Devices, systems, and methods for producing and distributing multiple variations of an instance of a media presentation
First Claim
1. A media production device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory having instructions executable on the processor, including instructions to;
allow a producer of media content to define a number of variating dimensions for a media presentation;
maintain a number of subscriber variation database tables having a number of records that when queried defines a number of subscriber variations in terms of a first set of variating dimensions from the number of variating dimensions;
maintain a number of media element database tables having a number of records that when queried defines a number of media elements in terms of a second set of variating dimensions from the number of variating dimensions; and
define a variation of an instance of the media presentation for at least one of the number of subscriber variations by comparing the first set of variating dimensions for a subscriber variation with the second set of variating dimensions for at least one of the number of media elements in order to determine which elements and in what order the elements are to be included the variation of the instance of the media presentation.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are described for authoring, producing, securing, and/or distributing multiple variations of an instance of a media presentation. For example, one device embodiment includes a processor and memory having instructions executable on the processor. The instructions can allow a producer of media content to define a number of variating dimensions for a media presentation, maintain subscriber variation database tables having records that define subscriber variations in terms of a set of variating dimensions from the number of variating dimensions, maintain media element database tables having records that define media elements in terms of a set of variating dimensions from the number of variating dimensions, and determine which elements and in what order the elements are to be included a variation of an instance of a media presentation.

20. A system for providing multiple variations of media content comprising:
-
a media production component having executable instruction to;
define a variation of an instance of a media presentation for at least one subscriber variation by comparing a first set of variating dimensions for the subscriber variation with a second set of variating dimensions for at least one media element to determine which elements and in what order the elements are to be included a variation of an instance of the media presentation;
a distribution server component;
a telecommunications network component; and
a presentation component. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)

24. A media content authoring device, comprising;
-
a processor; and
a memory having instructions executable on the processor, including instructions to;
allow an author of media content to use a number of variating dimensions to create a number of logical conditions which are associated with portions of a media element script such that an output produced when the media element script is processed through a variation-aware presentation engine varies for a subset of an audience based upon an that audience subset'"'"'s profile according to the variating dimensions. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)

27. A method for encrypting media files comprising:
-
creating a hardware identifier for an end user presentation device; and
sending the hardware identifier to a media production device to create an encryption key;
encrypting a number of media files each having a media payload by associating the encryption key to the media file such that only the media payload is encrypted and such that the encrypted file can only be presented on the end user presentation device for which the file was encrypted.
