System and method for creating and presenting composite video-on-demand content

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for the dynamic creation and presentation of user-specified VOD content consisting of multiple VOD clips as a passive viewing experience. For one embodiment, a user selects a set of VOD clips from a list or other selection presentation and the selected VOD clips are presented back-to-back. For one embodiment of the invention, the user may reorder the presentation sequence of the selected VOD clips. Embodiments of the invention thereby allow a user to dynamically create and present a user-specific, passive viewing presentation.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a video-content server; a client device, comprising first non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a first processor, cause the client device to:
request two or more video-content clips from video content associated with a single event;receive the two or more video-content clips as a single video stream for playback that comprises indices comprising start and stop time codes for each of the two or more video-content clips; andautomatically jump during playback to an indexed start time code of a next video clip in the single video stream; and a system-control device disposed between the video-content server and the client device, comprising second non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a second processor, cause the system-control device to:
link one of the two or more video-content clips to a target uniform resource locator (URL) linking to supplemental information associated with the one of the two or more video-content clips; andexecute defined and stored rules that decide if video-content clips need to be inserted into a stream and, if so, where in the stream the insertion will occur,wherein the defined and stored rules constrain selection of the video-content clips to be inserted into the stream to segments from within a single video-content asset.
