Method and system for production and capture of content for linear broadcast and publication

A system, comprising:

• a content generation device comprising:
• a writing capture device;
• at least one sensor configured to detect a presence of a user, at a first position;
• a controller configured to:
• generate a first dialog to prompt the user to move from the first position to a second position that is different from the first position,
• wherein the second position is in front of the writing capture device;
• generate a second dialog to interact with the user, wherein the second dialog comprises at least one of visual cues or audible cues for the user;
• receive at least one of visual responses or audible responses from the user based on the second dialog;
• authenticate the user based on the at least one of the visual responses or the audible responses;
• an image capture device configured to capture first image content of the user through a partially opaque screen of the writing capture device, wherein the first image content is captured based on the authentication, wherein the user is located external to the content generation device;
• wherein the first image content is captured from within the content generation device and behind the writing capture device;
• wherein the first image content captured by the image capture device is unreflected by the reflective pane;
• wherein the writing capture device is further configured to concurrently capture user generated content that corresponds to at least one of second image content drawn by the user or third image content written by the user;
• and
• wherein the controller further configured to synchronously merge the first image content and the user generated content to generate merged content;
• and
• a presentation device configured to present the merged content on the partially opaque screen of the writing capture device,
• wherein the merged content is presented based on one of a reflection of a display of the merged content on a display device to the partially opaque screen or a projection of the merged content on the partially opaque screen,
• wherein the merged content is viewable through a reflective pane that is located in the content generation device between the writing capture device and the display device,
• wherein the reflective pane has a mirror coating on a first side facing the display device and an antireflective coating on a second side which is opposite to the first side,
• wherein the second side comprises 45 degrees beam splitters, and
• wherein the controller is further configured to communicate the merged content to a multicast network operator for publication via at least one network.

A method, comprising:

• in a controller:
• receiving signals from at least one sensor present within a content generation device;
• monitoring the received signals;
• detecting a presence of a user, at a first position, based on the monitored signals;
• generating a first dialog to prompt the user to move from the first position to a second position that is different from the first position, wherein the second position is in front of a writing capture device;
• generating a second dialog for interacting with the user on the writing capture device, wherein the second dialog comprises at least one of visual cues or audible cues for the user;
• receiving at least one of visual responses or audible responses from the user based on the second dialog;
• authenticating the user based on the at least one of the visual responses or the audible responses;
• capturing content associated with the user, through a partially opaque screen of the writing capture device, based on the authentication;
• controlling display of the captured content on the partially opaque screen, wherein the captured content is displayed based on one of a reflection of the display of the captured content on a display device to the partially opaque screen or a projection of the captured content on the partially opaque screen,
• wherein the captured content is viewable through a reflective pane that is located in the content generation device between the writing capture device and the display device,
• wherein the reflective pane has a mirror coating on a first side facing the display device and an antireflective coating on a second side which is opposite to the first side, and wherein the second side comprises 45 degrees beam splitters;
• wherein the captured content is unreflected by the reflective pane;
• and
• communicating the captured content to a multicast network operator for publication via at least one network.

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive signals from at least one sensor present within a content generation device;
• monitor the received signals;
• detect a presence of a user, at a first position, based on the monitored signals;
• generate a first dialog to prompt the user to move from the first position to a second position that is different from the first position, wherein the second position is in front of a writing capture device;
• generate a second dialog to interact with the user on the writing capture device, wherein the second dialog generates at least one of visual cues or audible cues for the user;
• receive at least one of visual responses or audible responses from the user based on the second dialog;
• authenticate the user based on the at least one of the visual responses or the audible responses;
• capture content associated with the user, through a partially opaque screen of the writing capture device, based on the authentication;
• control display of the captured content on the partially opaque screen, wherein the captured content is displayed based on one of a reflection of a display of the captured content on a display device to the partially opaque screen or a projection of the captured content on the partially opaque screen,
• wherein the captured content is viewable through a reflective pane that is located in the content generation device between the writing capture device and the display device,
• wherein the reflective pane has a mirror coating on a first side facing the display device and an antireflective coating on a second side which is opposite to the first side, and wherein the second side comprises 45 degrees beam splitters, and
• wherein the captured content is unreflected by the reflective pane;
• and
• communicate the captured content to a multicast network operator for publication via at least one network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause a computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving signals from at least one sensor present within a content generation device;
• monitoring the received signals;
• detecting a presence of a user, at a first position, based on the received signals;
• generating a first dialog to prompt the user to move from the first position to a second position that is different from the first position, wherein the second position is in front of a writing capture device;
• generating a second dialog for interacting with the user on the writing capture device, wherein the second dialog generates at least one of visual cues or audible cues for the user;
• receiving at least one of visual responses or audible responses from the user based on the second dialog;
• authenticating the user based on the at least one of the visual responses or the audible responses;
• capturing content associated with the user through a partially opaque screen of the writing capture device, based on the authentication;
• controlling display of the captured content on the partially opaque screen, wherein the captured content is displayed based on one of a reflection of the display of the captured content on a display device to the partially opaque screen or a projection of the captured content on the partially opaque screen,
• wherein the captured content is viewable through a reflective pane that is located in the content generation device between the writing capture device and the display device,
• wherein the captured content is unreflected by the reflective pane, and
• wherein the reflective pane has a mirror coating on a first side facing the display device and an antireflective coating on a second side which is opposite to the first side, and wherein the second side comprises 45 degrees beam splitters;
• and
