Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamically weighting media segments and paths in a structured media presentation are disclosed. The structured media presentation can be, for example, a video tree representing a branching video presentation and defining multiple branches, each defining a path of one or more video content segments. Different portions of the video tree are associated with weights, and during playback of the branching video presentation, a video content segment is automatically selected for presentation based on one or more of the associated weights.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a video tree representing a branching video presentation, the video tree defining a plurality of branches, each branch defining a path of one or more video content segments;
- associating a plurality of weights with different respective portions of the video tree;
- and
- at one or more times during playback of the branching video presentation, automatically selecting a video content segment to present based on one or more of the associated weights.
A system comprising:
- at least one memory for storing computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor for executing the instructions stored on the memory, wherein execution of the instructions programs the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a video tree representing a branching video presentation, the video tree defining a plurality of branches, each branch defining a path of one or more video content segments;
- associating a plurality of weights with different respective portions of the video tree;
- and
- at one or more times during playback of the branching video presentation, automatically selecting a video content segment to present based on one or more of the associated weights.
