Abstract

A system and method for automatically constructing personalized video clips for a viewer.

Claims

1-47. -47. (canceled)

48. A method for automatically constructing personalized, real-time and on-demand video clips for a viewer.

49. The method of claim 48, wherein the video clips are at least one of:

(a) informational video clips, to provide information to the viewer;

(b) instructional video clips, personalized according to at least one instructional requirement of the viewer, in which the viewer is instructed to perform at least one action.

50. The method of claim 49, comprising:

constructing the instructional or informational video clips for conveying information to a viewer;

instructing the viewer in health and wellness, regarding a proper administration of a medicament, through one or more automatically-constructed video clip.

51. The method of claim 50, comprising:

constructing the personalized instructional video clip in real time according to one or more instructional requirements of the viewer.

52. The method of claim 50, further comprising:

converting the video clip to an audio-only clip.

53. The method of claim 50, comprising:

issuing an order from an ordering user through an ordering user computer to construct the video clip,

wherein said constructing comprises;

receiving a plurality of recipient parameters from said ordering user computer by a video construction server;

instructing a video script engine by said video construction server with said parameters to construct a script;

constructing scenes of said script by a script preview engine;

retrieving video information by said video construction server; and

constructing the video clip for said scenes according to said script.

54. The method of claim 53, wherein said issuing said order comprises entering the name of a recipient and at least one aspect of medical instruction that the recipient is to receive;

wherein said constructing the video clip according to said script comprises;

generating audio data, and overlaying said audio data over the video data to form the video clip.

55. The method of claim 53, wherein said constructing said script by said video script engine comprises:

constructing a dynamic script by providing a graph-like flow-chart that supports conditional branching and optionally one or more controlled loops over certain scenes.

56. The method of claim 53, comprising:

compiling said script to a native script language; and

injecting customized code into the compiled version,

wherein one or more input parameters are provided by the viewer.

57. The method of claim any of claim 53, comprising:

obtaining information about said medicament automatically from an official medical source, by using text processing or natural language processing.

58. The method of claim 53, comprising:

automatically inserting a medicament image or medicament video of said medicament into said video clip,

wherein said medicament video is automatically generated based on the description of said medicament.

59. The method of claim 53, wherein said constructing the video clip for said scenes comprises:

concatenating said scenes within an audio-video container format without re-encoding said scenes.

60. The method of claim 53, comprising:

truncating the audio and video components of each of said scenes to a multiple of a calculated time period such that said components are synchronized to start simultaneously and end simultaneously at said multiple of said time period;

calculating said time period based on at least one of;

a codec, a sampling rate, or a frame rate of said components.

61. A method comprising:

automatically constructing personalized, real-time and on-demand video clips for a viewer,

wherein said video clips are selected from one of;

video ecards;

informational videos;

instructional videos;

training videos, or video advertisements;

wherein the personalized video clip is constructed according to at least one parameter describing the viewer.

62. The method of claim 61, further comprising:

issuing an order from an ordering user through an ordering user computer to construct the video clip,

wherein said constructing comprises;

receiving said at least one viewer parameter from said ordering user computer by a video construction server;

instructing a video script engine by said video construction server with said at least one parameter to construct a script;

constructing scenes of said script by a script preview engine;

retrieving video information by said video construction server;

constructing the video clip for said scenes according to said script;

generating audio data, and overlaying said audio data over the video data to form the video clip.

63. A method comprising:

creating a personalized medicament instructional video clip for a viewer relating to a medicament prescribed for said viewer, by performing;

issuing an order from an ordering user through an ordering user computer to construct the video clip;

receiving a plurality of viewer parameters from said ordering user computer by a video construction server;

instructing a video script engine by said video construction server with said parameters to construct a script;

constructing scenes of said script by a script preview engine;

retrieving video information by said video construction server;

constructing the video clip for said scenes according to said script.

64. The method of claim 63, comprising:

providing said video clip to said viewer on demand, in near real-time or in real-time.

65. The method of claim 63, comprising:

obtaining information about said medicament automatically from an official medical source, using text processing or natural language processing.

66. The method of claim 65, comprising:

automatically inserting a medicament image or medicament video of said medicament into said video clip,

wherein said medicament video is automatically generated based on the description of said medicament.

67. The method of claim 65, comprising:

constructing the video clip according to said script by generating audio data and by overlaying said audio data over the video data to form the video clip.
