CREATING SERIALIZED MEDIA CONTENT
Generating serialized media content for a subscriber. A subscriber has access to a database that includes content from multiple subject matter experts. A subset of content is identified based on the subscriber's attributes. Specific content from the subset of content is then selected and used to generate individualized media content. The subscriber can then provide feedback that is used to generate subsequent instances of media content. The feedback is used to identify another subset of content from the database that accounts for the subscriber's feedback.
1 . In a system including a subscriber that has access to a knowledge base for a subject, a method for generating individualized media content for the subscriber regarding the subject, the method comprising:
performing a query on a knowledge base, the knowledge base including content from at least one subject matter expert, wherein the query returns a subset of content;
filtering the subset of content to identify one or more clips for inclusion in an individualized media content;
generating the individualized media content from the one or more clips;
delivering the individualized media content to a subscriber; and
receiving feedback from a subscriber, wherein the feedback is used in the generation of subsequent media content.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing a query on a knowledge base further comprises comparing attributes of the subscriber with the content in the knowledge base to identify the subset of content, wherein the subset of content matches at least one of the subscriber's attributes.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving feedback from a subscriber further comprise receiving input from the subscriber regarding performance of the media content.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving feedback from a subscriber further comprises updating one or more of the attributes.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving feedback from a subscriber further comprises presenting the subscriber with an interface that facilitates collection of the feedback in a manner that can be incorporated into the knowledge base.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering the subset of content to identify one or more clips for inclusion in an individualized media content further comprises applying rules to the subset of content, wherein the rules select specific clips for inclusion in the media content.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the individualized media content from the one or more clips further comprises mixing the one or more clips.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the one or more clips is from a different source.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the source of the at least one clip is a web site, an expert system associated with the knowledge base, or a device of the subscriber.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising repeatedly receiving feedback from the subscriber such that subsequent instances of the media content account for the feedback and/or changing attributes of the subscriber.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject of the knowledge base is exercise and at least a portion of the content in the knowledge base is provided by a subject matter expert that is a trainer.
12 . A computer program product having computer executable instructions for performing the method of claim 1 .
13 . In a system including a subscriber that has access to a knowledge base for a subject, a method for generating serialized media content for the subscriber, the method comprising:
receiving an access request from a subscriber to a knowledge base, the knowledge base including content used to generate individualized media content for a subject;
receiving feedback from the subscriber related to a first instance of media content that was previously provided to the subscriber; and
generating a second instance of media content for the subscriber based at least on the feedback received from the subscriber.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein receiving feedback from the subscriber further comprises updating one or more attributes of the subscriber.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein receiving an access request from a subscriber further comprises uniquely identifying the subscriber.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein generating a second instance of media content further comprises:
querying the knowledge base using at least the feedback and attributes of the subscriber;
returning a subset of content from the knowledge base that matches at least one of the feedback and the attributes;
filtering the subset of content to identify one or more clips for inclusion in the second instance of the media content; and
mixing the one or more clips to generate the second instance of the media content.
17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein receiving feedback from the subscriber related to a first instance of media content further comprises presenting a user interface to the subscriber that enables an expert system to incorporate the feedback into the knowledge base or into the attributes of the subscriber.
18 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising generating the second instance of media content by mixing one or more clips from one or more sources of content.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein at least some of the one or more clips are provided by subject matter experts.
20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein mixing one or more clips from one or more sources of content further comprises mixing the one or more clips at a client and/or at a server system.
21 . The method of claim 19 , wherein a subject of the knowledge base is exercise and a subject matter expert is a trainer.
22 . A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing the method of claim 13.
