Abstract

There is provided a system and method for generating a plot of a digital print. According to an exemplary embodiment, a method includes presenting a micro event of the digital print, the digital print having a plurality of micro events, each micro event having a plurality of outcomes and polling for user input for the micro event while presenting the micro event. The method further includes determining an outcome of the micro event based on the polling for user input and selecting a scenario from a scenario map based on the outcome of said micro event. Finally, the method includes generating a storyline of the plot based on the scenario selected from the scenario map.

Claims

1. A method for generating a plot of a digital print, said method comprising:

presenting a micro event of the digital print, the digital print having a plurality of micro events, each micro event having a plurality of outcomes;

polling for user input for said micro event while presenting said micro event;

determining an outcome of said micro event based on said polling for user input;

selecting a scenario from a scenario map based on the outcome of said micro event;

generating a storyline of said plot based on said scenario selected from said scenario map.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising selecting said micro event to present from said plurality of micro events based on any of a device attribute, a user location, and a user profile.

3. The method of claim 1, comprising generating said storyline of said plot based on a user location.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said storyline is based on said user location relative to another user.

5. The method of claim 1, comprising generating said storyline of said plot based on a user profile.

6. The method of claim 1, comprising generating said storyline of said plot based on a device attribute.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said micro event is presented using a digital frame displayed on a display.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said digital print comprises a digital comic book.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein said digital print comprises a digital picture book.

10. The method of claim 1, comprising presenting said generated storyline of said plot.

12. The system of claim 1, said microprocessor configured to select said micro event to present from said plurality of micro events based on any of a device attribute, a user location, and a user profile.

13. The system of claim 1, said microprocessor configured to generate said storyline of said plot based on a user location.

14. The system of claim 2, wherein said storyline is based on said user location relative to another user.

15. The system of claim 1, said microprocessor configured to generate said storyline of said plot based on a user profile.

16. The system of claim 1, said microprocessor configured to generate said storyline of said plot based on a device attribute.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein said micro event is presented using a digital frame displayed on a display.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein said digital print comprises a digital comic book.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein said digital print comprises a digital picture book.

20. The system of claim 1, said microprocessor configured to present said generated storyline of said plot.

11. A system for generating a plot of a digital print, said system comprising a microprocessor, said microprocessor configured to:

present a micro event of the digital print, the digital print having a plurality of micro events, each micro event having a plurality of outcomes;

poll for user input for said micro event while presenting said micro event;

determine an outcome of said micro event based on said polling for user input;

select a scenario from a scenario map based on the outcome of said micro event;

generate a storyline of said plot based on said scenario selected from said scenario map.
