System and method of automatic entry creation for blogs, web pages or file-sharing sites based on game events
View Patent ↗Systems and methods are provided for at least partially automating content generation of blog entries chronicling an entity's interaction with a multiuser environment. The same may combine automatic data generation with user-generated and/or user-edited or created narrative. The systems and methods may be employed for automatically generating and publishing descriptions, such as posting blog articles. In one implementation, a system automatically posts blog articles with automatic screenshots and automatically-generated descriptive copy of events that occur within a video game, such as in a massive multiplayer online role-playing game.
1. A method for automatically generating blog content, the method comprising:
receiving information indicating that an in-game event has been detected based on gameplay of a user;
generating partial blog content corresponding to the detected in-game event, wherein the partial blog content is generated from one or more predefined components associated with the detected in-game event;
receiving one or more edits to the partial blog content, wherein the received edits are based on user input; and
transmitting the generated and edited blog content over the communication network to a designated website, wherein the generated blog content is automatically published on the designated website.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the designated website includes a social networking site or a file-sharing site.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more predefined components associated with the detected in-game event includes screenshots, audio, video or text associated with the detected in-game event.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the received one or more edits based on user input includes user modifications to the screenshots, audio, video or text associated with the detected in-game event.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received one or more edits based on user input include new user generated text to be associated with the partial blog content.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the in-game events are detected based on pre-determined criteria set by a user.
7. A system for automatically generating blog content, the system comprising:
memory;
a processor that executes instructions stored in memory;
a monitoring module that includes instructions executable by the processor to detect that an in-game event has been detected based on gameplay of a user;
a generating module that includes instructions executable by the processor to:
generate partial blog content corresponding to the detected in-game event, wherein the partial blog content is generated from one or more predefined components associated with the detected in-game event, and
receive one or more edits to the partial blog content, wherein the received edits are based on user input; and
a transmission module that includes instructions executable by the processor to transmit the generated and edited blog content over the communication network to a designated website, wherein the generated blog content is automatically published on the designated website.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the designated website includes a social networking site or a file-sharing site.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more predefined components associated with the detected in-game event includes screenshots, audio, video or text associated with the detected in-game event.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the received one or more edits based on user input includes user modifications to the screenshots, audio, video or text associated with the detected in-game event.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the received one or more edits based on user input include new user generated text to be associated with the partial blog content.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the in-game events are detected based on pre-determined criteria set by a user.
13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a program embodied thereon, the program executable by a processor to perform a method for automatically generating blog content, the method comprising:
receiving information indicating that an in-game event has been detected based on gameplay of a user;
generating partial blog content corresponding to the detected in-game event, wherein the partial blog content is generated from one or more predefined components associated with the detected in-game event;
receiving one or more edits to the partial blog content, wherein the received edits are based on user input; and
transmitting the generated and edited blog content over the communication network to a designated website, wherein the generated blog content is automatically published on the designated website.
14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the designated website includes a social networking site or a file-sharing site.
15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the one or more predefined components associated with the detected in-game event includes screenshots, audio, video or text associated with the detected in-game event.
16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the received one or more edits based on user input includes user modifications to the screenshots, audio, video or text associated with the detected in-game event.
17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the received one or more edits based on user input include new user generated text to be associated with the partial blog content.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the in-game events are detected based on pre-determined criteria set by a user.
