SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSEMBLING AND/OR DISPLAYING MULTIMEDIA OBJECTS, MODULES OR PRESENTATIONS

摘要

Aspects of the present innovations relate to systems and/or methods involving multimedia modules, objects or animations. According to an illustrative implementation, one method may include accepting at least one input keyword relating to a subject for the animation and performing processing associated with templates. Further, templates may generates different types of output, and each template may include components for display time, screen location, and animation parameters. Other aspects of the innovations may involve providing search results, retrieving data from a plurality of web sites or data collections, assembling information into multimedia modules or animations, and/or providing module or animation for playback.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, input relating to a subject for a multimedia module or multimedia presentation, the multimedia module or multimedia presentation comprising a plurality of scenes; selecting, by the processor, one of a plurality of automatically generated multimedia presentations corresponding to the input, the plurality of automatically generated multimedia presentations generated for display as animations; and transmitting, by the processor, the selected presentation to a display device for display as an animation, the animation comprising the plurality of scenes, each scene in the plurality displayed with a transition between each scene, one or more of the plurality of scenes comprising a map, each scene comprising an interactive trigger that pauses playback of the animation, the transition between each scene based on a transition selected from a library of pre-created transitions, wherein each of the plurality of automatically generated presentations is generated by:
selecting, by the processor, an entity as a subject of the presentation from among a plurality of entities,generating, by the processor, a narrative for the selected entity, the narrative generated as an audio media object for playing as spoken words, the generating of the narrative comprising selecting a data source as a primary reference source for generating the narrative, andselecting, by the processor, a media object associated with the entity, the media object displayed, played, or highlighted at a portion of the narrative corresponding to the entity.
