Template-based multimedia authoring and sharing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- selectively applying media content to a content description template to author media in a content description, the content description template providing a temporal structure for the media content;
applying a content representation template to the content description to specify rendering criteria for the media content and generate a content description and representation; and
wherein the content description and representation provides for rendering, sharing, and exporting authored media content.

Abstract
Systems and methods for template-based multimedia authoring and sharing are described. In one aspect, media content is selectively applied to a content description template to author media in a content description. The content description template provides a temporal structure for the applied media content. A content representation template is selected and combined with the temporally structured media in the content description to specify rendering criteria and generate a content description and representation for one or more of rendering, sharing, and exporting the temporally structured authored media.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
filtering or parsing multimedia content to identify media content, the filtering or parsing comprising one or more video, photo, and music content filtering or parsing operations;
selectively applying media content to a content description template to author media in a content description, the content description template providing a temporal structure for the media content, the content description template being associated with one or more of an editing method and corresponding editing parameters, a rule, and a preference within which a user can organize and edit media content with respect to the temporal structure;
applying a content representation template to the content description to specify rendering representation criteria for the media content and generate a content description and representation; and
wherein the content description and representation provides for rendering, sharing, and exporting authored media content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A computing device comprising:
-
parsing means to identify media content, the media content comprising one or more of video, photo, and music content;
selecting means to selectively assign one or more portions of the media content to a content description template providing temporal structure to the one or more portions, the content description template being associated with one or more of an editing method and corresponding editing parameters, a rule, and a preference within which a user can organize and edit the one or more portions with respect to the temporal structure;
applying means to apply, independent of the content description template, content representation criteria to the one or more portions; and
one or more of rendering, sharing, and exporting means to respectively render, share, and export the one or more portions based on the content representation criteria.
