Abstract

Provided is a method including receiving a request for a media choreography asset to play on a first client computing device that has control over at least one connected device that has a feature configured to provide a sensory output to a user; obtaining the media choreography asset that includes a primary media track that includes at least one content track to be presented via an audio or video system, and the media choreography asset includes one or more triggers that include a first set of instructions to operate a first set of the at least one connected device at a first timecode and a first duration during a playback of the primary media track; and providing the media choreography asset to the first client computing device.

IPC Classes  ?

• H04N 21/854 - Content authoring
• H04N 21/436 - Interfacing a local distribution network, e.g. communicating with another STB or inside the home
• H04N 21/414 - Specialised client platforms, e.g. receiver in car or embedded in a mobile appliance
• H04N 21/422 - Input-only peripherals, e.g. global positioning system [GPS]
• H04N 21/45 - Management operations performed by the client for facilitating the reception of or the interaction with the content or administrating data related to the end-user or to the client device itself, e.g. learning user preferences for recommending movies or resolving scheduling conflicts

Abstract

Provided is a method including providing a first audio content object that includes a plurality of audio content segments to a set of user computing devices. Each audio content segment of the plurality of audio content segments is associated with a first version. The method also includes obtaining a second version of a first audio content segment and updating the first version of the first audio content segment to the second version to generate a second audio content object that includes the second version of the first audio content segment and at least a first version of a second audio content segment. The method also includes providing the second audio content object to at least a first portion of the set of user computing devices and indicating a version history of the first audio content segment to at least the first portion of the set of user computing devices.

• H04L 67/50 - Network services
• H04N 21/84 - Generation or processing of descriptive data, e.g. content descriptors
• H04N 21/845 - Structuring of content, e.g. decomposing content into time segments

Abstract

Provided are mechanisms that allow automatic media content layering. The systems and methods obtain a media content list that includes a plurality of different types of media content segment entries. Media content tracks are determined from the plurality of media content segment entries and are based on the type of those entries. Media content track features are determined from the media content segment entries where those features are used to adjust the media content tracks, layering of multiple media content tracks, adjusting media content segments that make up the media content tracks or other features. A media content layered object is then generated based on the media content track features and the media content tracks. An action, such as storage, may be performed on the generated media content layered object.
