Abstract

A method for presenting customized content to a viewer by archiving the viewer'"'"'s behavior on a server coupled to a wide area network and collecting the viewer'"'"'s preferences over time; receiving a request for a selected audio or video content; dynamically generating customized audio or video content according to the viewer'"'"'s preferences; merging the dynamically generated customized audio or video content with the selected audio or video content; and displaying the customized audio or video content to the viewer.

Claims

1. A method for presenting customized content to a viewer, comprising:

a. archiving the viewer'"'"'s behavior on a server coupled to a wide area network and collecting the viewer'"'"'s preferences over time;

c. dynamically generating customized audio or video content according to the viewer'"'"'s preferences,

d. merging the dynamically generated customized audio or video content with the selected audio or video content; and

e. displaying the customized audio or video content to the viewer.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising registering content with the server.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising annotating the content with scene information.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the viewer'"'"'s behavior is correlated with the scene information.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising correlating additional audio

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising expressing a scoring formula by a database agent.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing an interactive community participation.

16. The method of claim 1, comprising generating an acyclic tree of semantic descriptors.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising applying a transitive association from semantic definitions to specific semantics.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the definitions include more general definitions to score weighted attributes.

6. or video content with an annotation.
