Systems and methods for variable video production, distribution and presentation
View Patent ↗Methods, apparatus, systems and machine readable medium for variable video production, distribution and presentation are disclosed. An example video player to play a variable video includes an input interface to request first relevance data from a first intended viewer of a first version of the variable video and to request second relevance data from a second intended viewer of a second version of the variable video. The example video player also includes an assembler to assemble a first sequence of two or more of a plurality of scenes charted in a video file based on the first relevance data and at least one vector tagged to the plurality of scenes based on content of the plurality of scenes and to assemble a second sequence of two or more of the plurality of scenes charted in the video file based on the second relevance data and at least one vector.
1. A video player to play a variable video comprising a plurality of different sequences of scenes to be compiled for different viewers, the player comprising:
an input interface to request first viewer relevance data from a first intended viewer of a first version of the variable video and to request second viewer relevance data from a second intended viewer of a second version of the variable video, the first viewer relevance data indicative of one or more of a first characteristic or a first preference of the first intended viewer and the second viewer relevance data indicative of one or more of a second characteristic or a second preference of the second intended viewer; and
an assembler to assemble, from a single video file, (1) the first version of the variable video comprising a first sequence of two or more scenes charted in the video file based on the first viewer relevance data and at least one vector of relevancy tagged to one or more of the scenes indicative of content of the scenes and (2) the second version of the variable video comprising a second sequence of two or more of the scenes charted in the video file based on the second viewer relevance data and at least one vector of relevancy, the second sequence different than the first sequence.
2. A player as defined in claim 1 , wherein the file is an extensible markup language file.
3. A player as defined in claim 1 further comprising a compiler to play the video, wherein the assembler is to assemble at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence and the compiler is to play at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence in real time or near real time.
4. A player as defined in claim 1 , wherein the scenes comprise content that is rendered as the assembler assembles at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
5. A player as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first and second viewer relevance data includes demographic data.
6. A player as defined in claim 1 , wherein the assembler is to download a plurality of content from a network to assemble at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
7. A player as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first sequence includes first content and second content presented simultaneously, and the assembler is to modify the presentation of the first content to match a duration of the second content.
8. A player as defined in claim 7 , wherein the second content is audio content.
9. A player as defined in claim 1 , wherein the assembler is to operate at a same geographic location as the input interface.
10. A method to play a variable video comprising a plurality of different sequences of scenes to be compiled for different viewers, the method comprising:
requesting first viewer relevance data from a first intended viewer of a first version of the variable video, the first viewer relevance data indicative of one or more of a first characteristic or a first preference of the first intended viewer;
requesting second viewer relevance data from a second intended viewer of a second version of the variable video, the second viewer relevance data indicative of one or more of a second characteristic or a second preference of the second intended viewer; and
assembling, from a single video file, (1) the first version of the variable video comprising a first sequence of two or more scenes charted in the video file based on the first viewer relevance data and at least one vector of relevancy tagged to one or more of the scenes indicative of content of the scenes and (2) the second version of the variable video comprising a second sequence of two or more of the scenes charted in the video file based on the second viewer relevance data and at least one vector of relevancy, the second sequence different than the first sequence.
11. A method as defined in claim 10 , wherein the file is an extensible markup language file.
12. A method as defined in claim 10 further comprising playing the video file in real time or near real time to the assembling of at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
13. A method as defined in claim 10 , wherein the scenes comprises comprise content and the method further comprises rendering the content substantially simultaneously to the assembling of at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
14. A method as defined in claim 10 , wherein the first and second viewer relevance data includes demographic data.
15. A method as defined in claim 10 , wherein the assembling of at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence comprises downloading a plurality of content from a network.
16. A method as defined in claim 10 , wherein the first sequence includes first content and second content presented simultaneously, and the method further comprises modifying the presentation of the first content to match a duration of the second content.
17. A method as defined in claim 16 , wherein the second content is audio content.
18. A method as defined in claim 10 further comprising assembling the first sequence in a same geographic location as requesting the first viewer relevance data.
19. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed, cause a machine to at least:
request first viewer relevance data from a first intended viewer of a first version of a variable video, the first viewer relevance data indicative of one or more of a first characteristic or a first preference of the first intended viewer;
request second viewer relevance data from a second intended viewer of a second version of the variable video, the second viewer relevance data indicative of one or more of a second characteristic or a second preference of the second intended viewer; and
assemble, from a single video file, (1) the first version of the variable video comprising a first sequence of two or more scenes charted in the video file based on the first viewer relevance data and at least one vector of relevancy tagged to one or more of the scenes indicative of content of the scenes and (2) the second version of the variable video comprising a second sequence of two or more of the scenes charted in the video file based on the second viewer relevance data and at least one vector of relevancy, the second sequence different than the first sequence.
20. A medium as defined in claim 19 , wherein the file is an extensible markup language file.
21. A medium as defined in claim 19 further causing a machine to play the video file in real time or near real time to the assembling of at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
22. A medium as defined in claim 19 , wherein the plurality of scenes comprises a plurality of content and the instructions further cause a machine to render the content substantially simultaneously to the assembling of at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
23. A medium as defined in claim 19 , wherein the first and second viewer relevance data includes demographic data.
24. A medium as defined in claim 19 , wherein the machine is to download a plurality of content from a network to assemble at least one of the first sequence or the second sequence.
25. A medium as defined in claim 19 , wherein the first sequence includes first content and second content presented simultaneously, and the instructions further cause a machine to modify the presentation of the first content to match a duration of the second content.
26. A medium as defined in claim 25 , wherein the second content is audio content.
27. A medium as defined in claim 19 further causing the machine to assemble the first sequence in a same geographic location as the machine is caused to request the first viewer relevance data.
