Abstract
The present disclosure describes specific technical approaches to implementing an arrangement in which two or more individual stories share a common feature or “knot” so as to combine to form a larger overall story, and where the individual stories are presented in different orders to different audiences, with the order of presentation affecting the audience perception of the larger overall story.
Claims24
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
- retrieve, from one or more source devices, multiple cinematographic works that are non-sequel,
- wherein each cinematographic work, when presented on a cinematographic presentation device, presents a self-contained story;
- generate different synthesis cinematographic works including different combinations of the multiple cinematographic works,
- wherein each synthesis cinematographic work is configured for presentation as a unified whole including a cinematographic knot that connects each self-contained story;
- and
- communicate the different synthesis cinematographic works over a communications network to respective cinematographic presentation devices.

A server system comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the server system to:
- retrieve, from one or more source devices, multiple cinematographic works that are non-sequel,
- wherein each cinematographic work, when presented on a cinematographic presentation device, presents a self-contained story;
- select a first cinematographic work of the multiple cinematographic works for a synthesis cinematographic work including a combination of the multiple cinematographic works,
- wherein the synthesis cinematographic work is configured for presentation as a unified whole including a cinematographic knot that connects each self-contained story;
- receive an indication of user input related to playback of the synthesis cinematographic work;
- in response to the indication of user input, select a second cinematographic work of the multiple cinematographic works for the synthesis cinematographic work;
- and
- communicate the synthesis cinematographic work over a communications network to the cinematographic presentation device.
