Abstract: Methods and system for presenting a user with multimedia digital content available to and having a high correlation of potential viewing interest to the user, comprises determining which multimedia assets are available to the user; ranking the available multimedia assets as a correlation between the user's interests and demographic information and metadata associated with each multimedia asset. Higher ranking and relevance of each respective multimedia asset is indicative of a higher likelihood of viewing interest to the user. The ranked and available multimedia assets are presented to the user on an interactive display screen, where the higher ranked multimedia assets are featured more prominently to the user on the interactive display screen. The user is then able to take further action with respect to each presented multimedia asset.

Abstract: A server stores organizational information about courtroom physical layout, stores a data set of information about each potential juror and stores issue information about the subject matter of the trial. Research about potential jurors is conducted and information generated is stored in the corresponding data set. Voir dire questions and answers are also stored in the corresponding data sets. The data sets are analyzed to assist in the jury selection process. The data sets are augmented with post trial information from selected jurors. The system analyzes the data sets to identify trends in juror behavior and provide statistical analysis of the likelihood of a selected juror having demographic information favorable or unfavorable to a particular issue. Such analysis information is stored and used during the jury selection process to automatically identify potential jurors who may be predisposed to view key issues at trial in a favorable or unfavorable fashion.
