  • Patent number: 10346460
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for automatically digitally transforming and editing video files to produce a finished video presentation. The method includes the steps of storing video files with associated tags, recording or receiving from a user a master video, matching the words or phrases recorded in the master video with the tags to determine one or more locations at which to insert the video files, and automatically assembling the master video and video files into the finished video presentation. Audio and visual effects may also be added to the video presentation. Computer apparatus configured to generate the video presentation is also described.

  • Publication number: 20160364455
    Abstract: This document presents a system and method for interaction with a social networking site where a user may be constrained from using some features of the site based upon pre-defined conditions. A social networking site such as a personal matching site may set a definite number of matches an individual user may make. Once all matches have been made, the user may be constrained against actions such as searching until the user has investigated those matches already made or has removed at least one match to free up a slot for the data from a new match to be entered into that slot. Constraints may be defined to prohibit any feature of the social networking site to control those features that are determined to be most subject to constraint enforcement.
