Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for manipulating non-linearly connected transmedia content, in particular for creating, processing and managing non-linearly connected transmedia content. The disclosure includes content creation modes and version control systems for non-linearly connected transmedia content data, in which individual transmedia content data items are connected to either other via directional linking data.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method for manipulating non-linearly connected transmedia content data items being associated with linking data, whereby each element of the linking data defines a directional link from one of the transmedia content data objects to another of the transmedia content data objects, the method comprising:
- receiving instructions to modify an original transmedia content data item;
- retrieving the original transmedia content data item from a data store;
- creating a copy of the original transmedia content data item in the data store in memory, the copy of the transmedia content data item comprising a pointer to the original transmedia content data item and its associated linking data;
- modifying the copy of the transmedia content data item;
- and
- storing the modified copy of the transmedia content data item in the data store including the pointer to the original transmedia content data item and its associated linking data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer readable instructions which, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- receive instructions to modify an original transmedia content data item;
- retrieve the original transmedia content data item from a data store;
- create a copy of the original transmedia content data item in the data store in memory, the copy of the transmedia content data item comprising a pointer to the original transmedia content data item and its associated linking data;
- modify the copy of the transmedia content data item;
- and
- store the modified copy of the transmedia content data item in the data store including the pointer to the original transmedia content data item and its associated linking data.
An electronic device comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a memory coupled with and readable by the processing circuitry and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processor to:
- receive instructions to modify an original transmedia content data item;
- retrieve the original transmedia content data item from a data store;
- create a copy of the original transmedia content data item in the data store in memory, the copy of the transmedia content data item comprising a pointer to the original transmedia content data item and its associated linking data;
- modify the copy of the transmedia content data item;
- and
- store the modified copy of the transmedia content data item in the data store including the pointer to the original transmedia content data item and its associated linking data.
