Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a system and method for creating media programming by selecting and organizing a large number of media elements based on a request for programming. The system selects and orders the media elements according to the data in the request and information about the media elements, such as permitted transitions. The method also includes a method for verifying viewing and comprehension of a unique media program by providing a unique sequence of cues and receiving information from the viewer, such as responses to questions or telephone calls. Additionally, the invention provides a method for creating audiovisual programming from stored audiovisual media elements by selecting certain elements, designating a temporal sequence for them, and automatically selecting transitions between them."

Problems solved by technology

Once videotapes have been provided to the user, it is difficult to verify whether or not the user has viewed the program.
Even if the program has been viewed, the level of comprehension is difficult to assess.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring to FIG. 1, there is depicted a system 10 according to the invention. System 10 includes a computer 20 including processor 30, input devices 40, output and display devices 50 and memory devices 60. Computer 20 may be a conventional personal computer with suitable processor speed and memory capacity and speed. Computer 20 communicates in a suitable manner with library 70 of audiovisual clips 80. Library 70 may be stored on any suitable storage medium of adequate bandwidth and retrieval time characteristics. At present, certain fixed or hard disk systems provide superior performance to other options. Digitized audiovisual clips 80 are stored in library 70. Each audiovisual clip is suitably identified, such as by the name of one or more files which make up the clip.

Database.

[0020]Computer 20 is also suitably associated with a database 100. Database 100 contains unique identifying information for each clip and has associated therewith additional information often arranged...

Abstract

A system and method for creating audiovisual programming has media elements, such as audiovisual clips, stored in a library. A database contains selected information about each of the media elements. The stored information in the database does not dictate the temporal sequence of the media elements. Media elements are selected in response to a request for media programming, and arranged in a temporal organization. A user does not select the individual media elements or their temporal organization. Transitions between audiovisual clips are determined by the system based on information stored in the database and predetermined preferences as to types of transitions. Transition information includes a variety of possible transition points in an individual clip, capable of selection by the system. Separate transitions for the audio and video portions of audiovisual clips may be provided. For unique media programming, a unique sequence of cues may be included within the program for use in verification of viewing and comprehension. Upon completion of the selection of the media elements, the sequence, and the transitions, the media elements are assembled into a media program, such as a video tape.
