Configurable workflow editor for multimedia editing systems and methods therefor
First Claim
1. A method for providing configurable workflow for editing multimedia content and messaging events therein, the method comprising:
- providing a global media hub (GMH) including at least one GMH server computer;
providing at least one remote media asset node (MAN) in electronic communication over a network with the GMH, the at least one MAN server computer associated with at least one client, the at least one MAN for editing multimedia content (MMC) and storing the MMC;
providing a configurable workflow editor module; and
providing a client user interface (UI);
receiving at the at least one MAN and the GMH a request for a workflow that acts on the MMC, the request received from the client user interface (UI);
receiving at least one user-predetermined trigger workflow event from the client UI at the configurable workflow editor module, the at least one user-predetermined trigger workflow event selected from event start, event completion, event success, event failure, and combinations thereof;
directing with the client UI the workflow acting on the MMC at the at least one MAN;
controlling, with the GMH, all activities and processes associated with the workflow acting on the MMC at the at least one MAN;
storing all metadata associated with the MMC at the GMH;
detecting the at least one user-predetermined trigger event with the configurable workflow editor module;
generating a notification of the detected at least one user-predetermined trigger event with the configurable workflow editor module; and
transmitting the notification to the at least one client over the network.

Abstract
A distributed system and methods for web-based multimedia content (MMC) including a global media hub (GMH) server computer (500) and a multiplicity of remote media asset node (MAN) server computers (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) and client terminals (515, 525, 535, 536, 537, 545, 555) for network-based coupling to the MAN for editing the MMC; the GMH includes a processing component, memory for storage of all metadata, and includes software operable thereon for orchestrating the processes that act on the MMC and metadata, and further includes a configurable workflow editor module having a messaging events function for notifying the user of the occurrence of user-predetermined at least one trigger event(s) within workflows through the system.

11. A distributed system for editing multimedia content (MMC) comprising:
-
a global media hub (GMH) including at least one GMH server computer; at least one remote media asset node (MAN) in electronic communication over a network with the GMH, the at least one MAN server computer associated with at least one client, the at least one MAN for editing multimedia content (MMC) and storing the MMC; a configurable workflow editor module; and a client user interface (UI); wherein the at least one MAN and the GMH are operative for receiving a request for a workflow that acts on the MMC, the request received from the client user interface (UI); wherein the configurable workflow editor module is operative for receiving at least one user-predetermined trigger workflow event from the client UI, the at least one user-predetermined trigger workflow event selected from event start, event completion, event success, event failure, and combinations thereof; wherein the client UI is operative for directing the workflow acting on the MMC at the at least one MAN; wherein the GMH is further operative for controlling all activities and processes associated with the workflow acting on the MMC at the at least one MAN and storing all metadata associated with the MMC at the GMH; wherein the configurable workflow editor module is further operative for detecting the at least one user-predetermined trigger event, generating a notification of the detected at least one user-predetermined trigger event, and transmitting the notification to the at least one client over the network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
