Abstract
A narrative includes a number of serially connected narrative segments combined by a director or editor in a defined sequence to tell a story. A number of different narrative segments are available to the director or editor. A content delivery editor provides editors and directors with the ability to augment a narrative with additional narrative segments that provide alternate perspectives, views, or insights to the consumer. Such allows conveyance of the same narrative to the consumer using a number of plots or perspectives. Branch points in the narrative provide the consumer the opportunity to follow a storyline they find interesting. Each consumer follows a “personalized” path through the narrative. The director or editor may influence selection at branch points by providing priming stimuli prior to presentation of a prompt to select a branch and by optionally providing target stimuli during presentation of the prompt to select a branch.

43. A method of operation in a narrative editing system which includes at least one processor, and at least one nontransitory process-readable medium that stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data, the narrative editing system operable to edit a narrative comprised of a plurality of narrative segments, the method comprising:
-
providing at least one user interface with a plurality of user interface elements, the user interface elements including at least one priming selection user interface element, which in use sets a priming selection for at least one selection-influenced narrative segment, the selection of which is to be influenced by priming, the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment is to be included in a prompt to select between a number of narrative segments during a presentation of the narrative; in response to the priming selection for the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment, logically associating the priming selection with the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment in the at least one nontransitory process-readable medium; logically associating a priming stimulus with at least one of the narrative segments of the narrative that is to be presented prior to the presentation of the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment in the at least one nontransitory process-readable medium, the priming stimulus provided during a presentation of the at least one of the narrative segments of the narrative that is to be presented prior to the presentation of the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment; and logically associating a target stimulus with the prompt in which the selection-influenced narrative segment is to be included in the at least one nontransitory process-readable medium, the target stimulus provided during a providing of the prompt, wherein user exposure to the priming stimulus influences selection of the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

56. A narrative editing system, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one nontransitory process-readable medium that stores at least one of data or processor-executable instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; provide at least one user interface with at least one user interface element, the at least one user interface element including; at least one priming selection user interface element, which in use sets a priming selection for at least one selection-influenced narrative segment, the selection of which is to be influenced by priming, the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment is to be included in a prompt to select between a number of narrative segments during a presentation of the narrative; wherein the at least one processor; in response to the priming selection for the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment, logically associates the priming selection with the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment in the at least one nontransitory process-readable medium; logically associates a priming stimulus with at least one of the narrative segments of the narrative that is to be presented prior to the presentation of the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment in the at least one nontransitory process-readable medium, the priming stimulus provided during a presentation of the at least one of the narrative segments of the narrative that is to be presented prior to the presentation of the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment; and logically associates a target stimulus with the prompt in which the selection-influenced narrative segment is to be included in the at least one nontransitory process-readable medium, the target stimulus provided during a providing of the prompt, wherein user exposure to the priming stimulus influences selection of the at least one selection-influenced narrative segment. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
