摘要:
An apparatus is described for polymorphic presentation to pre-recorded motion picture content. The recorded content (DVD DISC) comprises individual segments ((1,0) (2,0) etc,}, and the apparatus comprises sequencing means (SEQ GEN etc) for defining a presentation sequence (Xp) of a subset of the segments and for causing the segments to be presented in accordance with the defined presentation sequence. The sequencing means is operable to generate said sequence by selecting and adding segments to a sequence already partly defined, using (i) randomised values and (ii) predetermined rules specifying compatibility between the segments already included in the sequence and segments which are candidates for adding to the sequence. Editing and content capture apparatuses are disclosed, in which a matrix presentation is used to organise content segments. Recorded segments can be grouped in X, Y etc. dimensions and sequences made by varying ‘character’ parameters (Y etc.) as well as timeline position (X).

摘要:
A method of selecting content to form a content presentation, the presentation comprising an ordered sequence of selected amounts of content, there being a plurality of items of content available for the presentation, the method comprising: (a) for each of the items of content, determining an associated weight-value based, at least in part, on one or more parameters for the presentation; (b) performing a weighted selection of one of the items of content, the selection being weighted in accordance with the weight-values associated with the items of content; (c) selecting at least a part of the content of the selected item of content to be one of the amounts of content in the ordered sequence of selected amounts of content; and (d) repeating steps (a), (b) and (c) until the presentation is complete.
