Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for generating videos with characters indicating regions of images are provided. For example, an image containing a first region may be received. At least one characteristic of a character may be obtained. A script containing a first segment of the script may be received. The first segment of the script may be related to the first region of the image. The at least one characteristic of a character and the script may be used to generate a video of the character presenting the script and at least part of the image, where the character visually indicates the first region of the image while presenting the first segment of the script.

Claims (39)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing data and computer implementable instructions for carrying out a method for generating videos, the method comprising:

receiving an input including from a log of financial transaction events of the user;

obtaining a personalized profile associated with a user;

obtaining a script related to the input;

using the personalized profile to determine at least one visual characteristic of an avatar; and

using the determined at least one visual characteristic of the avatar to artificially generate an output video of the avatar visually points to a graphic presentation of a past financial transaction, wherein the user is a prospective viewer of the output video.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the at least one image further comprises a first region and a second region, the script contains a first segment and a second segment, the first segment of the script is related to the first region and the second segment of the script is related to the second region, and wherein in the artificially generated video the avatar visually indicates the first region while presenting the first segment of the script and visually indicates the second region while presenting the second segment of the script.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

using the personalized profile to select the first region and the second region.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the obtained script includes a plurality of segments, and the method further comprises analyzing the script based on the personalized profile to select the first segment of the script and the second segment of the script out of the plurality of segments.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the script and the at least one image relate to an entry of an encyclopedia, and wherein, in the artificially generated video, the avatar presents the entry of the encyclopedia.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the script comprises a weather forecast, the at least one image comprises a depiction of a map related to the weather forecast, and wherein, in the artificially generated video, the avatar visually points to the map while presenting the weather forecast.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the script is associated with information from a calendar of the user; and wherein in the artificially generated video, the avatar visually points to a graphic presentation of a calendar event while disclosing the calendar event.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the script related to the input includes using the personalized profile of the user to generate the script.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

obtaining information from a log of phone calls of the user, and

generating the script based on the obtained information;

wherein, in the artificially generated video, the avatar visually points to a graphic presentation of a past phone call while presenting details on the past phone call.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the at least one image includes at least a depiction of a person, and wherein generating the output video includes replacing at least part of the depiction of the person in the at least one image with a depiction of the avatar.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the depiction of the avatar includes at least 10% of the depiction of the person.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the personalized profile is determined based on a geographical location associated with the user, and a determination of the at least one characteristic of the avatar is based on the geographical location associated with the user.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the personalized profile is determined based on an age of the user, and a determination of the at least one characteristic of the avatar is based on the age of the user.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the personalized profile is determined based on a cultural association of the user, and a determination of the at least one characteristic of the avatar is based on the cultural association of the user.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the at least one visual characteristic of the avatar includes a color scheme the avatar.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the at least one visual characteristic of the avatar includes a gender of the avatar.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the at least one visual characteristic of the avatar includes a characteristic of an age of the avatar.

18. A method for generating videos, the method comprising:

receiving input including information from a log of financial transaction events of the user;

obtaining a personalized profile associated with a user;

obtaining a script related to the input;

using the personalized profile to determine at least one visual characteristic of an avatar; and

using the determined at least one visual characteristic of the avatar to artificially generate an output video of the avatar visually points to a graphic presentation of a past financial transaction, wherein the user is a prospective viewer of the output video.

19. A system for generating videos, the system comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

receive input including information from a log of financial transaction events of the user;

obtain a personalized profile associated with a user;

obtain a script related to the input;
