802  has a power supply  870 , which may be implemented as one or more batteries. The power supply  870  might further include an external power source, such as an AC adapter or a powered docking cradle that supplements or recharges the batteries. 
     The system  802  may also include a radio  872  that performs the function of transmitting and receiving radio frequency communications. The radio  872  facilitates wireless connectivity between the system  802  and the “outside world,” via a communications carrier or service provider. Transmissions to and from the radio  872  are conducted under control of the operating system  864 . In other words, communications received by the radio  872  may be disseminated to the application programs  866  via the operating system  864 , and vice versa. 
     The audio interface  874  is used to provide audible signals to and receive audible signals from the user. For example, in addition to being coupled to the audio transducer  825 , the audio interface  874  may also be coupled to a microphone to receive audible input, such as to facilitate a telephone conversation. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the microphone may also serve as an audio sensor to facilitate control of notifications, as will be described below. The system  802  may further include a video interface  876  that enables an operation of an on-board camera  830  to record still images, video stream, and the like. 
     A mobile computing device  800  implementing the system  802  may have additional features or functionality. For example, the mobile computing device  800  may also include additional data storage devices (removable and/or non-removable) such as, magnetic disks, optical disks, or tape. Such additional storage is illustrated in  FIG. 8B  by the non-volatile storage area  868 . 
     Data/information generated or captured by the mobile computing device  800  and stored via the system  802  may be stored locally on the mobile computing device  800 , as described above, or the data may be stored on any number of storage media that may be accessed by the device via the radio  872  or via a wired connection between the mobile computing device  800  and a separate computing device associated with the mobile computing device  800 , for example, a server computer in a distributed computing network, such as the Internet. As should be appreciated such data/information may be accessed via the mobile computing device  800  via the radio  872  or via a distributed computing network. Similarly, such data/information may be readily transferred between computing devices for storage and use according to well-known data/information transfer and storage means, including electronic mail and collaborative data/information sharing systems. 
       FIG. 9  illustrates one embodiment of the architecture of a system for providing detection and grouping of graphics elements in a fixed format document to one or more client devices, as described above. Content developed, interacted with, or edited in association with the presentation application  118  may be stored in different communication channels or other storage types. For example, various documents may be stored using a directory service  922 , a web portal  924 , a mailbox service  926 , an instant messaging store  928 , or a social networking site  930 . The presentation application  118  may use any of these types of systems or the like for enabling data utilization, as described herein. A server  920  may provide the presentation application  118  to clients. As one example, the server  920  may be a web server providing the presentation application  118  over the web. The server  920  may provide the presentation application  118  over the web to clients through a network  915 . By way of example, the client computing device may be implemented as the computing device  105  and embodied in a personal computer, a tablet computing device  910  and/or a mobile computing device  800  (e.g., a smart phone). Any of these embodiments of the client computing device  105 ,  610 ,  800  may obtain content from the store  916 .
