Intelligent agenda object for showing contextual location within a presentation application

摘要

A method for displaying a slide show containing an outline that follows the progression of the user's presentation comprising a Configuration Program (CP) and an Intelligent Agenda Program (IAP). The CP allows the user to configure the intelligent agenda of the present invention. When configuring the display options, the user can configure the expansion of the outline on the intelligent agenda, limit the number of displayed lines in the intelligent agenda, and limit the topics displayed on the intelligent agenda. The IAP runs whenever the user runs the presentation program associated with the present invention. The IAP displays the outline according to the expansion configuration and modifies the outline based on the configuration limitations defined by the user. The intelligent agenda tracks the user's progression through the presentation and indicates to the audience the contextual location of the current topic in the presentation outline.
