Digital media asset management
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for managing a plurality of video assets, comprising:
- a user interface;
a controller module comprising code executing in a processor of the computer and operative to receive metadata associated with a plurality of video assets through the user interface;
a database communicatively coupled to the controller module to store the metadata;
a sequence generator module comprising code executing in the processor and operative to generatea playlist comprising one or more video assets from the metadata;
a tag-analysis module comprising code executing in the processor and operative to provide an indication through the user interface in the event of an absence of at least one common metadatum among all the videos in the playlist;
a generator module communicatively coupled to the sequence generator, wherein the generator module is configured to generate a uniform resource locator (URL) address that points to the playlist; and
a communications module providing the URL to a remote machine.

Abstract
This invention comprises a system and a method for managing a plurality of video assets via code executing in a processor. The system and method include a user interface, a controller configured to receive metadata associated with the plurality of video assets through the user interface, a database communicatively coupled to the controller in order to store the metadata, a sequence generator communicatively coupled to the database to generate a playlist from the metadata, a generator module communicatively coupled to the sequence generator module, wherein the generator module is configured to generate a uniform resource locator address (URL) that points to a playlist comprising related video assets and a communications module for providing the URL to a remote machine.

11. A computer-implemented method for managing a plurality of video assets, the method comprising:
-
associating each video asset with a metadata;
selecting through a user-interface one or more videos assets from the plurality of video assets;indicating through the user interface an absence of at least one common metadatum among the selected video assets; associating a sequence of the selected video assets relative to one another, wherein the sequence is definable through the user-interface; creating a playlist on the basis of the sequence associated with the selected video assets; generating a uniform resource locator address (URL) to point to the playlist; and communicating the generated URL to a remote machine. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer-assisted method for managing a playback of a plurality of video assets through management of metadata, the method comprising:
-
selecting for playback through a user-interface one or more videos from the plurality of video assets; indicating through the user interface an absence of at least one common metadatum among the selected video assets; associating the selected videos with the selected metadata that includes a sequence of selection of the videos through the user-interface; arranging the selected videos in a playback queue based on the metadata; and playing the selected videos from the queue in the arrangement established by the metadata. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
