  • Patent number: 9281012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic transformation the overall metadata associated with the multimedia content (MMC) at the global media hub (GMH) into unique role-and-client-based views via the network for review through the media access node (MAN) associated with the client, wherein those views of the metadata, general or temporal or subset, are unique and specific to each user in the context of that user's role within the client.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8806346
    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.

The GMH server computer includes processing component, memory for storage of all the metadata, and includes software operable thereon for orchestrating the processes that act on the MMC and metadata, including metadata storage, tracking, management and enforcement of rights and restrictions associated with the MMC stored at the MANs and coupled to the metadata stored at the GMH.
