Process for creating a media sequence by coherent groups of media files
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for creating a media sequence based on media files, comprising:
- obtaining a selection of media files from at least a user terminal;
regrouping, with a processing server, the selected media files into a plurality of groups according to at least one coherence criterion which reflects the coherence of the media rendering for the media files belonging to the same group;
for each group among the plurality of groups,selecting a subset of media motifs in a library comprising media motifs, each media motif defining a media rendering of media files, the media rendering comprising the video and/or audio rendering of the media files in a media sequence, andeach media motif having a size which is the range of numbers of media files of which the media motif can define the media rendering,said selection comprising selecting only the media motifs which size is greater than or equal to the number of media files of said each group,andselecting, in this subset of media motifs, a single media motif so that said single media motif is able to define a media rendering for the totality of media files of said each group; and
generating a media sequence by assembling the selected media motifs and the media files associated with the selected media motifs.

Abstract
A process for creating a media sequence, for example video or audio, and an associated device includes the stages of:
- obtaining a selection of media files;
- regrouping the chosen media files into a plurality of groups according to at least one coherence criterion;
- selecting, for each group of media files assembled in this way, a media motif among a plurality of predefined media motifs, the chosen media motif being able to define a media rendering for the set of media files of the group; and
- assembling the media motifs selected in this way and their associated media files in such a way as to form at least one definition of the media sequence. The process can relate to automated video editing as implemented on Web servers.

13. A device for creation of a media sequence based on media files, comprising a system with a processing server connected to a communication network, said system comprising a processor which:
-
obtains one selection of media files from at least a user terminal through said communication network; regroups selected media files into a plurality of groups according to at least one coherence criterion which reflects the coherence of the media rendering for the media files belonging to the same group; for each group among the plurality of groups, selects a subset of media motifs in a library comprising media motifs, each media motif defining a media rendering of media files, the media rendering comprising the video and/or audio rendering of the media files in a media sequence, and each media motif having a size which is the range of numbers of media files of which the media motif can define the media rendering, said selection comprising selecting only the media motifs which size is greater than or equal to the number of media files of said each group, and selects, in this subset of media motifs, a single media motif so that said single media motif is able to define a media rendering for the totality of media files of said each group; and generates a media sequence by assembling the selected media motifs and the media files associated with the selected media motifs.

15. A process for creating a media sequence based on media files, comprising:
-
obtaining a selection of media files from at least a user terminal; regrouping, with a processing server, the selected media files into a plurality groups according to at least one coherence criterion which reflects the coherence of the media rendering for the media files belonging to the same group; for each group among the plurality of groups, selecting a subset of media motifs in a library comprising media motifs, each media motif defining a media rendering of media files, the media rendering comprising the video and/or audio rendering of the media files in a media sequence, and each media motif having a size which is the range of numbers of media files of which the media motif can define the media rendering, said selection comprising selecting only the media motifs which size is greater than or equal to the number of media files of said each group, and selecting, in this subset of media motifs, a single media motif so that said single media motif is able to define a media rendering for the totality of media files of said each group; and generating a media sequence by assembling the selected media motifs and the media files associated with the selected media motifs; wherein the number of media files, of which one media motif can jointly define the media rendering, is variable over a range of values by repetition of at least one constituent elementary component of the media motif, and the determining comprises determining the media motifs whose associated range of values includes the number of media files of said group.
